| Lack of Female Representation Why aren't there more men in quilting or decoupage or needlepoint? | |
| What was the first CD with great drums?? Maybe Billy Cobham on Paul Winters 1973 Icarus album | |
| Confession: I only like Norah Jones because so many others told me to @noromance great call on that Rhiannon Giddens album | |
| RIP Glenn Croft Like lfd, his products were always wonderfully made and completely underrated. He managed to capture that British sound perfectly. And yes, that's hard to describe, but it makes sense once you listen to his stuff. | |
| I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s. Just had an article pop up in my pocket feed about "the 40 most important guitar solos of the 20th century". My first thought after dismissing it as Boomer clickbait was simply, who gives a crap? The guitar solo itself is an antiquated musical con... | |
| Turntable purchase advice sought @boothroyd @lewm Cool. Thanks again. I removed an RCA breakout box from my VPI several years ago so am comfortable doing that in reverse. You have helped me be more comfortable with my decision. One last thing :) For the $1K price and with every... | |
| Turntable purchase advice sought @boothroyd Thank you for the advice. My one last hesitation is that it has fixed RCA cables coming from the tonearm. Assuming I keep that tonearm for the time being means I'm stuck with whatever quality those output cables have. Should this be a c... | |

| Music for 2022- Is It Just Me Or?.. I'll browse Tidals genre new releases every week to see what's out there. Kind of like the old Borders listening stations. There's as much good stuff out there as anytime before. There's also just as much crap. | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV $6K is enough money to that I would be suddenly single if I actually spent it. And yes, @chuke076 , if I did ever drop this much on speakers, I would expect to fart around with toe-in and sucb but not actually modify any hardware. Then again, for ... | |
| Hotel California sounds good on the radio. I suspect those recordings were recorded and mixed for home systems because back in that day most cars only had AM radio. The idea of recording for radio really came about in the 80s with the Advent of commuting and FM radio widespread. | |
| I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s. Brings to mind that wonderful line from Keenan Thompon on SNL, mocking grumbling Boomers and their whiny Millenial children: "I’m Gen X. I just sit on the sidelines and watch the world burn.” | |
| Confession: I only like Norah Jones because so many others told me to Fun little story: I once made Norah Jones cry when she was, like, four or five years old. My great aunt was a music producer and founder of Angel records and was having a get together at her apartment in New York city. My mom and I were there and ... | |
| Best Amps for Magneplanar 1.7i Speakers Yes, +1 on Bryston and Hegel. I had Maggie 3,6r for several years and drove them with a beautiful ARC VS-110. Plenty of tube power for those big beasts. | |
