Tune of the Day
Savoy Brown, “Hellbound Train”....the cd I have, unfortunately cuts off the end of the tune, when the ghostly train roars past. 
Child Damage Mitigation
When my wife decided she wanted a cat, I bought a couple plastic lenses designed to be used on a 4 ft. fluorescent light fixture.  They are translucent and pretty thin, maybe 1/32 inch, strong but very flexible.  When I'm not listening, I bend the... 
How do you sort your LPs?
Two divisions...classical and everything else.Classical is then alphabetical by composer.  Then sub-divided, symphonies, concerti, ensemble and then solo performances by instrument.Everything else is alphabetical by artist.  Then sub-divided oldes... 
How to greatly appreciate AudiogoN....
A fine audio system, great guitars, a beautiful piano, a couple Celesteon telescopes and I do woodworking in the garage.  Looks like I’m quite a dweeb...but I do appreciate quality.

Tune of the Day

Electrical/mechanical representation of instruments and space
Thank you for the very helpful comments.  Here's what I distill from the comments.  The graph of a waveform with axes of frequency and amplitude can describe a sound, but it's the changes in the waveform over time that provide meaning to the sound... 
Electrical/mechanical representation of instruments and space
Still thinking about this.  Let me give another example.  Like a synthesizer, you could combine a series of pure, sinusoidal, tones in a particular combination of fundamental and overtones with varying amplitudes and fine-tune it until it sounds l... 
Most annoying song, period.
What, nobody has mentioned “Patches”?  Who the hell thought it was a good idea to set those awful lyrics to that awful music?And “Leader of the Pack” and all of the songs about guys who take a girl to the prom only to learn that she has been dead ... 
Anybody have experience with Bavsound?
Thanks mcreyn. 
RMAF 2019 Arrival
Mildly disappointed to hear Audio Research’s top gear, paired with some huge Sonus Fabers.  I hadn’t seen this model before, six feet tall and obviously hundreds of pounds, like Amaris after some years of steroids.  The system was tucked to the si...
