| Presidents Day HiFi sales @carlsbad2 - don't online hifi retailers have sales? I sure get enough emails from ones that do! | |
| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? @jimijam - Camel is great, yeah? They played 3 nights here in San Francisco on the 'Moonmadness' tour, 2 shows per night, and I went to all 6! | |
| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? @richmon - did you happen to see Pink Floyd at the Spectrum Theater in March of '73? I was at that one.... | |
| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? @bassbuyer - when I first moved to San Francisco in 1973, I went to a show at Winterland with Wishbone Ash headlining, I think. The first band came on, who I never heard of before, and they tore the roof off the sucker. Montrose. I had friends in ... | |
| A great singer you may have never heard, or even heard of. Moon Martin - that's a name I've not heard in many a decade; totally forgot about him. | |
| "...and I don't take any advertiser money..." They certainly can and many of them I watch do just that. | |
| A great singer you may have never heard, or even heard of. I saw him open for Rockpile and Elvis Costello at Winterland in San Francisco and got a few photos of him. He's very good for that sort of thing, just not my preferred style. | |
| Hearing Aids @troutbum - I'm currently using the latest Jabra hearing aids from Costco; they were about $1500/pair, plus another $60 or so for custom earmolds. I'm quite happy with them as far as ease of use and sound. | |
| Hearing Aids @mahler123 - that's not a bad idea about a Zoom consultation. More than a few audiologists are musicians themselves and understand more 'audiophile' needs. As far as hearing aids being designed only for speech, for most hearing aids, that is ju... | |
| Hearing Aids Another thing I'd add is I don't use any kind of 'buds' (besides what goes in my bong!), but I do get custom-molds instead of using the generic domes; only cost about $60 more and well worth it. @mahler123 - not all Costcos are the same, as you'... | |
| Hearing Aids I've worn hearing aids for over 20 years, and had gotten used to spending $8K every 4 years or so for a new set. Last year I heard about the Costco hearing aid department, so I checked it out and got a pair of Jabra hearing aids for $1500; these a... | |
| physiology and psychology of hearing @mihorn - so you're saying it's physically impossible for a woman to be an 'audiophile'? I wouldn't think they were mutually exclusive, but that's just me. | |
| Dumb question......why do you need a preamp? Some people prefer separates, some people prefer integrated. No hard and fast rule. | |
| New UHQR recordings VS the 8 produced in the early 80's. Are the new releases as good? If you've never heard these 45 rpm vinyl recordings, try to find one at a good price and give yourself a treat. I've got about 6 of them, most recently a couple of Genesis ones (they're not UHQR but are double 45's) and also the Aja UHQR one. That... | |
| Did you ever hear of Karl Jenkins? I know him from Soft Machine.... |
