| Did you hear Adele at the Grammy's? Excuses, excuses. No, a mic touching a few strings would not throw a piano's approximately 230 strings out of tune. People even do things like that deliberately, it's called "prepared piano." No, a mic doesn't change pitch. No, a real profession... | |
| Audiophile pets and their names... Named our tricolor sheltie "Black Molly". She was speedy. | |
| Best for recording records? It's an enormous amount of work to digitize records (or anything else, like tapes.) If you think about the time involved to digitize even a fraction of your collection...even a couple of thousand records is several thousand hours of work. | |
| LG OLED Paul, thanks. You inspired me to order one, which is on the way. BestBuy wouldn't match the online price I found because it wasn't one of 5 or so major retailers they recognize, so I ordered one from the company in NJ and hope for the best.Subse... | |
| LG OLED Paul, how did you get that price? That tv is still $5999.98 on the Best Buy website, never saw it on sale below that. | |
| This is what the typical consumer group considers the 5 best turntables Title should have been, "Best Cheap Entry-Level Turntables" but would still have been somewhat inaccurate.Unfortunately, turntables at this level are mostly inferior to even a cheap cd player, so any purchaser will get the wrong impression. | |
| Why do almost all women today hate home audio? Be thankful, at least if you get some peace and quiet to listen once in a while. I once had a gf who suggested that we play golf together. She seemed to miss the point that we all do some things to get away. You want to go shopping for shoes w... | |
| Gene Simmons says the rock business is dead Kiss had to compensate for their pitiful musical content with all those distractions. | |
| Your 5 Fav Rock Concerts I wish I remembered my 5 favorites...My list of favorites would include shows by John Lee Hooker, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Grateful Dead, The Who (about 1972), and an all-star Ronnie Laine benefit in Dallas c. 1981. | |
| Vintage DACs. Do they hold up over time? I'm still using my Muse Model 2. I do wonder what it would take to better it, other than a better Muse. | |
| Dolby NR encoding - did it ever work Jon said it exactly right. ( I was a taper Deadhead too, and came to the same conclusion.) You just had to live with some hiss.When you played back a live concert recorded with Dolby, you would often play it back without the decoding. The highs we... | |
| Artists that use the same song structure... +2 for Frogman. Blues consists almost entirely of 12-bar or 8-bar forms, although the older generation often ignored (or lost track of) the time count, when they felt like it ("Lightnin' strike where lightnin' want." Lightning Hopkins.) SRV achiev... | |
| Why does most new music suck? Anyone here read, "The Song Machine, Inside the Hit Factory" by John Seabrook? Apparently modern pop is created much like Muzak was. " Painstakingly crafted to tweak the brain's delight in melody, rhythm, and repetition, these songs are highly pro... | |
| What would you do? Chayro, I've practiced law for 33 years, so far. | |
| What would you do? Free legal advice is worth what you pay for it.Don't entirely agree with Chayro, because truth is an absolute defense to a libel or slander suit, and there are jurisdictional issues - they likely have to sue you in your state and county. It depend... |
