Favorite Album Cover (picture or art on the cover)
@jastralfu - Thank you!   
Favorite Album Cover (picture or art on the cover)
As BassBuyer said above, how do you paste the images of these covers on here? Do you just paste the image into the text box or does something link to something?   
Favorite Album Cover (picture or art on the cover)
@bassbuyer - In my college dorm back in 1970, some art students painted the inside of the elevator doors so that when the doors closed, you got the entire cover of the first King Crimson album looking at you!! Especially fun for the psychedelicize... 
Recordings with BASS
The Move - "It Wasn't My Idea to Dance" - SERIOUS bass playing down LOW.... And you get oboes and bassoons, too!   
Merry go round
@mihorn - Personally, I'd never care about 'perfect original sound'; not being in the studio with the producer, I would have no idea what that was, and it might not sound good in my listening room. I just want something that sounds good to me with... 
MusicDirect,,
@thecarpathian + 1 - plus the reflected light off a page is easier on the eye than direct light from a screen. I'll never give up on print...

Replace tubes yearly?
@dougthebiker - thank you for your thoughts about your experience. It would take me much longer than I've got left to live to run up 4500 hours on my 300B tubes. For me, they get used perhaps 1/10 of that much.   
Replace tubes yearly?
I'd just as soon not replace my WE-300B's every year, thank you very much, unless Paul wants to gift me a pair annually. It was a silly statement if that's what he said (I'm going by the comments, not the vid), with no consideration as to how lon... 
Any Audiophiles Here Have Experience with Hearing Aids?
I've got hissy tinnitus and loss of high frequencies, and I've worn hearing aids for over 20 years; they've made such an improvement in everything, including listening to music. They won't bring back lost hearing, but they can manage to adjust the... 
Can we make major musical discoveries at age 50, 65, or 80?
@limomangus - too right - personally, I've been wearing hearing aids since I was in my 50's (I'm 73 now), but they have really improved. I can hear plenty out of a seriously good 2-channel or headphone system). They're as great a benefit for heari... 
Collectibles signed by musicians. What do you have?
I bought a John Entwistle limited print at a John Entwistle art show in San Francisco about 25 years ago that John signed for me. Also have a cardboard 3 foot by 3 foot of the cover of Genesis' 'Duke', signed by Tony, Phil, and Mike....   
Listening
When I was a whole lot younger, I'd do other things, like reading, while music was playing. I can't do that anymore. When I listen to music, I listen to music. When I read, I read. The twain shall not meet and my brain is the happier for it....   
The Real Reason Why Music Is Getting Worse!!

Is anyone here still into live concerts these days?
@drbarney1 - PA technology has gotten immensely better over the decades; Just because you've not experienced a high-quality PA does not mean they do not exist. It's an extreme, but check out the Sphere in Vegas. But some bands like the Grateful De...
