Based solely on your comments, I restate what I said before. Star Trek was never an action show, other than "Enterprise" and "Discovery." The interesting stuff in nearly all Star Trek series were ideas, concepts, allegory, and classical struggles of the human condition.

Maybe, "Baroque-esque"

I believe that's called "Baroque-like" or "tribute to the Baroque era".

Another dead music genre.

Well, thank you, brother. I've been listening to quite a bit of Power Pop today, things like Jellyfish, Cheap Trick, Bangles, Bleu, Fountains of Wayne, and Jason Falkner.

You are reminiscing about the past. That is perfectly fine. I also listen to 50's jazz combo music, baroque music, and romantic period opera. Don't confuse comment about a genre of Rock & Roll being dead with saying that period of music isn't great.

There is an industry producing new Reel recordings, but they are expensive. Most hard-core reel-heads make their own live recordings of performances they attend, and there's a tape trading community out there (one reason most reel-heads own two machines, to make copies).

Have any of you noticed that audio nerds who own a Reel-to-Reel always always own four to ten Reel-to-Reel machines?

Sometimes it is just time to retire. I just feel sorry for Phil.

I'll add, I believe they are so popular right now mostly because they don't obviously color the sound sound in the midrange and still have a strong, boosted bass which gives them the perception of being much larger than they are.

This week I got the opportunity to listen to a pair of Buchardt S400 bookshelf speakers, which the hip audiophile crowd is going ga-ga over at present. https://www.buchardtaudio.com/shop/s400-white The pair I was able to hear were setup in a nice large performance room in a recording studio...

I've said it before, and I'm saying it now: The most important technology of our lifetimeis the Lithium ION Battery. Here's a great discussion about that and what's coming next. I did not know the guy responsible for Li-ION batteries was also core to the invention of RAM.

Okay space science nerds... this is very interesting!

The legendary Nick Lowe reminding us that all men are liars!

pretty crazy, eh?

Really enjoying this concert of Rick Wakeman performing "The Six Wives of Henry VIII" with a full orchestra and choir! Brings back fond memories of playing along with this and his other records when I was learning to play drums and I wanted to work on my ability to quickly memorize songs. My...

Here's a frequency response and THD chart a hardcore hobbyist in Italy made and presented in his video review of a Benz cartridge. As you can see, the frequency response is pretty smooth, but not exactly flat. There is a max in the range from 50Hz to 150Hz and a 2dB valley between 2kHz and...

This is a child musician worthy of praise on the internet!

But, I really didn't like it. I am only analyzing what I think they were attempting to do and to point out that I don't believe I was their intended audience.
