| Stephen Stills @ghasley I guess we will just agree to disagree on this one my friend. I do agree with @mwinkc that "4 and 20" is a hauntingly beautiful song and that still gives me a little chill each time I listen to it, all these years later. | |
| Stephen Stills @roxy54 @hickamore I'll handicap Neil and say let's just take the Albums Harvest and Freedom. I believe they were both voted Album of the year a decade apart? I don't think, again IMHO, that SS wrote that many classic songs in his entire career... | |

| NEAR Speakers Indentification @mikekeiper11 some pictures might help? | |

| Ticketmaster and other enemies of artists... Since Ticket Master merged with Lived Nation back in 2010 (?) they now control 70% of all live event ticket sales. Lyle Lovett is coming to my city and playing at a 2000 seat venue. Tickets anywhere on the main floor are selling at Ticketmaster... | |
| Qobuz made available in Canada today Thanks a lot, eh. 🤣 | |
| Could these be your next cable loom??...and price be damned. They use the term "infinite crystal" which sounds an awful lot like OCC. A rose by any other name........... | |
| Could these be your next cable loom??...and price be damned. I was just about to put in my order, when I noticed the "k". Damn!!! | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? In discussions with a retailer I respect, and talking about Focal speakers, he told be the mark-up was 100% at every step. Focal Sopra 2 cost $6500 to build. His cost from Focal was $13,000. His list price (CDN) was $26,000. Expected discount ... |
