Yet another, that I've missed until tonight. One of Chicago's biggest hits; sadly "Adult-Contemporary" radio stations usually cut off the second song (not sure "Coda" is the right term). Killer!

^^^Was not my final edit... :suspicious: Tonight I'm watching the Cowboys/Cards game, played on 1 November. On Fox/NFL, recorded by NFL Network. I had to FF thru the first 20 minutes or so just to get to the game, PQ okay but not great. NOW, the volume is too low! I have to set it on my...

I certainly hope you’re correct.

Well Chuck, I have; got a Cambridge audio streamer/DAC about a year ago, think I've only purchased 2 CDs since then. However, to my knowledge I can't stream 5.1 or greater, and I have very few movies; most of my Blurays are concert videos and Apple Music (which I have along with Tidal) has...

This sends me into a bit more despair. When Oppo pulled the plug on disk players I bought two more, as insurance (I have a pretty good collection of Blurays, 5.1 SACDs, and a few DVD-A's). I'm now on my second one, and it's starting to skip randomly. They (in my experience) can't be fixed...

Pauly went cutting-edge, Caleb hasn't even reviewed it yet! (Nice "strip-tease" there, Caleb! :rofl:)

Apologies if this was an early Pearl Jam MTV video; I've never seen it before and it gave me a chubbie:

Aw, man. He was pretty much the soundtrack of my Sr year in college...

I have been following my favorite Chicago cover band, Leonid and Friends, for years now, but somehow I'd never seen this cover of the haunting, etherial Wishing You Were Here: Fun Fact: The Beach Boys contributed a lot of the backing vox on the original track. Half the members of...

Randy the “CheapAudioGuy” just reviewed the new Wiim soundbar, first I’ve heard of it. It’s $475, don’t know if that meets your price range but Wiim seems to be killing the Price/Performance market so it may be worth looking into. There's a lot of tinkering you can do with the lauded Wiim...

High-speed video of the combustion cycle in a see-thru Wankel engine; neat!

Thanks Chuck. I did get an email yesterday (didn't see it until today) that explained how to watch it free via "Twitch" and a VPN: https://www.pcmag.com/news/how-to-watch-the-seattle-seahawks-vs-denver-broncos-game-for-free?utm_source=email&utm_campaign=whatsnewnow (I don't do business with...

Chris, I owe you a beer a case! :drinkingbeer: When I first got my iPhone (SE v2) I had a devil of a time ever installing apps onto it; I finally figured out the touch sensor, I needed to just touch it for my fingerprint to authorize/purchase; if I pressed it it would send the phone back to the...

My laptop's battery power is now at 1%, glad I got th

I can't remember which GTG it was, at Batman's; I had tried to recreate this experiment I'd done in gradeschool, using both fine flour and powdered sugar, and all I did was mess up Bat's firepit. Posting to prove, it can be done!
