| Reaction to possibly the best live rock performance I've heard. Grand Funk I'm 73, and yes, Grand Funk sure were a big band for awhile and they had some good songs, but I'm not sure about the 'standing the test of time' thing. I saw them once around '71 or '72 and this was back in the days of loud, distorted PA's, and my... | |
| HAVE CABLES EVER TAKEN YOUR SYSTEM FROM SOUNDING JUST OK TO SOUNDING GREAT? Experiences ? I believe in cable quality making a difference, but no, none has made that kind of impact for me. | |
| Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable? @carlsbad2 + 1 | |
| The Real Reason Why Music Is Getting Worse!! I'm 73 and I disagree with Beato pretty much all the time when he's whining about how 'his music' just isn't relevant to 'the kids' anymore. He sounds like people of my parents' generation moaning about the Beatles and and that new rock and roll ... | |
| Can we make major musical discoveries at age 50, 65, or 80? @grislybutter - interesting, I've never heard that saying before, but it sure does not apply to me or any of my friends.... Quite the opposite, for us.... | |
| What would you save in a fire? The black and white negatives and color slides I took as a concert photographer during the 70's.... | |
| Where are the front men? (Rant) @simao + 1, but I wouldn't say it IS fading away, I'd say it HAS faded away - still there, of course, but it's not been the predominant genre for decades. Time marches on, as do musical styles and trends. | |
| Can we make major musical discoveries at age 50, 65, or 80? Good question. Absolutely one can - my favorite musical artist of all time is a woman named Kristeen Young, who I never even heard of before 2018, though she's made 11 albums since 1997 (David Bowie duetted with her on a song in 2003, which I read... | |
| HumminGuru vs.Degritter @dogberry - Thanks for the correction - Is that the newer model of Humminguru? I thought the original one you had to let air dry after it did the washing, but I could be mistaken. | |
| HumminGuru vs.Degritter A lot would depend on whether you want the machine to do the drying for you as well; DeGritter will, Humminguru won't. I like the machine to do the drying, so I've been very happy with my DeGritter which I've had pretty much since the first ones c... | |
| **The Official/Un Official Audiogon Audiophile Streaming Speaker List** I've got Cabasse Rialto's and use them on my desktop; I am very happy with them.... | |
| Favorite scream in rock? Nobody screams/sings like Eric Adams - no, not the NY Mayor, but the singer in Manowar over the past 4 decades or so.... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @bdp24 - yeah, Mississippi Studios is great venue and environment; saw Stan Ridgway up there about 20 or so years ago... | |
| Anyone read this NYT story about analog audio bars? I'm looking forward to audiophile cannabis lounges.... | |
| Package Has Disappeared in USPS System I've had good luck with USPS until a few weeks ago when I sent a poster tube with some prints to somebody across the country. It hadn't shown up a few weeks later and the customer checked the tracking number and it showed it was still in the post ... |
