| Does anyone listen to the radio anymore? I listen to the radio on the way back and forth to work. At home? No. I live in a "bowl". Hills in every direction, no reception. | |
| What actually determines volume power? Is it watts? I run older Harmon Kardon Citation 22 amplifiers. These are pretty loud, even through my 91db JBL L100t3's. But, I always wanted a little more than the amp could provide. So, I bought another one. Switches on the back enable me to use them as mono... | |
| What compilation album from The Kinks do I want? I want to thank everybody for their input, it's appreciated. Roxy, I actually once lived in a place called Village Green! It's in Baldwinsville, NY. | |
| What compilation album from The Kinks do I want? I'll take that into serious consideration, the live album. Thanks for the heads up. I don't doubt they have a lot of good music but I want the tunes I remember from the radio for sure. Much of my music collection has specific memories to it. A lo... | |
| What compilation album from The Kinks do I want? Figured it out: The Essential Kinks Lola is a live version but I'll survive with it. Not an easy title to find in mint condition at a reasonable price but I persevered. Yes, a lot of other songs on there too that I'm sure I'll enjoy. | |
| What compilation album from The Kinks do I want? I would have to get two sets with a LOT of repetition. | |
| Package Has Disappeared in USPS System If you want it lost, ship it USPS. If you want it destroyed, ship it UPS. Every shipping service has it's own gambles. Always get insurance. Get tracking updates and save every one of them until delivery. | |
| What were your favorite gear additions in 2024? Morrow Audio SP6 speaker cables. Even in my modest vintage equipment the improvement in clarity is very noticeable. | |
| Help for me, money for you. I know nothing about streaming, don't care to. But... the equipment does have computer chips in them I'm sure. Anything with a chip, when things go awry, reboot it after unplugging for 20 minutes. Works 99% of the time. Some things have to be don... | |
| An audio component you just can't let go My Sony 32 inch CRT TV. 25 years old and works as good as the day I bought it. Perfect for watching old shows that just look better with a little pixelation. It has stereo sound so it qualifies here. | |
| Burn Twetter Speaker About 35 years ago I bought my first decent system. I was young, cranked the hell out of it. Turned it all the way up and just a tweak down when the amp red-lined. I went through tweeters in both cabinets. Paid to heave them replaced. Tech was nic... | |
| Physical degradation of CD's @ibmjunkman People will buy anything as long as it's expensive. I hate when vinyl records get magnetized! | |
| Mark Knopfler & James Taylor @larryi Thanks for that post. Never heard of a different version of that song but it sounds very interesting. I'll have to see if I can find it on CD. | |
| Mark Knopfler & James Taylor Seasons in the Sun by Terry Jacks One of those rare songs that moves me every time I hear it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mw5wdXjTgFc | |
| YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics. I have seven different hobbies. For decades, most of them have been "dying off". Funny, most are still around. Stamp collecting doesn't have the crowd it once did but most are doing just fine. As one group dies off, the next comes of age and tak... |
