There are several things that keep me coming back to this forum. One is finding some music that is incredible. Thanks Tom. Another reason is revealed in the following link. After seeing that many years ago my internet posting fell by 90%, but I'm still working on it. Duty Calls

A few hours ago, after not thinking of this story since well into the last century, it popped into me head as I was talking with an old lover on the phone. So I had to tell it to her. And here it is again. If you do a Google search for it in pdf form it is easy to find on the internet. Recommended.

A few hours later I feel the need to apologize for the "go autistic" phrase. Mea culpa.:sweat:

>snip< About 15 years ago I switched to Apple computers for my home system. Over time I had a moderate library of songs and CD's download to the computer. I'm very much attuned to alternate takes and versions of songs, performances, and like obscure rare versions. and had a lot of those stored...

Mouse? Rat? Sometimes I wonder why you can't buy mouse or rat cat food. Then I remember that people, not cats are buying it.

I think your priorities are off. I suggest you remove the door to the bathroom, put the sub where it needs to go for best sound. No big deal for people to step over the sub. Then you are done. Addendum: if the bathroom does not have an exhaust fan you might want to add one.

Yes, she played "Cathy Gale" in The Avengers (TV) show. This was early Avengers, with charming one camera budget.

At amateur astronomy gatherings, known as Star Parties, people have mistaken Dobsonian telescopes with the tube point straight up for trash cans.... Images of Dobs Now for something completely different. Thinking of getting some speaker cables. 8 or 9 feet long, and economical. Blue Jeans...

Thinking of buying some new speaker cables. 8' long, not bi-wired. Speakers: Linaeum 10, Nominal impedance: 8 ohms, goes down to 6 ohm but nothing difficult. Sensitivity: 88dB. I'm considering BJC Twelve White Speaker Cable or Supra Classic 2.5. Thoughts?

I rode in an Audi EV a few days ago. It seemed very quiet and low road noise. This was city streets, 45mph at most. Light classical music was playing. ... and then I hear faint whine that increased in pitch and volume in acceleration, and the opposite in deceleration. It might have been 'added'...

Thank you for the heads up! One of my favorite ECM artists is Steve Tibbets. Unique electric guitar player, sui generis. I believe the following is factual, but... you know you are getting old when you can't remember what decade something happened in. You know you are really getting old when you...

IF he meets any residential requirement issues, there is a two part hurdle. 1. Carpetbagger 2....from California Carpetbagger definition, for people who aren't American, or American who aren't Southerners

Oops. Duplicate post. Too many tabs open.

I highly recommend not delaying taking a cat, especially a male cat to a vet if they have urinary issues. I lost Sunshine to a urinary blockage circa 1971; it took less that 36 hours. It discovered that the dry cat food of that era could cause then problem. A quick internet search shows that...

How to lose a remote: Once upon a time (hint: that is the traditional opening of a Fairy Tale...) I bought a used subwoofer via Craigslist. The seller, who had two charming munchkins running around, ran it through some tests. I bought, and hauled it toward my car. On the way to the car I heard...

Very similar to what I and Brian Eno. Eno has said early in his career that he avoided looking at manuals when he got a new synthesizer because he could discover new sounds and possibilities no else had thought of before. Life hack: buy a backup remote if you buy anything with a remote that...

A few companies label the connections on the back in both right side up and upside down manner, so if you look over from the top 1/2 or some of the lettering is easy to read. I don't know if any use bright orange lettering. That would be much much better than light gray on black*.... or "black...

Help! That is referring to me asking for assistance, not the about the Beatles song, movie or record call Help!, but about the 2009 Beatles in Mono CD box set. A few years ago I tracked down and bought a copy. I quickly discovered that when it came the market was flooded with Chinese bootleg...

Yes, correct episode Oops, I failed to include this my reply. See my post above. (When I first saw that pic, my registered "a banana." Just for a second or two.)

Although I know little of high speed auto, I understand than another issue in choosing between two technologies is which one is more appropriate to the application.

I have been annoyed many times over the years, by someone asserting disc brakes are better drum brakes, digital is better than analog, analog is better than digital, polypropylene is better than walnut, etc. It's possible to make lousy or state of the art using either of the two given choices...

Gee. I post something about some possible yakking about electric toasters here. Then I get busy for the day and come back this evening, and I see more than a few posts about electric toaster and missed out on it! Lesson: check this forum constantly! Well, now for something completely...

Thank you. This reminds me why I spend so much time trying to keep up. Hmm. Wasn't there some yakking about electric toasters a while back?

Some decades ago some friends started a tofu business. If you have tasted fresh made tofu you know what I mean by free-range tofu. They made it the traditional Japanese way, with the exception that they used natural gas flame instead of wood, coal, or charcoal flame. I know, some people will...

The postings about the page count are an example of why I keep coming back. I wasn't even trying, and by the time I read several posts of people trying to be the first and figured out what ya'll were posting about, I missed it by 4 minutes. Well, I have another chance in another 1111 pages, OR...
