    Looks like they did a underdubbed(?) version of Band On The Run

    The struggle is real. @jblnut nut and I joke that we use my 2000 +/- vinyl stash as a card catalog to browse titles, only to call them up on Qobuz and stream all but the most obscure albums in hi-rez instead.

    FS Interest Check: Jazz Albums

    Sorry if I'm being dense, but I'm not seeing a "for sale" folder or drop down any place, just the discogs listing of the 500+ jazz titles (nice collection). Am i missing something?

    Recreating music from brain activity

    This is pretty wild stuff. "To turn brain activity data into musical sound in the study, the researchers trained an artificial intelligence model to decipher data captured from thousands of electrodes that were attached to the participants as they listened to the Pink Floyd song while...

    Oddball Japan-Only Tube DAC with VU Meters, Oh My

    Don't recall it coming with either. I use it plug & play via the optical in from a Node and balanced out to my BAT VK31SE

    “It didn’t last an afternoon.”

    Phew, I thought it was just me. I moved that one around to different rigs and several iterations of them, and my reaction only ever ranged from "that sounds just ok" to "make it stop." I never did find the system synergy I was looking for from that unit.

    Favorite wines under $25

    Been doing blind taste test gatherings with a group of wine enthusiast friends for years, typically tasting a vertical of the same varietal at varying price points, generally between $8-$100. We've always been able to identify the least and most expensive wines by taste alone, but the ones that...

    RIP Gordon Lightfoot

    He could set a mood and paint a mental picture better than just about anybody.... The lamp is burnin' low upon my table top The snow is softly falling The air is still in the silence of my room I hear your voice softly calling If I could only have you near To breathe a sigh or two I would...

    FYI I got scammed using PayPal Friends and Family

    I always thought it was just urban legend, but I recall hearing that NASA resorted to eBay to find replacements for obsolete parts for the space shuttle towards the end of program. Your comment makes me think that might have actually been true.

    I nominate this for Thread of the Year solely based on its Title-to-Content weight ratio

    Using REW to measure in-room response - anyone want to give me a crash course?

    This is a great thread but I'm lazy and this stuff makes my eye twitch so I count on @jblnut to help out when he comes to my house. I will be sure to keep after him to improve his chops and share with the group. Isn't that what friends are for?

    Latest Music Purchase CD or Vinyl

    I’ve become a big fan of the Blue Note Tone Poet reissue series. The remastering is generally exceptional. I recently added these titles to the collection and while the Coltrane mono pressing is brilliant, Mobley’s Curtain Call seems to be cut a bit too hot, resulting in some high frequency...

    NYT ~ 5 Minutes That Will Make You Love Jazz Piano?

    This is pretty great. I saw Abdullah Ibrahim at a tiny club in Massachusetts (The Iron Horse) 20+ years ago and was blown away. And while I'm familiar with most of the other artists in this article, many of the tracks are new to me so thanks for sharing.

    The Bourbon, Rye and American Whiskey Thread 🥃

    From a tasting we did at the house this weekend. The top 4 picks were Garrison Balmorhea, Hillrock Solera Aged, an Old Elk barrel pick and the Kentucky Spirits LTD. For those that like Garrisons (or Texas whiskey in general), the barely visible Lone Elm Single Barrel in this pic may rival...
