  1. Gave up looking for the live version of Mercy street I wanted, so I checked out the covers. This girl, young woman, from Scotland crushed the others with vocals. No substitute for ability https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2x1Pez8Eow&list=PL1UqUUp_tqcAkuVR9gjs2ULkV89u5Nb0s&index=19
  2. My fav track cause of death still under investigation no foul play indicated.
  3. Garbage in, garbage out Everything else subtracts from the original signal quality every touch does something. Less touch is the argument for simple tube amps and an analog record player and horn loaded speakers
  4. Bench test running sine waves through both units and compare the wave decodes side by side on an oscilloscope Freq sweep charts would be very cool
  5. CD version should be very plucky, the entire lp is....
  6. KH was designed for one speaker in mono, with a low watt tube amp in 1942. LS is superior in every way for 2 speaker listening, corners, no corners, sub no sub, sitting not standing, movable, I could have purchased either, and thought the LS was the clear choice for many reasons ,the first being sound quality and flexibility
  7. Exactly, KH goes a little deeper is very placement sensitive and the mids are above ear level when sitting. LS CAN BE PLACED ANYWHERE, MIDS AT EAR LEVEL WITH 4 IN CASTERS, AND BASS CAN BE AUGMENTED WITH 1-2 SUBS IN THE CENTER BETWEEN THE LS
  8. The Counterfeit Traitor 1962 2h 20m WW-2 spy movie filmed in Scandanavia pretty good, lots of good details Holden has so many good movies see if you catch the adlib by Holden quick recovery by the other actor
  9. Post WW2 movie as Brittan was shedding it's colonies free on yt if you want something to watch tonight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rr9fbEVsBOI The 7th Dawn 1964 2h 3m Political and personal intrigues surround a group of characters in Malaya, after the close of the Second World War.
  10. Casters for at least 5 years IKEA 125lb ea, 3.5-4 in screwed to the bottom improved mid horn at ear level plenty of bass, I also have a front firing sub I sometimes turn on. I would do it again in a second
  11. Scandinavian 40s period spy movie reminds me of Scandanavia, extra points 6-7 THE SPY, Sonja weigert https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/amzn1.dv.gti.83aaaa99-3144-4cc7-9dc3-05a1097df587?ref=imdb_web&autoplay=1&ref_=imdbref_tt_wbr_fdv&tag=imdbtag_tt_wbr_fdv-20
  12. Draw a diagram of your current set up include the connections and types laptop is your best dac, a c- at best. get an inexpensive usb dac for $100 or less connected to the pc Emotiva big ego is good check amazon, there are many good ones. I haven't studied blutooth, but suspect it is bandwidth limited. get a wireless keyboard connect pc to tv hdmi can also buy an hdmi upscaler later for better pic if needed
  13. If hiss is constant and steady then it may be DC could be induced harmonic frequency at say 2x 60hz from power cable crossing speaker cable ? Could be DC leakage from a capacitor if cap coupled, maybe replace the caps with lower leakage caps nichicon fg ?
  14. The coder sw and decoder sw results can vary substantially by protocol. IF you take the same bit stream and code and decode it, the differences by protocol and bit rate can be dramatic. We evaluated 8 protocols years ago, mp3 was beta quality. As to the competing services, lots of database features, catalog and quality. Some record labels put out better Quality consistently Some remasters are loudness wars dogs A service could curate all of catalog, would be a herculean effort. Approx 30% of the CDs I listen to get donated. The rest I rip 200 every winter
  15. coopers hawk puts road runner in the rear view mirror no fat, slow or dumb critters in my yard for long m
  16. Nice set of videos from Ortofon, Denmark Mine is 45 years old and still works perfectly as does my Dual turn table

    DEATH OF BLURAY ?

    Your 6 transistor mono radio was high tech at the time. Almost everything we take for granted was magic before 1900 My grandfather remembered seeing the first car in his town, then the space shuttle in his lifetime.
  19. Post some pics, and city TX is a big place It's not RI

    DEATH OF BLURAY ?

    According to findings from Statista Consumer Insights, DVD and Blu-ray are quickly spinning out of fashion across the globe, with the share of respondents who watched video from a physical format declining, sometimes significantly, in all major markets. https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/dvd-blu-ray-are-quickly-spinning-out-fashion
  21. Common Linets, country and western band, formed by Dutch pop star Ilse de Lange to compete in the Euro music contest. Radio cover of First aid kit song.
  22. Emily the criminal, 2022 Shows what can be done with a plot, a decent script and acting. No big ticket car chases, explosions etc. More like a 1940s movie. Though the director makes no effort to emulate a 1940s movie. Good effort, and the director's first time out. Much better than most of this batch of current releases from my library. Most don't make it 10 mins in my player. There are lots of big names in trope laden lecturing movies aka garbage. Budget $1.5–2 million[1][2] Box office $2.2 million
