Lol na he was born in a smaller town nearby and used to hang around a record store a buddy of mine managed. He was Johnny Cougar back then.
Maybe a couple houses here were painted pink though. Because of the University, we are probably close to 80k.

John was born in Sermour Indiana with a current population of 21k, 71 years ago I suspect it was closer to 12k. Oops, it was 9,629 then.

Thanks @Paladin79
He was John Cougar when I first started buying his albums.
I have about a dozen.

My first ever Schiit purchase was also a Modi 2U. I needed the optical input from my TV to my preamp and it is still in use today. It's been flawless. When I get the new Modi MB+ I will probably A/B my old 2U with my Modius to see which one sounds better. Right now they are on different systems.

Very nice. One of my favorites is his cover of Van Morrison’s Wild Night.

Body capacitance. On mine I need to be barefoot just like Finnegan.

Sorry about the socks and I hope you are doing well.

Thanks. Yeah, I figured that out - it's just that the added "yes I'm me" confirmation on the software is a small pain when I haven't had coffee yet (I measure myself first thing out of bed for consistency).

I am doing well, thanks. I dropped my motorcycle on my leg doing a slow u-turn (too slow) and the wound got infected. So plenty of time with IV anti-biotics, wound wraps, etc. It's healed well but I'm going to need to wear compression stockings for at least six months until the skin of the scar has strengthened up.

Aaaaaand considering it's -13C out there, not a lot of ride time just now, and probably won't be until April/May.

Good thing there's music!

"Assy in the USA" - The new heartland rock solo album by Mike Moffat

"Assy in the USA" makes me think of thong bikinis.

Unfortunately lately it reminds me of the kind of bikinis you see in Walmart. NOT something that you really want to be looking at.

Really?? I can only recall using a small segment of it myself and it has been a while but then I like some of the Chesky recordings. What do you and some audiophiles prefer?

I actually like Spanish Harlem. But I’ve heard it a lot at audio shows.

For testing gear I play whatever is in my head at the moment. It might be Tool, Rage against the Machine, Larkin Poe, Rachael Yamagata, some early 90’s techno, or some of those soundtracks I listed earlier.

I only dabble in electronic music but I used Demons Of Pain by Infected Mushroom in making a lot of my decisions. It exposed true detail and clean crisp base, blackness, spatial signals, blah blah when that was what I was looking for and Jazz At The Pawn Shop.

Nothing wrong with that. As I said we used to use a small portion of that song, we do not anymore. Chesky originally used it in what I remember to be a free download to show off one of eight music criteria, as best I can recall. Much of it probably had to do with the quality of the recording compared to the musical style or artist performing it.

If you can't place the instruments when playing that version of Spanish Harlem, then you definitely need to improve your system. The separation is great and they don't do anything stupid like artificially move instruments around like so many other recordings do. My other Chesky favorite is the Melissa Mango recording of her singing in a church while it rains hard outside. The ambiance from the rain is just so good!

I am familiar with Jazz at the Pawn shop, I will have to look up the other music. I have always been interested in what others might use in order to make decisions.
There are no wrong answers, your music your choices.
