  1. That's specifically why we do this. It's comic relief to make life worth continuing. I mentioned in a previous thread that ~34% - ~38% of people don't possess a sense of humor, which often throws a monkey wrench into any productive online discussion. In years past, when your only means of protest was a letter to the editor (versus throwing a shoe at your TV), the editor would throw your letter into the circular file and that was that.
  2. There is no disagreement on this from anyone in the NFL universe, that I have heard about on the global earth or interplanetary NASA/CalTech Deep Space Downlink system. Is this new information you are conveying from somewhere else?
  3. I had forgotten about that name. Antonio Brown!! Haha! Didn't he relinquish like $270M in a fit of rage against his team? They were saying he made that money back as a Rap artist, but I never heard any evidence of that. To me, he's about as relevant as Aaron Hernandez is today.
  4. As you know, company officers are highly restricted from trading. At first glance this appears to be a regularly scheduled sale of a small fraction of his holdings. Otherwise it would be a slam dunk insider trading violation. Jo Jo Have you been drinking again?
  5. Freddy feels "Nothing" after being paralyzed due to a war injury:
  6. That is a bit strange since this is one of the more common setups. EQing is definitely required out of any amp/speaker with AP. I EQ the CP4 (CP300, etc) at the source and run the Amp flat, if that helps at all.
  7. Same with Ride Like the Wind. Here's the story of how they reworked the track to produce more drive forward with 4 on the Floor despite the widespread use by Disco at the time: (also interesting is the discussion on how the great players know when to cut off the note, not just the timing of the attack. -- Something I don't know that AI would necessarily parameterize)
  8. I'm with you. I should have said "I own the right to play the material on the disc". Adobe really screwed the pooch when they invalidated running my legacy Photoshop on a new OS version. I immediately invoked the well known countermeasures and now happily run their entire suite based on my punitive damages on them. I also encourage others to do likewise whenever possible when I hear of their rug being pulled out.
  9. Me too. But this was the among end in the coffin, fortunately:
  10. Cool. I haven't heard the Suns mentioned since the Cotton days. Loved watching when Hornacek played for them before he broke out.
  11. YOU GET NOTHING!!!!! YOU LOOOSE!!! GOOD DAY SIR!!!!!
  12. Hmmmm. Fwiw: https://www.allen-heath.com/rick-wakemans-journey-continues-with-allen-heath/ Are you saying they have a pro-line that's different than their $300 Zed 10 model?
  13. Oh Man, I've never seen LaBron shut down and intimidated so badly in a loss at the end of the game yesterday. Go Nikola!! I love it!! Jordan Never would have missed that shot.
  14. I always purchase SACD, CD, DVD, and physical media to this day, including Video Blu Ray for content I want in my library. You never know when the copyright owner is going to cut off digital online access. It's like Disney who would sell VCR tapes of their movies for a small period of time and then cut it off. I have a huge library of those. They say I don't own it. Yes I do. I dare you to try to demonstrate otherwise .
  15. I agree with your first paragraph. It's the Coachella herd that I'm not drinking their water.
  16. It was the first thing that came to mind. Some alternatives.... Kiki Dee, Kenny Rogers, Jimmy Webb (Mc P). My main point was that Disco was in the process of the inflection point of jumping the shark trending to crash&burn, where the mainstream thought it was going to be a hyperbola trending to infinity.
  17. I'm not a big fan of A&H, only because of a bad experience with the Zed10. Its price point should have been my warning where you could back calculate the raw parts cost to be $12.99 US. So there you go. Mine got taken out in a power surge last year and is now being used as base for a nesting platform in a tree for migrant birds. I now equate it with Behringer garbage.
  18. Thanks for posting these Dave!! Neat to see the these shots. Must have been an unbelievable concert! Potter is such a monster as well. I need to check again how tall Herbie is 🥸.
  19. I don't see the contradiction. No one thought it wouldn't continue to exist as a genre. Just that it wouldn't be the death of all other music or performance forever. I remember in the 70's many people thought that Disco was going to supplant all other music forever once the YMCA sent BTO packing. Fortunately Gordon Lightfoot saved us.
  20. A digital file (not stream) is the best possible format, easily surpassing a CD. 24 bit/44 or 48 will do the trick, and for those that care, 24/96 is readily available. Agree. Early 16/44.1 had so many errors. 24/96 if done properly should be better than any tape/vinyl/whatever (Digital Analog is better than any Analog). Nowadays, 16/44.1 should be ok for most everything except the highest dynamic range requirements after people have figured out how to use it. Then again, mastering for mp3 has us putting up windmills when nuclear energy is available. Listen to how poorly the drums crackle and shimmer with reconstruction errors on this early 80's GRP 16/44 digital recording: Dianne_S.mp3
  21. I assume it was of the second performance, not the first one? Or did they show both? No Clue. My axiom -- given that people attending are not people qualified to judge anything, I doubt it matters.
