| How to improve Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill?" +1 @teo_audio!Especially considering the song's subject | |
| How to improve Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill?" It's such a haunting tune. That reverb and overdubbing and echoes everywhere are absolutely effervescent. I can think of very few other late night driving tunes than this one. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Amazon Prime - Bombay Bicycle Club -- So Long, See You TomorrowWith a USB-C to HDMI adapter, I can stream anything on my phone to my Oppo and then to my Pathos. Sweet! Still doesn't sound as full and rich as my analog set-up, but anyway... | |
| Sales or clearances happening now Get over your persecution complex, millercarbon. For as much as you kvetch about stuff, the "mini-Maos" let you get away with a lot of sociopathic crud. | |

| The Orb......Metallic Spheres The Orb's Adventures beyond the Ultraworld was a game changer for me back in the 90's. Opened the door to Underworld, Roald Velden, and others. | |

| How will the COVID-19 pandemic affect sites like Audiogon? @jetter "Otherwise a lot of us would have deep 6'd our stock holdings" You mean like Senators Loeffler and Burk, right? As for this site, I think it'll do fine. If it could weather the immediate post-9/11 and the 2008 recession, it should pull ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? A friend lent me several LPs, including Van Halens first. Not a huge fan, but gave it a spin. Roth's voice was beautifully recorded. The rest of the instruments and the mix itself was underwhelming. | |
