Indispensable Tool!
@nonoise The Ayre disc intrigues me. I’m willing to spend $20 to try it, despite the cat-calls from the peanut gallery. I consider myself lucky in that a dealer friend brought over a bunch of ICs when I was first getting into audio. He just sai... 
"The Mystery Of Sound Is Mysticism"
@mahgister  Anyway we are all already enlightened but we dont know yet...We need some help ... I'd say you have talent for understatement   ;o)   RE: Gary Thomas, I have never heard didgeridoo playing like this!   
"The Mystery Of Sound Is Mysticism"
@mahgister  A mystery ask for an initiation and a transformation from the inquirer ... I don't know if this is relevant but one of my teachers used to remind me "You are not doing awakening. Awakening is doing you! "

@ho249  I don't usually care for big bands but I do enjoy that Booker 'N Brass album!   And for fans of the Griffin/Lockjaw Davis partnership, check this out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIFvEz_3FXo

Happy New Year! Explosive detonations around our neighborhood were, for a change, mercifully confined to a merely a half hour or so. Good thing, as the quantity and intensity was way up from last year. 💣

@tylermunns  Yes -- that was the interview I was thinking of. Thanks for providing the transcript (more accurate than my hazy memory) !  ;o)

@mahgister  ..Greatest creations are not so much usually channelling, as instead elevated consciousness level and communication or merging with the part of ourself more higher called the " higher self"  I suppose, for those who otherwise have ... 
"The Mystery Of Sound Is Mysticism"
@tylermunns Dylan has said he has "no idea" where his 60’s material came from. In the same interview, he implies they came from "somewhere else". Keith Richards, whom few would characterize as a "mystic", has said something to the effect that so...

@mahgister Is it not our stubborn certainty that we "know" how things are and are not that, more than anything else, gets in the way? We cannot induce or share experience with words for sure...Except in some degree with poetry.. I’m drawn to... 
"The Mystery Of Sound Is Mysticism"
@mahgister  You would be right if between a mystical experience and a perception of a plant growing seen from a scientific viewpoint there would have been no middle ground perspective nor any levels... To clarify, I was expressing my doubt reg... 
"The Mystery Of Sound Is Mysticism"
@mijostyn  Reality and mysticism are always at odds with each other. I have been told on many occasions that I have to give people "hope." I never did when there was none. Miracles only happen in fairy tales. Fairy tales are for children.  I'm...

@mahgister  My wife and I enjoyed exploring Charlevoix several years ago and hope to return there in the not-too-distant future. What a beautiful landscape!

@hilde45  Thanks for the empathy and the link.  ;o)          
Jazz for aficionados
@wharfy I have difficulty imagining Hendrix moving into harmonic territory that could accurately be described as Jazz but who knows? If I recall correctly, there was at least one session done with horns and he and Evans has spoken about a collab... 
2024 Audio System Wish List
Hopefully, I can figure out why my system is plagued by sibilance and do a better job of component matching.
