I'll share: ---Lyle Lovett: If I Had a Boat ---Radiohead: Subterranean Homesick Alien ---Kraftwerk: Tour de France I agree most Pink Floyd is well recorded but unfortunately not (IMHO) their best... | |
| Ripping CD's to hard drive Absolutely do NOT rip your CDs into MP3 or any other lossy format. That is a complete waste of your time relative to the cost of storage, unless you get paid at 1950s minimum wage. This is not a knock on anyone would listens to MP3s. But as a... | |
| A SHOCKING DISCOVERY ABOUT DIGITAL AUDIO At least try to be coherent when spouting nonsense. | |
| Beatles vs. Stones Yes to both. | |
| Why Are We Breaking Our Brains? Well, one big difference between wine and audio is that the chemical composition provably differs from one wine or vintage to the next, whereas the composition of an audio signal, pre-speaker, is electrical and it does not vary based on the multit... | |
| OMG - Room Acoustics are Critical - WAF be dam-ed!. that is a great idea for my Maggie 1.7is but I do not want to push my luck! They are already 2.7feet from the back wall and sound amazing. Just FYI, you will benefit from more distance from the back wall. If not possible, it's not. I have a ... | |

| Network optimization for serious streamers I’d say that applies to both sides here. Maybe not everyone on either side. But both sides have their shouters. | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers Sad that people cannot converse civilly. I tried to bridge the gap here: | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers With all due respect for my fellow music lovers, and not wanting to start (or perpetuate) a fight, I do feel that a balanced discussion is better than an echo chamber. In that vein, I am quite confident that most of what is discussed here is a com... | |
| Ultimate stereo nightmare Agree with the above. Progressively switching cables from channel to channel is the way to troubleshoot a problem like this. | |
| Why is it that every time, lately, that I'm interested in a thread... Snowflakes view "If you don't agree with me, you are intolerant! You should be censored, deleted, banned, fed to the hogs'" Conservative view " Eh, no skin off my ass. Next. " There are plenty of conservatives that are just as testy about what... | |
| patricia barber - diana krall - holly cole They would probably tear at each other’s clothes, like Lucy & Ethel I can’t leave this unaddressed. If this refers to the famous wine-making scene, the other woman wasn’t Ethel, it was an Italian woman. That said, I'd watch it. |
