Gave this a good listen on my upgraded sound system, and I’ll be damned if there’s no drums on this track. Am I crazy?

I’ve heard this on YouTube, but wondering if there is a cleaned up bootleg? Calling Peter Jackson!!

I am a Buckeye so I feel like I can say this. So many of our fans I cannot stand. Because we did not sweep the Pistons, we hated our Cavs like poison and they were the worst team ever. Now that we have a 3-2 edge and momentum going back home, we’re already punching our ticket for another trophy and they are better than the 2016 squad. LMFAO

Just noticed Apple Music gutted the Beatles album section, leaving just the original mixes up to Rubber Soul, and the Giles Martin mixes only thereafter.

There used to be multiple versions of Pepper, White Album, LIB (although curiously they added LIB Naked.)

Check out the rhythm guitar on Wings “Love Is Strange”… this could well have inspired Becker’s part on Hey Nineteen!

After years of music serving as almost background ambience, I find myself spinning an album and having a near-religious experience 😂.

I now have not only the time to listen with the active engagement of my youth, but also a rig respectful enough to deliver. Decades of being on the treadmill of suboptimal mass-market listening devices must have wrecked my ears; not physically, but acoustically, for lack of a better word. My ears had been trained to adapt to SO much compression, lo-fi tech, etc. that my ears went into total sensory overload listening to true hi-fi with proper speakers, positioning, etc. I did not know where to focus my ears because so many new sounds were revealed. I was ready to chuck all my gear because listening to music was almost giving me anxiety.

I had to re-train my ears and brain to really HEAR music. Years of listening to shit speakers/buds kinda turned everything into mono. Now having separation, clarity, soundstage… I feel how the first people in history that heard stereo must have felt.

I now focus on the lead instrument, whether it be voice, guitar, piano, etc. First time doing this, and everything behind the lead instrument just sprang to life. The lead instrument is your guide, drawing your focus so all the accompanying instruments can fill in the blanks, kinda like how peripheral vision fills in the margins to give you the broadest field.

This all hit like an epiphany for whatever reason as I was listening tonight.

But I now can say I GET IT the way people obsess over format, gear, setup. I feel like I’m in the club now!

This all hit like an epiphany for whatever reason when “Not Dark Yet” was playing, and made the whole thing extra emotional, as that is a big favorite.

Forgive my rambling… happy listening!

Price seems too good to be true, but over 500 sold with 4+ star reviews.

Anyone have experience with this cleaner?

Thank you!

I just learned that Miles Davis married his first wife in Toledo in 1959.

No research informs me why he chose Toledo, other than that he played a gig in Detroit a couple of days prior, so Toledo was close by.

Anyone know the details? Was Miles friends with Cliff Murphy?

Thank you!

I stream Tidal on my laptop, which is lined in to my Onkyo A9010.

How much of an upgrade would a WiiM be in terms of quality/fidelity? Not concerned about convenience or hardware/software features.

Thank you!

A Kinks obsession strikes me; I flameout. Eleven years later; strikes again and here comes yet another day…

Forgive me a tired question… why were The Kinks not bigger in the US?

Thank you!

Was this a piss-take? Love this tune, it is Who-ier than anything The Who was actually doing at that time!
