| What are you streaming tonight? The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars | |
| The awakening... @ami if English is not your native language then you are still far ahead of many many (if not most) Americans in regard to your writing skills. You are light years ahead of 99.99% of us, including me, in regard to mastering more than one language. | |
| The awakening... @tomic601 "so yes, some of my high end toys are not messed with and others modified and thrashed to within inches of doom ( mine and the toy )"I don’t have any high end toys at all, but my 350Z is now pure track car. I’ve been off roading more tim... | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? I think that as many have mentioned here it just depends on what you're after. I care nothing for "3D" movies and would never try to simulate that at home. I'm sure that with the right money, equipment, expertise and room that I could do it but wh... | |
| Movies employing music in a great way. Apocalypse Now. The music is as much a part of those scenes as the visual. Wagner's Ride of the Valkyrie, Stones' Satisfaction, Doors' The End. | |
| Movies employing music in a great way. The Big Chill started a revival of 60’s R&B music. The Blues Brothers has some performances by legends like Ray Charles, Aretha, James Brown and Cab Calloway that are iconic and with them all being gone, precious. Yes, it was a silly comedy bu... | |
| The awakening... @roxy54 I can't speak for Ami but in the original post "No more" was used as a stand alone sentence, which I think is appropriate, as in "I used to do all this stuff. No more." As in "not any more" or to put a literary spin on it "nevermore".Other... | |
| Are "listening to" or "listening with" @noromance I agree. I hear people say that if your equipment is good enough you can accommodate for poor recordings. I’m sure you can to a certain extent but it seems counterintuitive that you can transform a poor recording to the level of a fine ... | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? @fmpnd In the moderator's defense, I did not put it in quotes _and_ the post was flagged by another member who found it offensive. So it was probably a member who did not realize it was Monty Python. I am flattered that some member thought that I ... | |
| Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming Coming late to the discussion.I understand all the benefits of streaming but it sort of reminds me of vinyl in that if it doesn't sound that good to you then the answer is that you need more and better gear to get all that it offers. And, as witne... | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? @fmpnd : Did you see that one of the mods removed my John Cleese quote? Someone flagged it as an insult and the moderator removed it. I think that's hysterical.Monty Python literacy is at an all time low. Who will be lost of and forgotten next, Mo... | |
| New $24,000 inter-connect The Stig crashed one on Top Gear. Koenigsegg left the rear spoiler off for higher top speed. The Stig spun it and crashed. I thought it was very telling about the influence of that show that Koenigsegg immediately sent them another one with the sp... | |
| Who’s a good alternative to MCM electronics supply Does Parts Express fit the bill? Here is a second vote for McMaster Carr. I love doing business with them. | |
| Are "listening to" or "listening with" erik, I also sympathize with what you say about doing something professionally spoiling the joy of that subject.Two of my passions are photography and cooking. A lot of people get into those things and then want to do them as a job. That's the las... | |
| Are "listening to" or "listening with" I feel the same way. There are times when you need to listen to the equipment but that is not when I'm happy and in truth, don't find it to be much fun at all. I know for others it is part of the fun and I've got no problem with that at all. Whate... |
