    I like that one as a classic best. My favorite somewhat more modern one is Adele's Skyfall...but maybe that's because I'm a Gordon and I love the setting of that movie.

    I concur...Late 2022 to make sure I had near the last of the classic. Machine Gray with Terracotta Interior.

    As a mechanical/structural engineer the bumper sticker states "Short Members are Stiffer". And it is true that not designs are based on strength and stress levels. Coefficients of elasticity and deflection are key design criteria. Sorry, now I have to take a few days to disassemble my last...

    42 as well with Mrs. G., this July. Using a Node 2i to an outboard DAC since 2018. I only use it for my main system. Other rooms are Sonos. I like the Bluesound controls from my iMac Pro and iPad Pro. I'm not in an upgrade mode currently although I keep eyeing a Yggdrasil or future Gungnir...

    Huge fan too! My wife and I took my parents to a live performance at The Triple Door in Seattle. Dinner theatre style. Good food, drinks, and great music. I think his son played also that night. Fantastic show. Just a few years before his passing…

    Interesting that you mention Caroline Polachek. I really enjoyed streaming her album 'Desire, I Want to Turn Into You', so much that I bought in in both CD and vinyl. Both formats sound great through URD and Mani 2 to Freya S & Dual Vidar chain!. Cheers! - (with a shot of Woodford Reserve)...

    I’m sure both options would work for you. I ended up with the KEF KC62 and love it. I use it with the KEF LS50 Metas and my Magnepan LRSs. I’ve had subs from Paradigm, REL, and now the KEF. Once I get a sub set up I rarely touch the settings but I can’t deny the app option might be fun...

    That's a serious piece of kit there with the Linn pair! Thanks for the music recs also. My Scottish heritage as a Gordon peaks my interest for the speakers, my pocketbook does not allow based on current priorities. Maybe if I didn't buy that Miata last year... Beautiful for sure!

    As a former (& proud) engineer @ Boeing for 40 years, let me guess...Embraer? I have to say, they are a sharp company.

    Just another data point or two! I've had my dual Vidars since Sept 2019. Initially they were driving B&W 605S2s. Then in March 2020 I received my Magnepan LRSs and gave the B&Ws to my daughter when they got their house. Some months later I also got a pair of KEF LS50 Metas with a KC62 Sub...

    You have that right. Marcus Miller. Who has seen him live? And to produce this in collaboration with Jonathan B. Maybe I’ll switch from the LRSs to the LS50 Metas for a different flavor. Enjoy. Grandaughter duty finished an hour ago so dinner and adult music has started…

    I've been meaning to tell you @sixergixer , I like your work...! It is synergistic with my Schiit :beerchug: Image taken a couple months ago +. After the holidays...with my family, friends, and tennis buddies, all gone!

    So if you like this type of music (Jazz, World Music), this is a fantastic album. I've seen Jonathan Butler in a small venue like Jazz Alley in Seattle, and an outdoor concert at Ste. Michelle Winery in Woodinville, WA. Playing this for the last 8 months my wife and I can't get enough of this...

    On Sunday I just received my B-Stock Modi Multibit 2 from Texas and I did get a shipping e-mail from support@intacct.com. I'm really liking how it pairs with my Nitsch Piety and I was pleasantly surprised that my wife liked that I saved $30 and took care of her shopping for me...Anyway, it is a...

    Yah, that's the problem with today's online publishing....we've all cut the budget by reducing the editorial staff :rolling_eyes:
