    Grimes on Gemini

    Not to engage in the stupidity that is the current kerfuffle, but she touches on an interesting point re the changing nature of art appreciation (though I don’t share the somewhat nihilistic mood underlying the commentary). <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">I am...

    Marantz CD50n

    Perhaps this question is for commercial members, but does anyone know if/when this will land here and indicative retail price?

    Mozart reincarnated (among other geniuses)

    The Alma interview reminded me of a discussion I once had with the late Tony Schilder where he explained to me that he didn't learn how to play but, since he can remember, he always just knew how to play.

    Interesting TV from LG.

    Thought audiophiles can be a bit nutty?

    This article from the New York Times makes 'em seem relatively sane. From the write up: Mr. Kondo is one of thousands of people in Japan who have entered into unofficial marriages with fictional characters in recent decades, served by a vast industry aimed at satisfying the every whim of a...

    Tired of Wordle but looking to kill ten minutes?

    Then have some fun with the data viz in this Economist article about the "decline of English" in global streaming on Spotify. Seems that in SA, US hits dominate; although, in the last few weeks local tracks took the top spot. Do the Portuguese not rate Brazilian music?

    Don't be embarrassed by that Kenny G CD in your collection

    This weeks Econtalk podcast discusses the recently released documentary about the much loved (or hated) G man. I probably will not be watching the doccie, but I did enjoy the above discussion. There's much else of interest in the podcast as well, including points tangential to Ted Gioia's...

    12 Predictions for the future of music

    I've long enjoyed Ted Gioia's 'takes' on the music industry and thought I'd drop this here for those forumites who, like me, find this sort of thing entertaining. https://tedgioia.substack.com/p/12-predictions-for-the-future-of A few comments: 1. Some of these 'predictions' are existing...

    End-game system

    Who has theirs? Specifically when it comes to speakers and amplification (I expect digital sources to be more fluid for the foreseeable future). If you've reached the end-game, please share with us how you arrived there - i.e., went through mountains of gear before settling; took...

    UAP report a nothing burger

    https://www.dni.gov/files/ODNI/documents/assessments/Prelimary-Assessment-UAP-20210625.pdf Not that I was expecting the report to confirm any of the myriad conspiracy theories out there. Still, I was hoping for more. More of what? I don't know really. Maybe Luis Elizondo's predictions will...

    Is MQA worth the bother?

    The format seems to have been controversial since inception. This video is quite damning of both the format and Tidal as a streaming service. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pRjsu9-Vznc

    Multiple subs

    Does anyone on the forum have experience with implementing multiple subs? What are the does and don'ts when it comes to having two subs? For instance, is it ok to have different types of subs? I have a ported 10inch (SVS PB1000). Does it make sense to complement this with, say, a sealed 12 inch...
