Glad you enjoyed it. Posted it here to test reactions. 😊

Aside, Carlos is the same level as Oliver Dragojevic of Croatia. May be you will like it too.

Yeah i’d buy them if i was in the US but shipping and 10% tax at this end do price them up a bit. thanks though for the reply!
No worries! But what didn’t come out as clearly was that I like the world’s best. Nada wrong with them at all!

• Two Ripper options 🤔?: A.) Walk through the car wash - full wax treatment; B.) Drive top down convertible through the car wash - full head shine .... 🤩😎

• EDIT: B) gives the bath & the shower 👍
Wait… “Wax” Ripper?!?! Kinda sorta a killer pun there. Reminds me of American Hot Wax, the movie chronicling Alan Freed’s early radio days (sorry if I’m misspelling here).

Definitely looks like sequencing to me.

Sometimes it's just some track adjustments such as the Southwest 1980 to delay the flight slightly and achieve the right separation for the arrival sequencing, or it might be something more is required such as holding patterns due a to a range of factors (weather most often, or different enroute winds meaning arrival slots are not exact and everyone wants the runway at the same time!)


Here's a nice view of weather related holds as a result a the storm cell that was over Melbourne airport on Dec 26th last year. There were more than this but FR24 only allow 6 at once to be displayed.

It looks more like they are baulking at the prospect of ending up in Seattle !!

In my experience Hi-res seldom betters red book cd , its often different but not better , occasionally when you get an audio engineer , studio , producer and a streaming service or a Blu ray who know what they are doing its better by quite a margin , but its a rare event !!

And the way things are going, you're gonna be very lucky if there is a Valhalla 3. Ever.

Warning: mini-chapter ahead.
I’m sorry to hear that, I was looking forward to VH3’s summer release to renew my office setup (and, because I’m cheap, piggy-back an extra Freya remote on top to save on postage :smile:).

I hope you find a solution to make it work even if it seems hopeless now, but hey what would life be without challenges? :wink:

Anyway, consider at least one sold (to me!) if/when it is released :)

Indeed. I could imagine spinning vinyl again if I had more space and more patience, but I can't imagine any reason to push bits into a DAC from a spinning CD rather than from a file with the very same bits. But that's me, and my willingness to spend quite a bit in streaming hardware.
I like options and have them.🤪 As well as streaming I personally own in excess of 65,000 albums on vinyl, CD, hard drives , and reel to reel. Lately I receive and purchase more vinyl.

If you like Dragojević, try Arsen Dedić - he's an even bigger legend. His son, Matija Dedić, is also a great jazz player if you're into that. And talking about Croatian jazz musicians, Boško Petrović is another legend on European level.

Have both Dedić, but not Boško Petrović, I will try it for sure, Thank You ~~

Some of yous guys are aviators and can hopefully provide me with some insight. I casually track aircraft and sometimes notice planes taking strange curving routes. This evening, I noticed three craft in fairly close proximity making pronounced adjustments to their routes while en route to Seattle. The only thing I can think of is to slow down their arrival times to fit them into an arrival schedule better. Is this correct?

Already ninja'd by @Timster but it doesn't always take storms to have ATC alter the flight paths. The first flightradar24 pic shows Southwest getting what are known as "delay vectors". That's simply ATC adding some space in order to sequence arrivals into SEA. The American Eagle and Alaska flights probably needed more adjustment so they're either entering a holding pattern or just some more thorough delay vectors.
