| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT Read your opening sentence that you have in all capital letters. Then add the word "NO" in even BIGGER capital letters, and make the letters BOLD for emphasis. You have your answer. | |
| Shameless Poll: Pearl vs Ohm vs Zu I would respectfully ask Santa if he could take them back and bring me a pair of La Scala, Cornwall, Klipschorn, or if I've been a VERY GOOD LITTLE BOY, a set of Jubilee speakers instead. | |
| Where are the front men? (Rant) @sls883 and @n80 I've been a member of the Riverside Fan Club since 2007 or 2008. Fantastic Prog Band from Poland founded in 2001 by Mariusz Duda (bass, vocals), Piotr Grudzinski (guitar), Piotr Kozieradzki (drums), and Jacek Melnicki (keybo... | |
| What were your top musical discoveries of 2024? @devinplombier -- I usually listen to Bohren on these two systems in my house: 1) New KLH Model 5 speakers connected to an Audio Research SP17 preamp and a McIntosh 225 amp 2) Klipsch Forte II speakers connected to a Dennis Had LP3.1 tube... | |
| Can we make major musical discoveries at age 50, 65, or 80? I'm so glad Bohren made such an impact on your musical world. I felt the same way the first time I heard them, oh so many years ago. My gosh...can it be over 25 years??? Growing up, I was weaned on 1960's and 1970's Classic Rock, Psychedelic... | |
| What were your top musical discoveries of 2024? @devinplombier Devin, I looked back in my conversation history and I can't find the thread I was looking for, but there was a thread about "Jazz Music", and I suggested the OP listen to Bohren & der Club of Gore and another member contact... | |

| question for SLP05 owners: I've never been a fan of stacking gear on top of each other, even when the pieces were made with those "foot indentations" for stacking. When I had to set gear up utilizing stacking due to space constraints, I always put a miniature fan behind th... | |
| Is anyone here still into live concerts these days? @thecarpathian -- It was awful. Just dreadful. Drinking a beer with him after the show was pure misery, I tell ya. Misery! 😆 | |
| Is anyone here still into live concerts these days? @slaw -- I've seen Trower several times, but I have to say the first was the best. He was touring "Bridge of Sighs" with several tracks that would be on "For Earth Below". James Dewar's voice and bass playing meshed perfectly with Bill Lordan's ... | |
| Is anyone here still into live concerts these days? @pvnasby -- That’s cool. I wasn’t aware filming for that movie was in Winston-Salem. The city had quite a few movies, television episodes, and commercial work done here from 1988 to the mid-2000’s, then it sadly dropped off. A lot of filming has t... | |
| Is anyone here still into live concerts these days? @pvnasby -- That's awesome! I was at that Ozric Tentacles show. They were touring their "Arboresence" album at that show. I've listened to them for years, a fantastic Prog/Psychedelic/Space Rock band. That show was October 19th, 1994. Leftove... | |
| Is anyone here still into live concerts these days? @moonwatcher -- I was devastated when Jay had to shut down the old Ziggy's. Wake Forest University used their clout with the city and screwed him over big time. All those business properties on Baity Street and Deacon Boulevard were bought up or... | |
| Is anyone here still into live concerts these days? @thecarpathian -- I saw Warren Zevon twice (1983 and 1996), and those shows rank up there in my Top 20% of live concerts. The 1996 show was my favorite. In a small club in Winston-Salem, NC, called Ziggy's with a capacity of around 500 for that ... | |
| Is anyone here still into live concerts these days? @moonwatcher -- When I saw the venues you named, I realized we must live near each other. I’m in Winston-Salem. I am at The RamKat, Cat’s Cradle, Motorco, Filmore, Neighborhood Theater, Hanger 1819, The Underground, Orange Peel, and Monstercade VE... |
