| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? Hmmmm . . . once I bought real expensive tickets for Tom Petty and company because I wanted to see Lucinda Williams and her band who was opening for him. I thought Patty Griffin was a good opener for Lucinda and her band back in The Car Wheels da... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. . . . not really what I would call a great movie, but I found We're The Millers to be entertaining. | |
| Hearing Aids None of the top hearing aids are domestic products, so wouldn’t they be subject to the new tariffs? LOL! | |
| Movie/film suggestions. At Any Price starring Dennis Quaid as a farmer/seed salesman in the mid-west was another movie I enjoyed. The actors seemed believable in their roles of everyday people in a life-situation that went sideways. I found We Need To Talk About Kevi... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. Here are a couple of more that I enjoyed and may not be super well known. I liked them because they both portrayed a gritty story that seemed believable to me, and although there were no superstars of the acting world, I thought that the actors th... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. "Rancho Deluxe" The great Jeff Daniels.....among others Was Jeff Daniels in Rancho Deluxe? I remember when I was in my teens and growing up in Montana, Rancho and Thunderbolt And Lightfoot were both popular movies there because I think both we... | |
| Used tube preamps, Cary, AR, Aesthetix, Wells...........or? @billpete I listen in a small room and I would actually like to utilize more real estate on the volume knob.

| LoFi I am supposed to end this post by saying it’s the best audio that I ever had, that all the fancy gear I’ve since bought has never equaled the joy of that source through my Advent 3 speakers. Sorry, no effing way. Once I was able to start buying b... | |
| Used tube preamps, Cary, AR, Aesthetix, Wells...........or? Most of what I've read says that you gain 6 db in gain. Is that the only advantage or is that even an advantage? I don't find the added gain when using the balanced circuit in & out to be an advantage at all. As a matter of fact, I would ... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. his characters become him, whereas Rudd becomes the character. @grislybutter that is a pretty good synopsis. In my opinion, there are some movies that Clooney has been in where that worked well (the Clooney character, that is) but there are a... | |
| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks @knownothing , thanks for clarifying. And I didn't take anything negative from the 12/10 river of denial comment. And now that I see what you are getting at, yes, what I think I am going achieve first is running my gear straight to the wall wit... | |
