Any fans of zydeco music here? I'm a casual fan, but today I've been on a big Zachary Richard revival (which isn't probably strictly classified as zydeco). Steve Riley is also a favorite. And of course there's the great Stanley / Buckwheat Zydeco. Then you've got Sunpie, Rockin Dopsie...

Concerts aren't ideal for (amateur) photography from the audience. But it never stops me from trying. Here are a few less bad examples I've caught. If this thread grows legs maybe I'll dredge up some others. Metallica 8.6.23. Jack O'Neill 9.30.23 And an all time favorite, Jimmy...

We have numerous threads dedicated to cars, bikes, knifes, food, drinks, you name it. So let's see what kind of guitars ASR has to show off. My guess is there's some good stuff out there. I've been trying to get back into playing after a lengthy hiatus. So any inspiration is welcome. My...

This was a tough one. We knew he'd been sick but he also seemed like a guy who would live forever. He was so full of life. I was fortunate enough to see 22 concerts. Now that doesn't seem like enough. Probably because we'd been waiting for the perennial schedule to be rolled out and make some...

Just saw the film Squaring the Circle this afternoon. On the whole it is quite good. Included is commentary / interview footage with Page, Plant, McCarthy, Waters, Gilmour, Gabriel, and many others. Not a bad crew to have speaking on your behalf! My favorite quote was from Jimmy Page who...

Oh man does this ever suck. https://ultimateclassicrock.com/david-crosby-rip/

Is anyone else as annoyed by this as they were by that absurd blue blob (I used to call it something far worse) that Fox tried, with great failure, to display over the puck back in the '90s? At first I thought it was early-season unfamiliarity or something benign but this is clearly a problem...

Excellent condition with no visible marks or scratches lightly used in an environment with no smoking, pets, or kids. Will ship in original branded cardboard with original remote, power cord, and manual. Asking $875 $800... now $750. Buyer pays fees, shipping and insurance. I think the box...

Last night while listening to a CD my Oppo 203 suddenly and without prompting ceased playback and powered itself off. Pressing the power button (once) resulted in a full on/off power cycle. Another press of the power button cycled the unit on, whereupon it agreed to resume playing the CD...

Last time I saw them - 7.11.15. in Buffalo.

Does anyone have a short list of songs that do a great job of exposing a BBC / presence dip quite clearly? The sort of tracks that would easily demonstrate the difference between say a Revel and a B&W. Thanks in advance.

For the past couple of weeks my Yamaha A1080 will not stream my Tidal account. Yamaha claims that the Musiccast app is now required to do that, for some reason. However, having no Musiccast devises on hand that app refuses to cooperate, leaving me without a streaming option on the AVR. Have...

Ever since the first one in sixth grade band biographies have always been enjoyable reading for me. In fact, as I've sought lighter reading during the covid shut-in I'm in the middle of a second one in a row. At the moment I'm enjoying "Justice for All - The Truth About Metallica," by Joel...

This post is a big step for me, involving two things I was completely unfamiliar with prior to finding this outstanding website: REW measurements and room correction. Having overhauled my main system only mere months before stumbling upon the enlightenment of ASR (the system sounds great but...

We have similar threads for suggestions of beer and spirits but none strictly dedicated to wine. I'll start with tonight's selections to get it going. Here's where we started before dinner, with apologies for the damaged label. I'd like to blame the merchant for that, but it may simply have...
