| Do you trust your system? Very well said, @dain ! | |
| Ian McDonald of King Crimson and Foreigner dies at 75 RIP I didn't realize he had anything to do with Foreigner - I guess the only member of the band I ever thought of was Mick Jones (not the Clash's Mick Jones).... RIP indeed... | |
| Roger Miller anyone? I don't love his music but I don't think it's crap, either. I always enjoyed him when I was a lot younger; haven't even thought about him in decades. | |
| Why dealers disparage certain products? Totally agree with rule #1 by OP.... | |
| Do you trust your system? @steakster - As somebody who has worked in the record business for a number of years, one thing I can tell you is that with very few exceptions, the last people who care about how anything sounds are record label executives! That being said, ther... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? @mglik - Alas, I've been watching it all develop over the past 6 or 7 years with a sense of 'deja vu all over again'. I guess 'instructive lessons of history' can go both ways. 😕 Thanks for the tip on Kendrick's 'Damn'! | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! Blue Oyster Cult are one of my favorite bands of all time - been following them since 1972! Intelligent hard rock; not a common thing... | |
| T+A Made in Germany @ghdprentice - I don't doubt at all your experience with Chinese food in China. Here in San Francisco, we have restaurants that serve Chinese dishes from many different provinces of China - Hunan, Szechuan, Hakka, and at least 5 or 6 others. Very ... | |

| Is Rap a valid musical form? @mglik + 1 Just finished re-reading 'Rise and Fall of the Third Reich', in fact.... | |
| What a pile of Schiit @borat-sagdiyev - Well, to ME it was 'greatly' - can't swear it will be for you! To me, what it mostly improved was the '3-D, holographic' aspects of the sound, especially through Utopia headphones. I don't need the utmost detail; that's why I lik... | |
| Buying refurbished gear.... I don't know about Accessories4Less, but I have bought a number of 'refurbished' items and I've not had any problems with any of them. They often come with warranties as well.... | |
| What a pile of Schiit @borat-sagdiyev - I had a Lyr 3, and I upgraded the tube with another that was not very expensive, and it improved the sound significantly. So you might want to try a few as long as you don't have to fork out too much. Very good amp and good valu... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? Protest songs in the 60's, punk rock in the 70's, hip-hop in the 80's and beyond - music has always addressed negative social circumstances; it's a great way of reaching a lot of people.... |
