| Music I would succumb to under torture @bsimpson : Political leanings and Trump bashing really aren't necessary, especially in regard to the national anthem or a thread about music preferences. (And trust me, I'm no Trump fan.) @bsimpson : Any racially intense, hatre-provoking music... | |
| Your ship just came in! time to buy new gear..? @oregonpapa Agreed. I'd buy more land. | |
| Do you have any concern for the environment when keeping your equipment 24/7 ? @cleeds First off, the reference to short term forecasts was in jest. Second, the accuracy of short term forecasts depends on how you define 'short term' and how you define accurate. And while you might describe it as 'remarkably accurate' it is r... | |
| Do you have any concern for the environment when keeping your equipment 24/7 ? Tim, all of these models are based on the assumption that we are in a state of beneficial equilibrium _now_ or at least recently.Such prognostications also invariably fail to account for the adaptability of human innovation and resilience and alwa... | |
| Your ship just came in! time to buy new gear..? The 'two items' limit is an artificial and arbitrary construct. I do what I want with my money. ;-) | |
| Tooling / Replacement Drivers I'd buy a cheap-o SAE and Metric hex key kits (if they are hex heads) and find out exactly what size your speaker has and then buy a high quality hex driver in that size. I like straight handle (like a screwdriver) rather than T-handle.Are you sur... | |
| Your ship just came in! time to buy new gear..? I'll bite, but I can't bring any special expertise to the table. I'd basically just upgrade with the brands in my current but 15 year old system which sounds great to me.What I'd get:Aerial Acoustics 20t speakersMarl Levinson No. 53 monoblocksAudi... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Don Henley - Building the Perfect Beast. My wife bought it in a used record store while I was browsing 'more serious stuff'. Like new. Vinyl is clean. Very few clicks and pops. SQ is good. Good album too. | |
| Do posters intend to hurt the feelings of other members? @whart : "On discourse and what you like or don't--Make it better. That's all you can do"Amen to that. | |
| Music I would succumb to under torture @bdp24 : Agreed. And while I don't listen to it a lot, I appreciate older, traditional country, Hank Williams, Patsy Kline, even Dolly.I like bands like Blue Mountain, Wilco, Son Volt, etc that were heavily influenced by country.It just the last 1... | |
| Do posters intend to hurt the feelings of other members? Nothing like meanness and disrespect to draw in the members of a website essentially dedicated to music. For my part, I wouldn't miss it and don't miss it on other sites where it does not exist.Not claiming sainthood here either. I'm quick to be s... | |
| Do you have any concern for the environment when keeping your equipment 24/7 ? @noble100 :"I'm thinking jettisoning these non-believers......."All in jest, I hope. But that is what it always boils down to, no? One cult vs the next? The 'Believers', 'The Knowledgeable Ones', 'The Elite' verses the 'Non-Believers', 'The Denier... | |
| what replaced your Aerial 7B speakers? Yep, when we want something new we want something new. And it feels more reasonable if we can rationalize the purchase and it doesn't feel so good if our rationalization proves not to be so rational...which is almost always the case with me....at ... | |
| Do posters intend to hurt the feelings of other members? @elizabeth if the reason people come here is for the arguments and incivility then you are correct.I'd like to think they come to discuss hi-fi and music. Maybe I'm wrong.Kind of reminds me of the Monty Python skit where people come pay to have an... | |
| Music I would succumb to under torture Pop country makes me sick. Old country I can listen to. alt-country is often pretty good. But take the standard fare at any televised country music award show (I think they have one every second Tuesday) and there you have my list of unlistenables... |
