Yeah, baby! With 11 herbs and spices.

This past year, I've been really getting into the music of Mieczysław Weinberg, a Polish/Soviet composer who Shostakovich befriended and championed. Weinberg was a very promising composer and performer in Poland before the German invasion and the story of his harrowing escape to Russia, losing his entire family in the process, could be the story for a film. Later in Russia, he was arrested by Stalinist authorities on bogus charges and was only released - and likely escaped execution - upon Stalin's sudden death.

Quite a tale, and his music is truly wonderful!

I really like some of that but other pieces are just sooooo screechy I'm not sure I could ever come to appreciate it.

Respectfully, you might want to look up Mike Moffat's background in this realm. Between Mike, Dave, Ivana, and Jason, I will accept their judgment and opinions as the final word in areas where they work, live, and breathe.

When I was president of a national Canadian astronomy organization, I'd get unsolicited manuscripts sent to me on at least a quarterly basis from some rando who had "conclusively proven Einstein wrong!" with their new, groundbreaking, physics-shattering, "all Nobel Prizes in Physics should be revoked!" theory that purported to unify relativity and quantum mechanics. Of course they were...not that.

Similarly, a colour blind friend was recently gifted, with all good intentions, one of those pairs of glasses that purports to let the colour blind see in technicolour. Now, my friend has a deep understanding of optics from physiology through to camera and astronomy lenses and how they all work separately and together. He could see through the hype and obvious flim-flam that was going on - and quantify it - and the glasses were of course far less than what the marketing claimed.

Last, in audio, we have MQA. The less said about that, the better. Jason and co. have made their position on that and other licen$ed standards like Dolby, THX, etc. very clear (hence, Syn).

I'm more than content to let the folks at Schiit dream up their own products and solutions in their Skunkworks laboratory. Their track record is pretty darned good, in my humble-ish opinion.

She obviously has a thing for chicken legs.

Jeeze I stop back for a moment to say hi and this is the discussion? Gender specific audio porn?

 

[Ripper2860]

I don't see digital volume theory as being gender-specific.

I have those and the Hart Audio yoga block ones. Those ones (not Ikea's) aren't as stable as I would like nor does the wire holder on back work as well as I'd like.

HST, price is hard to beat and I'm being nit-picky with the above....

Just bought some to try out. If they are average, it will be a great bargain @ $7/each. Thanks for the tip.

Wait!? It's 'Leg Day'? I thought it was 'Keg Day'.

Keg day is every day

Just so happens that it’s also “skip leg day” too

 

[M-83]

Gorgeous.

His whole career was literally based on that. Just sayin’.

I'd strongly disagree. I always felt that his career was based on his ability to deadpan sentences that are otherwise funny (or supposed to be) with a Germanic accent. Just watch True Lies to see this best displayed.

Nah Commando is his best film for one liners

Absolutely stunning cinematic track

My wife is/was. I've offered to take off my shirt for her multiple times, but she always says "not the same," whatever that means.

You're doing it wrong:
