I recently finished this: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/38140077-washington-black I've started reading this: https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/123163147

As far as I am aware, in stereo recordings of the album, the drums are left, piano on the right. The sax is centred (sort of). This is actually interesting, IMO, as most jazz releases of that time that were recorded in stereo have piano on the left and drums on the right. I also wondered why...

Was also looking for an L-cush pair of pads!

I've also been thinking of a modular approach. I'm going to do more homework but my initial thoughts are 5kwh hybrid inverter, one lithium battery and one or two solar panels. It's meant to be a start and to cover some basics during loadshedding e.g. TV, solid state amp and some lights. Later I...

If purchasing from one seller, then yes it would make sense. But I would probably be ordering from 2 - 4 different sellers, in which case, collating in one location and then forwarding to SA makes more sense (I think?).

Interesting thread. So I would like to purchase a few physical media titles from Discogs and Amazon (from either UK or US sellers - would have to pick one, I guess). Would you say MyUS or USGoBuy would be a good way to go? How much shipping am I in for (ballpark) if I'm bringing in say a handful...

Shaun, sorry to thread jack but I also want to know: what's the best option for adding Android Auto to an older vehicle (2007) that has a stock Audi Symphony system and stock speakers. I don't want to tinker with what's there but would rather like to augment it.

Thanks for these responses. I've learnt a lot and will ditch the cover idea and look to extend the carport to increase the shaded area. 👍🏽

Hi Forumites, I'm not referring to insurance cover here, but rather covers to drape over your vehicle to protect it from the elements. Searching online led me to two brands - Stringray and AutoKraft - but the reviews I've read are either mixed or there are too few consumer reviews and therefore...

So I've stayed out of this thread because at my age (46) I don't feel it's necessary for me to convince others of the merits of the art that I enjoy. It's hard work changing perceptions, but perhaps others find it fun or derive some sort of validation from it. Musically, I grew up on George...

It's a broad church, sure since not everyone who produces turntablist recordings or sample-based collage music considers themselves to be operating in the hip-hop tradition. DJ Shadow is vehemently hip-hop, though, and took umbrage when critics defined what he does as trip-hop. But this is often...

I am interested. Would this be a drop in replacement for the battery pictured here?

Sad news. Condolences to his family and all those who were close to him.

He will be missed around here. One of those posters whose contributions you always read or wanted to read. His knowledge, insight, and level-headedness will be especially missed. Never got to meet him in the flesh but had many interactions over text or voice call (none of late sadly). Thoughts...

A few years ago, I went on a somewhat manic DAC hunt. I listened to any and every DAC I could get my hands on and tested these in my personal system. Sad to say I was trying to fix issues in the electronics chain that were really related to room acoustics, but that's another story. In a very...

I'd like to hear from other Roon users how they've found the 1.8 update. I was rather excited about it, but have found the experience so far underwhelming. I don't think the UI/UX updates are much of an improvement on 1.7, but that's the only version I know and it might be a case of my being...

It's a pretty low threshold. It's part of building community, familiarity, and trust. Can't put a price on that, can you? I'd say "50 posts" is a reasonable rule and expectation.

You are getting old and your view is too narrow. If anything, the depth and breadth of music has increased. However, you have to look deeper. If you're dependent on what's played on radio or popular on the charts, then you're not giving modern music a fair chance. Just in the SA jazz scene alone...

Great thread. I really wish I'd had some of this advice or thought to ask for it when my wife and I bought our first place. To the OP, all the best.
