| Freedom by Beyoncé Can't answer your question but you may be hearing it often as Beyonce reportedly granted permission for its use by the Harris campaign. | |
| The (never ending) Quest For “More” @bolong "Sincerest apologies"? I have absolutely no idea where you’re coming from with that snarky comment. Perhaps you assumed I’m poor and you just had to let me (and everyone else) know that you’re not? | |
| Jazz for aficionados Sitting back in the big mission rocker with an iced coffee in my hand and the ceiling fan spinning overhead, listening to what is my idea of perfect summer music: "Sweet Rain" by Stan Getz, with Chick Corea on piano. . . | |
| Aftermarket fuse to tame a bright system? This is why, over time, I’ve gravitated to using the Cable Company’s lending library. The cables are already run in. Also, I’ve learned to never make a cable buying decision without comparing at least three different cables. My last cable purchas... | |
| The (never ending) Quest For “More” It's easy to lose track of the music if you're constantly obsessed with upgrading. Those of us who 1) are first and foremost music lovers and 2) do not have unlimited funds to devote to the hobby can aim for "good enough" and be satisfied. | |
| Happy Friday gents ... let's not forget physical exercise! | |
| Happy Friday gents I envy you, I don’t know if I will be able to relax until November and then maybe not again for the following four years You’re not alone. It’s vital in such times to find activities that bring your focus into the present moment. I find writing... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I prefer my Soul and Jazz neat, rather than blended into a cocktail but agree that V. Herring is a terrific player. One of my favorites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tn03wa67zKw&list=OLAK5uy_n2S-VDqt5glXBqlg6cVlLra0XN1zkYIo8&index=2 ... | |
| Denarips and Vinshine split I very much doubt that anyone who’s actually had dealings with Alvin would have anything remotely negative to say about him. I wish him all the best going forward. | |
| A nightmare regarding streaming? Getting a system to sound good is sufficiently challenging for me, without adding in the headache of worrying about whether I can even access the music I want to listen to! You guys have a far greater appetite for messing around with gear than I'... | |

| Jazz for aficionados https://youtu.be/0mvqYXUu9z8?si=ewMyBFTDUy2pO1CL A nice pocket bio. Clearly a player possessing incredible self-discipline. | |
| I’m confused. Please explain. But I think sounding “real” is the most basic requirement for a high end system, because I know what real sounds like, and euphonic, or pleasant to listen to, and not irritating, is a close second. You make an important distinction. The point I... | |
| I’m confused. Please explain. I own a very nice hand-built "boutique" acoustic guitar. It sounds wonderful -- the best by far of the many acoustic and electric guitars I’ve owned in 50 years of playing. So, it goes without saying that, when I’m listening music, I’m stringentl... | |
| Differences between Harbeth, Spendor, Graham, etc. ? @arafiq ...but at the end of the day, while they wowed me they did not engage me emotionally. Emotional and physical engagement are topmost priorities for me. Have you owned any of the smaller Harbeths? |
