Tune of the Day
Electric Light Orchestra,   Tightrope.     
Magnepans and dogs
My main listening room was the family room and has a couch as the only sitting space in the room.  Most nights, I have a dog on either side of me, but they are definitely sleeping. 🐾🐾  
Redundant Internet
My wife has  a hotspot from T Mobile and we’ve used it more than a few times for home internet, plus, both of our cellphones have hot spot as well.  Neither are the fastest, but they get the job done in a pinch.  
At what price is one considered an Audiophile.

You all do yourselves a favor and Don’t get the Dark Side Of The Moon Redux!  It’s beyond bad! I read a review calling it Blasphemy to the original DSOTM and I have to agree.   I wish someone would have warned me.

@frogman and all, Does anyone know what happened to the Documentary?  I for one would be interested in seeing it.

@stereo5  Oh man , I think you may have understated just how putrid Redux is! Roger Waters, “DSOTM Redux.”   Let me save you time and money, biggest pile of dog crap!  What Roger did to this masterpiece is pure blasphemy.  I really couldn’t a...
