| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @mahgister I don't think that young people right now are into jazz... It would seem implausible. Nobody has done a recent study on the subject, and I doubt it is a pressing matter for anyone at this point, so I would say that you just may be ... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @mahgister I like the idea of providing proof (works cited) to back up an opinion with facts as you have done. It's what you learn in college when you take breaks from binge drinking. To be fair, however, much of the information you shared is so... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato Beato also opines that there is no actual artistic engagement in mainstream pop/rock/country. For my birthday in October, my wife gifted me Post Malone's F-1 Trillion album. After listening for a day, I immediately traded/sold it. All the hooks... | |
| Favorite scream in rock? Pink Floyd. Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2. ...said to be influential in the development of Roger Water political philosophy.. fairly innocuous at the time, but Roger would continue to become obsessed with his political philosophies..as anyo... | |
| The last 20 years of Home Power Have Been Amazing @carlsbad2 While diaphragm gas meters are commonplace, your gas company should be actively looking to replace them as smart meters provide remote billing and can detect leaks. Kind of a thing nowadays ensure a house doesn't blow up! There is ev... | |
| The last 20 years of Home Power Have Been Amazing @bigtwin My brother is building a new home and I have volunteered to plan the basement bar and sound system, something that I did in 2011 when my home was built. In retrospect, I neglected to run dedicated lines - something I intend to fix in t... | |
| Is anyone here still into live concerts these days? @moonwatcher "To show the disconnect at large shows, some YouTubers recorded some of the songs as presented in commercials or videos from Taylor Swift’s recent live tour. They found that on most of the songs, she wasn’t even singing live. They we... | |
| Top 10 Live Albums I have noticed a bevy of new "live" titles recently released that were recorded by radio stations or are otherwise far from audiophile quality. A slew of Van Halen concerts releases come to mind. One needs to be careful when perusing at your local... | |

| Added a Schiit Freya+ to a Sansui 8080 Rich is correct in his assessment. Placing a current day preamp in front of a vintage integrated is problematic. I would point out that the Freya+ has a signal to noise ratio of around 100 db (very good for a preamp), while the Sansui is around 80... | |

| The HARD ROCK & HEAVY METAL Thread Continued Knebworth, in England, in 1985 included UFO, Meatloaf, Scorpions with headliner, Deep Purple. All hard rock bands, with exception of Meatloaf. Deep Purple had 2 sets of tower speakers (array) off stage - in the crowd- and during certain songs move... | |
| McIntosh MC611 vs Parasound JC5 I have been mulling mono blocks over my current class D amp as winter creeps in and my basement listening room requires some heat. The JC5 - an amplifier that is engineered as "dual mono" but can be bridged to feed one speaker seems a bit redunda... | |
| Bose buys McIntosh @bondmanp The best mfg car stereo I had was an Infinity labeled system in a Chrysler Sebring. I believe what made it sound so good was the room - er, interior. A soft top lowered the noise from bouncing around, and when the rag top was down, the... | |
| Bose buys McIntosh There is little doubt that Bose will use their stellar product management team to find ways to reduce the prices of McIntosh gear. Bose currently uses China, Malaysia, and Mexico to manufacture parts and using parts made abroad to utilize in McI... |
