That doesn't surprise me at all. There's so much "this guy says this is great!" stuff when it comes to audio equipment. You could spend your life reading reviews for speakers 100 people think are great but 5 people think those other people are insane. Who is right? I'm not sure I can trust the wisdom of the crowd with this stuff because maybe what works for them isn't what works for me, especially in an era where so many people are getting their music from compressed and distorted digital streaming formats. That's why I like vintage stuff and thrift shopping. I can spend pennies and maybe end up with a great set of speakers that work great for my listening space and my equipment setup. There's a great little shop out in Rochester called Audio Sound Solutions. Just a guy and his dog, surrounded by old speakers, head units, etc. When I moved in the spring I took some old floor standing speakers to him to just get rid of because one of them was worn out and I didn't have the space for them at the new place. I'm worried he's going to close some day and that'll be the end of that. Which would be too bad. I might take a trip back up there soon and see if I can't find an upgrade pair of vintage bookshelf speakers there. But I have to be able to listen to them.

Thanks. As to the bolded, ain't that the truth. Sometimes I think the mixes are done now to make them sound better on streaming services and mobile phones than on the physical album or something.

Well that's interesting. You could be right about the mixing, but man, whatever the case is, it's a bad record. I've been thinking about going the sub route. We'll see. I think my first order of business is getting some of my records cleaned up. I think I'm going to build a DIY washer. There are lots of plans out there. Do you or your buddy have any brushes or cleaning fluids you like?

Goalie purgatory is what it is. Lehner is fine until a certain price. I don't know what it would cost to keep him but I'm sure we're approaching "too expensive". I don't really want to end up worse off, so that's what you have to weigh. How much are you willing to pay to avoid going backwards.

This has been a fun game

You owe it to yourself to get a new turntable my man. Not Fragile was one of my first thrift store scores back in the day and still one of my favorites. I'm going to build a record cleaning rig so I can get some of my dirty vinyl cleaned up. This new turntable is showing me just how much a clean record means for sound quality.

Hey, you like what you like and I'll like what I like :p I know Kilroy is universally disliked. But Mr Roboto gets me every time. I loved that song when I was a kid. I have to admit, I'm annoyed with one of the newer albums I bought. It's clearly cut from a digital recording rather than analog, so the depth of sound just isn't there. I thought it was my speakers at first but it's not. The recording is just a lie.

Spinning some records tonight. I was blessed this Christmas with an unexpected gift of a Audio-Technica LP120 turntable, a significant upgrade over any turntable I've ever owned. Most of mine have been flea market rigs over the years. We had been using an old belt drive Realistic that was Josie's and quite frankly the tone arm worried me. I have some nice limited run LPs of various blues musicians that I couldn't play on it for fear of hurting them. The thrift store albums were no issue. Now I'm rocking this nice piece of equipment. Pulled my old Sony receiver out of storage and hooked Josie's old KLH bookshelf speakers up to it. The sound is tremendous even on those lil bookshelf units. They perform surprisingly well in the low end, but the higher ranges definitely run out of room. They'll do for now, but I'm going to want to upgrade. This process scares me given how picky I can get about sound and how expensive bookshelf speakers can get. I'll get some good floor standers again some day but for now I'm on limited space. This is just so much fun to do again. I love just chilling on the couch and running through albums. -The A-side of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida is so underappreciated. -BTO's Not Fragile has such a fat sound, especially the title track. -Bowie's Changes Two. -Styx's Kilroy Was Here is just as fun as ever, Mr. Roboto reminds me of a VW commercial from the late 90s. -And how about the most water-damaged Grand Funk to ever be picked out of the trash? The sleeve is a mess, but the record: oh so nice. My family has awakened a slumbering monster.

I'll stop when Bob Kraft stops

I was ignoring it because it was obviously bait and I have no time for that crap.

Anyone who has an issue with breast feeding in public is a useless chud.

You should probably start doing a watermark or something. Not that it will stop people.

Mayfield seems like a weird dude. He's by himself on the sidelines a lot.

WHAT A GAME! WOOOO

Okay Georgia. Big D. Come on.

This is great football

:lol: nice

Thaaaaat was unfortunate

Gonna come down to the wire. Highly entertaining game. Mayfield reminds me a little of Roethlisberger

Georgia is rolling. This has been fun.

Veuve Clicquot

Georgia defense has had a very good game since the first quarter

Mayfield is pretty dang good. But that whole Oklahoma team is pretty good too.

I'm annoyed and impressed. That was hilarious.
