Even more fun than shooting up bad speakers!

There's something so cathartic about destruction...

...laid the groundwork for British punk. Great stuff!

Cartridge-alignment stool?

No, not what happen in the toilet: what you could sit on when aligning it?

Yeah, definitely needs something lower than the standard workdesk chair. Or a desk that raises.

Seriously: you should be able to get small plastic stools that might put your eye at cartridge level.

Lol. I feel like you could get a similar list with Oasis

As much as I like the Who, Pete is insane!

@Elnrik I guess that blowjob would get you amped up

There’s a pretty good book called Ball Lightning by Cixin Liu, who also wrote the Three Body Problem

My grandpa talked about ball lightning, said it once came in his window, bounced around the house, and went back out the window. Pretty sure he was fucking with us though, also talked about "shadow children", the moving shadows you see out of the corner of your eye

Lacking said track but a friend measured mine at 9.5 Hz How is your heart rate?

Heart rate is caffeine & alcohol dependent. Tonearm is 8 Hz (independent of fluid intake).

Working on toning down heart rate with some Italian red I fear I won’t be able to achieve 9.5 Hz before being too intoxicated to go down into the cellar to get the next bottle

Isn't the Billboard Awards all based on sales anyway? Some of my older generation friends on Facebook that were watching for Garth were all kinds of confused about Sia, lol.

Forget about Post. Also most music awards are a joke. Especially the Grammys

Also The Weeknd is good

"I’ve heard you sing [Smoke on the Water] six times, and every time it’s different ... if I changed one scintilla of expression or interpretation, I would be crucified by the critics, and the fans, because we’re not allowed to do that in opera."

I just imagined an interaction between Pavarotti and an opera chorus both asking and agreeing to have everything louder than everything else.

been seeing ads for the ginger ale as well , any feedback on that.

@bixby the ginger ale is a touch on the sweet side for my preference but is actually pretty good. Safe bet.

I’m sure somewhere online there’s a video of me playing guitar in a traditional reggae band when I was in high school. We were called “The Birds of Death”. My friends were super into pre-Rastafarian Jamaican music.

I just finished it! Thanks for sharing, it was absolutely worth the time. Excellent audio mastering!

wha?

"Imaging is apparent with a single speaker just as well. Try it" (ASR review thread).

You know it's bad when Hooncake goes WTF ;))

Add electricians to the list. Been trying to get my dedicated line installed for over six months. I’m about ready to tell my landlord his guy sucks.

Is it an excuse or a legitimate reason? That’s the question.

Our product is literally essential to keep our patients alive and our supply chain worked day and night to make sure we maintained continuity of supply. Tbh I can understand if something isn’t essential not being a priority in times like this

Our property mgr was underperforming long before Covid, then hopped on the excuse bandwagon. I kept complaining, and they fired US. Blessing in disguise :-)

That's one of my all time favorite tracks!

One of the best things about being here is discovering new music. I don't know if there's officially a genre called "Finnish jazz" ;)

Wonder what will happen when Audio Precision comes out with something that can measure sound stage.

I imagine 100 years ago harmonics or SINAD weren't well characterized and hence weren't well measured either - doesn't mean they don't exist.

Actually distortion measurement standards have been around for nearly 100 years and since the 1930s it's been understood that higher harmonics sound worse than lower, e.g.: https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/publications/rdreport_1949_30
But this is not captured in buddy's SINAD.

The guys behind the AKG K1000, AKG K240 DF and Sennheiser HD250 II Linear are still around. If those guys would release a paper on how they measure and test, it would change a lot. Remember, the crazy AKGs were a serious thing.

Seeing your post makes me nostalgic https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TMF2Qb1Ypvk

@Wilson Ha, I was living in Calgary then!

Not a big hockey fan, but I went to one of the finals games against the Islanders in '82 when I was in highschool. Might have been the last one when the Canucks lost :(

@dubharmonic kudos for dreaming big!

Lol. I dreamed about Philmarmonic BMRs literally last night. Can't remember the details, but I certainly have been thinking hard about building some recently.

I like to imagine Mark fired half the band on-stage during the dream, as was tradition.

Not cotton but would this work?

:P

Heh - possibly. Yer average cotton balls might seem like they're the same density, but stuff the same number into each cup and evil channel imbalance often results.
