I had just done a separate thread for this list: 50 Best Audiophile Recordings ... but should have put it here. It was fun reading thru this thread again; and bittersweet how many of these folks aren't here anymore. :confused:

Stunning slushpump solos by the US Army Band, on Flight of the Bumblebee! I played trombone from gradeschool thru college jazz band, and this guy's skill is stunning!

Interesting tech, aiming two “bendable” (?) ultrasonic beams towards someone’s ears, which combine to become audible. I didn’t quite understand it, but will be interesting if this ever becomes practical...

Yeah, I follow Robinson too, also Darko Audio.

Saw this kinda interesting read: https://www.headphonesty.com/2025/03/most-hated-audio-gear-time-according-audiophiles/?fbclid=IwY2xjawJKXCVleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHbQv6LtL5z-o39q9YyhpHo8hI0qo_8Q7AEt-lBk1o7sS6glTkdefDs7KQQ_aem__0dmCfCnk9PdE-7WvmIChA

During my recent research on music streamers I found some audiophile channels that I've continued to enjoy, including a daily 4-6 minute one from Paul McGowen, PS Audio. He's the founder of PSA, whom I was unfamiliar with, pretty high-end stuff and it's all designed/built in Pueblo, CO. He has...

Figure there may be a couple folks here interested:

John Darko "re-posted" this video from a lady I'm unfamiliar with, about a Brooklyn speaker manufacturer I'm also unfamiliar with, on how they build their "economy-line" of speakers (apparently ~$6,500). Some of the materials used were rather, uh, ho-hum, but the amount of manual labor that...

Max Cooper, 3D Reworks 001 This is an electronic music EP, done in a "binaural" recording. From what I remember, a "binaural" recording is normally a live music performance (usually classical) that is recorded with two small mics inside a styrofoam head, and what those two mics hear in the...

Wow, I'm surprised a "pencil"-style soldering iron could get hot enough to make a clean joint on a lug connector (granted, you have a variable-power unit, fancier than I ever had). As a part-time bar musician, I was constantly building my own 1/4" and XLR-ended cables, and I had to use a...

Just checked Amazon; DT is selling this in a 3-disk set: the OG album, the album with just instrumentals, and a Bluray with 5.1 mixes. $60.00 Decision, decisions.

:thumbsup: I too have SOS's first CD, and everything Sadé put out (including a couple concert videos). You have excellent taste! :toast:

It's pronounced "baaa-ffling".

Been a Basia Saturday today, my favorite Polish singer/band.

Epic WP piece, (I think) from Madison Square Garden. Joe Dart plays around the beat so much I kinda lose where it is (they don't), and the full, deep, non-gated reverb on the Epic cowbell part drives the crowd into frenzy!

Brad Meldau is just... magic.

Coincidentally "Stumpy Nubs" just released a video today on working with MDF. I tend to agree more with Keith that properly-milled joints, plus lots of glue, is more secure for MDF than with adding fasteners, even if they get proper pilot holes; fasteners just seem to weaken the integrity of...

Gotcha, thanks!

Keith, I've been meaning to ask ever since you started this thread; what is "MTM"?? I've been wracking my brain and can't come up with a phrase.
