My Bryston 3BST will not turn on. When it is powered up I get an ever so brief green light in channel 1 and a red light in channel 2. There are no lights when it is on, and no functioning. On power down I briefly get 2 green lights. Fuses seem intact from what I can tell. Of course the amp has...

Damn. Played with Ronnie Hawkins as a 16 year old. Played with Dylan. Of course The Band. Worked with Scorsese on many films. Damn!!

I have ordered this Audio Streamer to replace a Squeezebox as I have been having problems with the Squeezebox dropping signal and constantly rebuffering. While the problems with the Squeesebox could be on my end with settings I am going to give this new streamer a try. I had thought(very...

David Crosby of The Byrds and CSN(Y) passed away today. He was 81. R.I.P.

Found this while perusing Youtube. I assume Botch has already seen this!!!;)

Light on back was flashing red. Had a faint odour of burnt platic. Emailed Axiom, sent photos of back so they could get correct replacement model. Said most likely amp is toast. Will remove and send in for new replacement. Out of warranty. Will cost 290 CAD. Can't get a new sub for that and I...

Tried to search the forums but could not find anything. I recently had a deck redone and they had to remove speakers and speaker wire during demolition. I also cannot put old speaker back on wall as the configuration of the deck changed. So that would mean drilling new holes in the brick. While...

Sitting having morning coffee in the living room with my wife. Stereo is off. Suddenly it starts making a ticking noise and the standby light is flashing red! That ain't good I say to my wife!! Hit the power button for shits and giggles knowing that will not do squat! Will it did something...

Let's call it a Covid concert. They are an Aussie band reuniting and raising money for charity. Video quality is great and so is the audio. You may have heard of the song "My Happiness" or "These Days" off Odyssey Number Five released in 2000.

Frightening considering he seems like such a sweet man. Wow!! https://www.cbsnews.com/news/how-a-texas-ranger-convinced-serial-killer-samuel-little-to-confess-to-murdering-93-people-60-minutes-2019-10-06/

With the new 4K TV I realized in a hurry, oh shit my old Onkyo can't pass 4k. So I have to run HDMI from my cable box to receiver for 4k video and an optical cable from tv to receiver for sound? Does that sound right? So now that means I can't get the higher resolution audio format like dolby...

I have begun the search for a replacement for my 42 inch Panasonic Plasma. I will be going somewhere in the 55" range as it still has to fit in a cutout in our living room entertainment unit. I have decided on OLED. I recently talked to a gentleman at a big box store who told me LG makes the...

They may have been a one hit wonder..but it was a pretty good song..IMHO.

Apparently original organizer Michael Lang wants to have a 50th . Not at Woodstock but at Watkins Glen instead. I feel old...Michael Lang is 74. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/woodstock-50th-anniversary-michael-lang-775588/

I often troll the Thrift store and a bricks and mortar that sells used cds. I found this disc. The disc itself is definitely Chris Isaak as it is written on the disc. Instead I got this : Leona Boyd "Whispers of Love" How is that even possible? At first I thought someone just erased...

Catchy tune and...well..it's David Byrne..so a little weird.

My father in law was clearing out a bunch of his old electronics so I was a dutiful son-in-law and took them off his hands. Mostly a bunch of crap, but there was a Sony turntable that is good enough for my son to use (apparently vinyl is cool again) and there was also this cassette deck. Ever...

Last night at the half time show for the superbowl I thought" Wow the sound for this is shit" Muddy and all we could hear was Justin Timberlake's voice. I thought, they must be having audio problems. Football comes back on and I figure the audio will be back to normal. Nope. Only sound is...

I have been having a really bad day electronics wise. Among other things one of my Squeezeboxes power cords seems to have crapped out. I am not really sure how to decipher all the hieroglyphics on the back but it looks like it is a 5Volt 2 amp plug. The centre pin is positive and the outside...

I know that the official Spotify app is no longer supported so I thought I would try one called Spotty. For the life of me I can not get this thing to authorize my squeezebox. I am using a Synology ds216play as my Logitech Media Server. According to the interwebz people have reported that it...
