| Movie/film suggestions. I’ve been watching quite a bit of the retrial as it has been live-streamed, @gano , and Judge Cannone does seem to be prosecution friendly. At least going by the number of objections for each side that she sustains and over rules. But with that ... | |
| Encouraging people to consider a traditional 2 channel stereo system. Just what our youth need more of……another isolated and sedimentary hobby. Sedimentary? Sedentary maybe? | |
| Collectibles signed by musicians. What do you have? Never been an autograph or memorabilia collector, but I do still have my right hand which shook Bob Dylan's at the old New Haven Arena in 1966 when I was 17yrs old. I remember a long time ago once after shaking hands with Margo Timmins of The C... | |
| How close are you to being to your endgame? My system outline and I'm almost there. I am at least a million miles away from what I would consider my theoretical end game. But, as they say, "It is what it is," and I am afraid that is what it is going to be, meaning that I will never own the end game I desire. But, with that type... | |
| the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile I don't know that there was one product that did it. I've always liked music, but mostly it used to be for (long ago, background at parties or getting high) or later in life when I was doing other tasks. When I got into Dolby Prologic, someone t... | |
| Does cover art of an album or recording influences your purchase? A long time ago I used to think that the Charlie Daniels Band/Fire On The Mountain album cover was attractive. But that is not the reason I bought it. | |
| Happiness is... Going way back, I used to live like I had a death wish, and although I didn't (have a death wish), I am surprised that I didn't screw up and actually do something that wound up killing me. Therefore, I guess happiness is: looking back on the years... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. Thank you for your kind words, @gano ; "very intelligent" is no doubt a stretch, but I am sure "strange" may be appropriate. Back to The Brutalist quickly: generally if a movie starts to bore me and does not develop into something that is going ... | |
| Any modern rock recommendations? I am definitely going to check out Ronnie Winter and his band. | |
| Movie/film suggestions. . . . after reading your response/reaction, @gano , I engaged in further thought and I still cannot explain why I didn't mind watching The Brutalist. I guess it struck me the way I imagine some old Russian novel would . . . twisting and dangling ... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. @gano , I do not know why I was drawn into The Brutalist . . . but I was. (I was surprised that AI told me that it was not based on fact, thanks for clearing that up.) As far as DeNiro goes, I think he has gotten better with age, and I’d say the ... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. I was looking for any other Adrien Brody movies that I thought might be interesting, and of course the star studded The Thin Red Line (1998) came up, but the one I thought was more thought provoking was Detachment (2011) with a cast that also incl... | |
| Does cover art of an album or recording influences your purchase? One of my all time favorites, Bruce Springsteen’s Born in the U.S.A…. that iconic image of denim, a ball cap, and the flag. At first glance, it looks patriotic. But paired with the music, it reveals something deeper: working-class struggle, prid... | |
| Battle of the affordables Especially considering the price range OP has laid out: from 2.1k to 7k. There are others at these price point but these are the one I could find where there are favorable reviews on the web. Right. I understand that. If you don't have br... | |
| Battle of the affordables "affordable" is a loaded term. I would have preferred the phrase "less than stratospheric." +1 @nonamesleft4me . Especially considering the price range OP has laid out: from 2.1k to 7k. |
