Finally a new standard!

I’m very well served by Qobuz, but now the heat is on. Competition is always good. It’ll be interesting to see how they differentiate.

I’ll tell you one thing, if I were one of those cats, I’d buy Roon.

Roon is aweful with tidal you can’t just add all your artists. You have to add one album by each artist and then let Roon decide which albums are good. I’ll never use it with Tidal

@rhthymdevils- Not sure if that is true. I think the Tidal albums are added after you create your ripped library in Roon. Not sure what you mean by Roon deciding what albums are good. I believe they can both be in Roon and are tagged appropriately.

Not trolling, what really is wrong with their UI?

I can’t say “wrong”, but it’s pretty basic. I was imagining we’d get a reasonable Roon competitor. It’s bare, it works, but it’s not “minimalistic”, it just feels… bare to me.

But it works!

John Williams!

Possibly my favorite Williams score, easily up there with Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Jurassic Park.

This version is the best I’ve heard. “ A recent discovery of the score’s original 2-inch, 24-track music masters…” https://www.jwfan.com/?p=12134

Quantum?

Imperial Entanglements

Dumbass Actor Entanglements. Watched the Chris Rock thing last night. Bitch-slapped Smith back.

I’ve yet to meet a pretty set of electrostatic cans. Even DALL-E struggled: https://labs.openai.com/s/AvFLTGaprBBJLe60W3Kd1dpD #wtf

Yo-Yo Ma

"Unlike many electrostatics, Corina is even fun with electronica and rock." So what music does the Stax-mafia listen to??

Wondering if one of these would drive an OG HE-6

@LetMeBeFrank if there's sufficient interest I don't see why not

raises hand

too much energy relative what I heard as somewhat overshadowed mids had me hung up on the 660S1, and not in the good way, if it's worse, then idk even what to say lol

Mids are fine here IMO - recessed vocals bother me and that is not what I am hearing.

So are bad calls even after video review

Whale cum to sports! Particularly irksome in professional league where adding checks and balances would be chump change. eg Extra refs and camera-based umpires.

Agreed @JK47...that guy bobbled the ball AND it was a catch and a fumble. The holding call was almost a maekup for those two bad calls. At least the Eagles didn't get another down. And PS - the real MVP was Kadarius Toney with that record breaking punt return!

Oh yeah, I saw the moon and kept meaning to check and see if there was a new PG song out. :D

I listen to Atmos thingies very rarely, and through AirPods Max. I can’t comment intelligently. Light-Side Mix is where it’s at for me for this track.

If it ends up doing whatever group therapy is supposed to do, then some good will come out of it. (I said, "if.")

Oh, not all legends are bad. But this is likely going to be hall of fame, required reading, “remember the ETA thread” type of thing.

Whaaaat?

Oh my god. This one hurts more than most.

RIP indeed.

It seems that, out of that bunch, at least Stills and Crosby were extremely imperfect human beings. Yet, not only is their music magnificent, but their lyrics have often resonated with me.

I guess it isn't necessary to be a saint to write good stuff.

Ah, the new moon will bring a “Dark Side” mix of Panopticom! So two mixes per month!

The Dark Side mix is where it’s at. More Gabrielesque.

The band sounds happy in the latest drop: Panopticom (Original Band Tracking Session 24/09/2021)
