«Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato
This is in fact a golden age of great music, better imo than the 1960's. Sacrilege! Puh-leeze!  How could it ever possibly get any better than this here: "When the moon is in the Seventh House, and Jupiter aligns with Mars. . ." ?

Maybe people who listen to the radio wouldn’t listen to oldies stations if there was anything better on the new music stations. Maybe. However, although I don’t listen to the radio much at all these days, going back a few (or even several) year...

Well, if one is stuck on listening to the oldies stations, I can see how one might feel that way.

As for the 21st century, I'm hard pressed to think of anyone who deserves to be mentioned or compared to any of the above songwriters.  To name some, Steve Earle and Lucinda Williams and Michael Timmins have continued to write lyrics in to the ...

@devinplombier , that's a big +1 (or more) for Texas Love Song!  (In my opinion, for what little it's worth, that actually was an okay album.  And Taupin's lyrics were the reason I followed Elton John back then.)

Let it be known that Alice Cooper is a misunderstood musical genius.  Oh hell yes!  When Alice Cooper would get together with Sonny and Cher they would write some amazing stuff!  Incredibly inspiring material came out of that short relationship!  
Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords?
The experiment that I would most be interested the results of would be running the Romex straight of of the wall and not into a duplex outlet but instead connecting it to the female connector that connects tio a component. This would bypass the po... 
Need input on new speakers
Also, the OP is not using a low-powered tube amp and the Rotel he’s planning on using puts out 120Wpc into 8 Ohms and 200 Wpc into 4 Ohms, which is more than enough power for these speakers.  Understood, @soix , just wondering about the stateme...

I just never could get enough of Alice Cooper's lyrics.  
Need input on new speakers
@soix , I actually found those speakers on ebay before you provided the link, and I also found the review on Stereophile.  I find this excerpt from the review interesting: "With its 86dB sensitivity and 8 ohm impedance, the RM22si presented a co...
