| What is it I'm failing to grasp? Someone said above that recordings are capturing live event (or presumably trying to recreate live events). Unless you listen to classical music and the rare Jazz or Pop/Rock album, most recordings are designed to NOT be a recording of a live eve... | |
| Improving Comcast modem signal @chungjh In general, Verizon’s FIOS speeds, latency and packet loss are not affected by what your neighbors are doing on their internet unlike the network at Comcast. But before you go crazy changing things, keep in mind the design of Ethernet an... | |
| Improving Comcast modem signal "Verizon is now pushing a white cubed wireless 5G device to feed signals to everything with no cables at all." They've had this for probably two years, although as you say, they've been pushing fixed 5G signals lately. If you can get Verizon fib... | |
| Neil Young calls out Tidal None of this thrashing by Young made any sense until I saw he was touring this summer. Then it all become clear. I won't give him career advice because he's already made a fortune, but simply note that he's playing to an every shrinking and dyi... | |
| Dr. Johnny Fever from WKRP in Cincinnati has signed off :-( The infamous "turkey drop" episode in WKRP was actually followed by something similar in Cleveland in the early 80's (I happened to be visiting there at the time). It as either inspired by the turkey show or in spite of the turkey show. To celeb... | |
| Michael Aday (Metloaf) has passed away. I remember that album being out when I was in college, not my cup of tea, but everybody had that cassette tape of that album in their car. Paradise by dashboard lights is a memorable song. In a way, it's amazing that he survived as long as he di... | |

| RE: the question: ":Why do forum interactions become contentious". . . When people don't have a lot going on in their lives they tend to focus on tiny minuscule things in life. A lot of the strife in the country right now is caused because people have too much time on their hands due to many factors that you all k... | |
| Poor Customer Service The thing is, even if you're swamped, and can't get good help, it's trivial to auto-respond to say something like this:"Thank you for your email, we are currently 1-3 days behind in email, we appreciate your patience and we'll get back to you at ... | |
| How long does Class A have? We need more Greta ThunbergsWe get too much useless hot air from politicians and political commentators as it is. | |
| Chip shortages, who is hurting, who isn't? I agree. Everything requires computer chips these days.Car companies and dealers are getting crushed. In many areas lots are empty, even with dealers asking full list price plus markup. Interestingly video cards for PCs have been largely una... | |
| Favorite obsolete formats..... Elcaset. The convenience of cassettes with the sound of reel to reel.I couldn't afford one at the time, and now I can't think why I'd want one. | |
| How much are AR AR3's worth these days? If they are in the condition you claim, don’t touch them, just put them up for bid on an auction site. Sell them as-is. If you try to improve them as as a hobbyist, you’ll reduce the value in the eyes of collectors who will pay top price for the c... |
