    New music doesn't all suck, does it?

    I know you'd think we're All calm and peaceful up here in the Great White North. Looks like all doom and gloom over there in the West, though.

    Drugs aren't my thing but what are YOU on?

    New music doesn't all suck, does it?

    I wasn't avoiding the question, I forgot to address it. So I may not be able to pinpoint origin but I know if I've heard it before. Quite a few tunes in the past were crossovers of other tunes so that's not new. You can always tell when parts of one are taken from another. One can argue that...

    New music doesn't all suck, does it?

    I've got a bunch of DVDs of live performances I gotta get around to. Right now I'm watching John Fogerty's Vietnam Tribute 1987. Very well done.

    New music doesn't all suck, does it?

    These days I'm recognizing just how much I love the gear relative to the music. I've always convinced myself "it's all about the music", but lately it's the longing to play the gear that prompts me to listen which is pretty revealing. It is however the love of music that ignited the interest in...

    New music doesn't all suck, does it?

    I'm very dipolomatic. However I suppose this is inevitable...bottom line is if it's a pleasing or appealing melody, it's already been done. Sure it's infinite but not infinitely appealing. I don't listen to music anywhere nearly as often as I used to. And that's just me being lazy because the...

    New music doesn't all suck, does it?

    I find if it sounds good it also sounds familiar. A few bars of this, a few of that, a little sprinkle of the other and voila. ChatGPT will be a genius at it. I'm actually not knocking it but I don't think I'll be lining up to buy. Even that new technomarvel McCartney and Ringo came up with...

    New music doesn't all suck, does it?

    Sorry, didn't mean to provoke. But if it doesn't have a vintage sprinkle in it, it's just not palatable. I find all that are, do.

    New music doesn't all suck, does it?

    So if it's actually new it definitely sucks. Plagiary is where it's at. ^

    Shorting speaker terminals

    Is it not like passing a baton? One received, another passed on?

    Shorting speaker terminals

    Again, I don't mean to pester. I'm just trying to get my head around what's going on at the quantum level. It's extremely difficult to get answers at this scale by googling, virtually impossible. Google is broken. You would think with the internet and search engines you'd be able to find answers...

    Shorting speaker terminals

    Are these 'virtual photons' travelling essentially at C? Is what is travelling in the coil the same thing as the magnetic flux?

    Shorting speaker terminals

    But when the terminals are connected together and the brake is in effect, is there movement of electrons in a closed loop?

    Shorting speaker terminals

    Okay, so what is that non flowing current? Potential? Does it come into existence with motion or is something already there?

    Shorting speaker terminals

    Exactly, so is there current flow through that zero ohm resistor? Perpetually? I suppose by induction?

    Shorting speaker terminals

    Okay, for the life of me I can not find a single entry addressing this topic on google. No matter how I word it, the same results come up. I didn't want to pester you people about something as mundane as this but it looks like I have to. We all know if you place a piece of wire across the...

    What's a good audio forum that isn't too snobby?

    PFFT! First of all, untold myriad foundation of gear holding up the house. Then there's what I'm listening to at present: Oppo UDP205 No pre amp Acoustat Monitor 3 with double panels in isobaric 2 sets of Acoustat Servo Charge OTL monos, 1 set per side; 4, yea, that's right, 4 amps total...

    Well lets just see if you still feel that way after divulging your COLLECTION! :p

    What's a good audio forum that isn't too snobby?

    This exact thing happened to me in two other forums. In one I challenged another member's statement without any kind of angst and this guy wanted to meet up with me somewhere to 'have it out'. I replied with the violin emoji and he threatened bodily harm declaring his seniority over me. So I...

    What's a good audio forum that isn't too snobby?

    Yea, I think I remember that one but I was referring to a more recent one where I saw no mud slinging. DMLBES pretty well quoted the declaration verbatim.

    What's a good audio forum that isn't too snobby?

    Sticks and stones, eh. I do remember a newcomer who rubbed the administration the wrong way there not that long ago, actually. I read his posts when I noticed he was banned and couldn't see why. Something about spl. I suppose he had a private conversation with a moderator. :whip:

    What's a good audio forum that isn't too snobby?

    Mere tolerance will always degrade into animus. No one wants to share the land.

    What's a good audio forum that isn't too snobby?

    Yes, and yet they are not mutually exclusive or diametrically opposed. Friendly has nothing to do with snobby. When the term "audiophile" first came out it was an exclusive snob club. You had to be in that 'inner circle' of enthusiasts extolling the virtues reserved for the uppa crust of audio...

    Benchmark AHB2 vs Parasound A21+ ?? Driving Klipsch Cornwall IV

    Who knows. It doesn't explain the "best I've ever heard comment", though. Mind you that line is not in the 4 ads presently in CAM and USAudiomart. None of them mention synergy. There's also an A21+ in USAudio. All of these amps are virtually new. Could be synergy. My guess is they don't better...
