| What's a Good Way to Buy Music Collections? Try Bandcamp if your artists are available there since the artist gets a larger share of the profits on that website. | |
| Is low cost DAC worth it? A good budget DAC should be a step up from the one in the Airport Express. Topping, SMSL, and Schiit all have well measuring and nice sounding DACs in you budget. | |
| Are your listening levels healthy? Doing damage? If you use headphones, that is where you real concern should be especially if you use IEM during airplane travel for extended periods. | |
| playing "top-damaged" CDs ? @bigkidz a girl requesting to listen to Hot Tuna is a keeper. @richalan If you are ok with FLAC files, I have a ton of Dead shows ripped to FLAC. I also have a fair amount of live Hot Tuna shows in FLAC file format. If you are interested send m... | |
| A step to the side- Smart TV question Sony OLED. Uses the same panel as LG but has much better user interface. | |
| Pee Wee Herman has passed away Loved Paul Reubens work. I guess I first saw him in one of the Cheech and Chong movies. The TV shows and the movies based on Pee-Wee were all great. | |

| What to do with my legacy CD collection? I ripped several thousand and then stored them in boxes. | |
| Women Who Rock Aretha Franklin, Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth), Tina Weymouth (Talking Heads), Kim Deal (Pixies), Exene Cervenka (X), Poison Ivy (The Cramps) | |
| LOUDEST Concert and Tinnitus I want to say The Meat Puppets at the Cat's Cradle in Chapel Hill 25 years ago but I am sure that there many others too. | |
| Better story teller than Edmund Fitzgerald? @docknow that whole Hell on Church Street album by the Punch Bros as was the original by Tony Rice is excellent. @northman Love that tune as I also do Hatfield by Widespread Panic. Many of their tunes tell a solid story. The Vic Chessnut/Widespre... | |
