Shipping large item to London
@dill  I  have to send him this one- it was his father's and I've been saving it for him!  
What are some good things to do when going to an audition
I was going to say something funny, but @roadwhorerecords nailed it!  
LOUDEST Concert and Tinnitus
Squeeze/James at Radio City, with (dis)honorable mention to Springsteen at the United Center.  My ENT has tinnitus from being backstage at a Springsteen show.  If he cares so much about his audience, including kids and young adults, then why is it... 
Jarrett interview from a week ago
@hilde45  You are right.  I was sad about the recent passings of wayne shorter and david lindley.  Two one of a kind artists that I had been lucky to see in concert, and enjoy on recordings!  
Jarrett interview from a week ago
This was touching and sad.  Well worth watching, though I skipped through some of the longer musical passages!  
One of the great things about Vinyl
Analog is more emotionally engaging, since it's not music chopped into bits and reconstituted with jitter, ringing, etc.  Your brain doesn't have to sort it out.  Digital has gotten much better, but unless these issues are resolved on mega buck eq... 
Female vocalist recommendations
Jennifer Warnes (Famous Blue Raincoat), Sara Bareilles (don't know her albums, but stunning voice), Sade (Diamond Life), Kathleen Edwards (Asking for Flowers, Voyageur).  
Is R.E.M. underrated by new music nerds?
I think we should stay away from stating what is good, better best.  I happen to  particularly like three bands from the 1980s: U2, R.E.M., and The Smiths.  In answer to the original poster's question, I agree that the last two are less well known... 
Bought the Chord Qutest. Love it. Hate the power supply.
My recollection is that the designer chose that particular wall wart based on sound, but on the Darko you tube review, an inexpensive upgraded power supply is recommended.  
ATC SCM19 V2 Recommendations.
I'd fill the stands with dry play sand.  It will provide a less resonant foundation, and less easy to tip.  
I feel bad for Generation X and The Millennial's
The reason young people, my kids included, still listen to the great music of the 60s and 70s ("classic rock", singer songwriters, Motown/soul, blues, folk rock, etc., is that nothing has come along to replace it.  Look what's most popular- dispos... 
Patricia Barber - Cafe Blue is an effects album
Patricia Barber is a wildly talented singer, pianist and jazz artist, and Cafe Blue is an early recording of mostly original songs.  Famous Blue Raincoat is a beautiful album of Leonard Cohen songs, sung by Jennifer Warnes, who has a stunning alto... 
Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Hearing Loss
Thanks very much to everyone who replied to my post-it did make me feel a little better! To mahler123, I'm sorry to hear that you're having so many serious health conditions at 50. I'm 65, and have all the usual ailments, but didn't feel old until...
