Beatles vs. Stones
Just watching the 3 hour (?) documentary Get Back.  Going to take a few evenings to get through it.  Billy Preston just joined them in the studio.  For anyone who hasn't seen it yet, I highly recommend you spend some time with it.  Fascinating to ... 
Beatles vs. Stones
@larsman Spend a penny means to go to the toilet, especially a public toilet. One usually is said to be going to spend a penny. The expression is derived from the fact that public toilets were installed in the United Kingdom in the mid-1800s that ... 
Psychologist dissects Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon'
Didn't know about this until this morning.  Love the reviewers comments towards the end.    
Psychologist dissects Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon'
@clearthinker  You have to be kidding.  They're not even in the same league as RUSH, when it comes to worst band in the world.  🤣  
Beatles vs. Stones
@larsman Ha Ha. the British have so many sayings that are not understood this side of the pond.  I'm guessing you would also miss the reference to "spend a penny"?  With Taxman, Harrison also references then Prime Minister Harold Wilson and Conser... 
Beatles vs. Stones
@curtdr  Of course it's all personal taste when it comes to music, but I never understood why the "critics" continue to list Revolver as the greatest (or in the top 3) pop/rock LPs of all time.  I will admit that Taxman could be the greatest polit... 
Beatles vs. Stones
There seems to be a common thread to a lot of postings, being the "older" music is better music, citing The Everly Brothers, early Beach boys etc.... as being the real creative stuff.  I would submit that this is pure nonsense and just a bad case ... 
Beatles vs. Stones
And that's what I love about this site.  A simple question was asked and @bdp24 decided a short novella was called for, but kind of forget to answer the question. 🤣  I shouted out who killed the Kennedys, well after all, it was you and me.      
Psychologist dissects Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon'
@czarivey Yup.  My wife & I went to see Waters in concert a few months ago.  Went home after half the show.  If I had wanted a lecture with bad political views, I could have got it for free on the internet.  They had a good run but Waters shou... 
Psychologist dissects Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon'
I always find it laughable when others try to read into a song, what they are sure the artist was trying to say.  You can take almost any and every Pink Floyd song and find a way to see Waters was referencing Syd.  And sometimes a Cigar is just a ... 
Beatles vs. Stones
While I love them both, and they are the soundtrack of my youth, the Glimmer Twins get more time on my system.  There is no denying the genius of Lennon/McCartney as songwriters but the Stones have an edge to their music their Beatles could not ma...

I'm waiting for ASR's full review with measurements !  🤣  
How hot is hot when moving from class a/b to to a or tubes?
@mpoll1  I have been running two 50 watt tube mono blocks.  See my virtual system to get an idea of the size.  To answer your questions. Ready to play as soon as I turn them on.  No great warm up period required.   After they have been running f... 
Bi-Wiring
Well, it's not the first time we have been told it's more marketing than reality.  Paul at PS audio sheds a little light on why bi-wire may have been a thing at one time.      
Speaker Cable Recommendations - Under 2k
@mihorn In the future, I would think it appropriate for all of your posts to begin with the clear disclosure "I HAVE A VESTED FINANCIAL INTEREST IN THE PRODUCTS I AM RECOMMENDING"  I have no problem with anyone joining forums looking for business,...
