    Toilet talk. The most non-discussed topic on any forum.

    I'm glad you got it Lee. Was hoping someone would.

    Toilet talk. The most non-discussed topic on any forum.

    Have you tried it with a silver top NOS flush handle? That's where the magic really starts to happen.

    When the "cover" song is as good or better than the original

    I agree and had meant to suggest this one myself. Great sound too on the version from her her live "Brave Enough" album which she does entirely solo. One of my favorite albums of recent.

    YG Acoustics Carmel 2

    I have a set of original Carmels inbound. Visited the factory last fall and got a preview of the Carmel 2, it is a significant upgrade. I'd love to get the Carmel 2, but the original is more aligned with my current funds. Cost to upgrade the crossover and drivers to Carmel 2 status is $13,500 USD.

    Happy St. Patrick's Day - Irish Playlist on TIDAL

    I spun The Pogues, "If I Should Fall From Grace With God" and sipped some Jameson to celebrate myself. Awesome evening actually.

    I am looking for a music streamer

    I was going to suggest it as well. I've heard it a few times and was quite impressed.

    Gone Girl

    My wife and I saw it on Saturday and both of us really enjoyed it. She had read the book and felt they stayed pretty close in general tone and feel, although there were some things in the book between Tyler Perry and Sela Wards characters (they were married in the book I think she said). The...

    RMAF 2014 - rooms and set-ups

    I was in this room today and found it quite impressive. The speakers aren't the eye candy that some are, but the imaging, depth and soundstage were among the best of any room I heard today. Very impressive.

    2014 RMAF Friday night Meet & Greet from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM

    I don't post a whole lot here, but wouldn't mind joining in. I'm a local and have been to RMAF every year, but have yet to meet anyone from this forum. Would be great to put some faces to names.

    What source do you use as file transport to feed your DAC?

    I run a pretty fully decked out Mac Mini with Pure Music on top of iTunes feeding an AURALiC Vega via USB.

    Ayre QB-9 problem

    So what was the root cause of the problem Steve? Did you have it upgraded to work with DSD? Just curious.

    Brilliant new iPhone app will keep you messaging even when there’s no Internet

    With a range of only 30 feet, why on earth wouldn't you just just talk to someone instead of texting them?

    New PS Audio Directstream DAC

    The Colorado Audio Society held its February meeting at PS Audio this past Saturday, and we got to walk through a very thorough technical presentation and finally have an opportunity to listen to this DAC over Paul's IRS based system. It was a jaw dropping type of product demonstration. I...

    Looking for Suggestions on DAC Under $3K

    I've recently picked up an Audiolab M-DAC that I've been putting through its paces. My old Dodson DA-217 didn't do Hi-Rez, so it's opening a new world for me. Thus far I'm extremely pleased. In addition to the USB input, there's 1 optical and 2 coaxial inputs as well, selectable filters and a...

    How do you count your records?

    Yep, me too, I count by titles only. I DO record different versions or editions of the same title as separate entities in my database.

    Banshee-Season 1 Episode 1

    I watched the season finale this morning and agree with Steve - I was on the edge of my seat through most of it. My only disappointment is that the season is over! It has certainly become one of my favorite shows, especially as the characters and sub-plots have continued to emerge. Very...

    Banshee-Season 1 Episode 1

    I am likewise all caught up and very much looking forward to the final show of the season. I believe that it has gotten better with each episode as the characters develop further, to the point where it is now one of my favorite TV shows (just a notch or two below "The Walking Dead" and...

    List Some Of Your Favorite Foreign Films With English Subtitles

    Last night my wife and I watched "The Intouchables", a French film about a man who takes a job as a caretaker of a wealthy quadriplegic. This is one of the most touching, funny films I've seen in years and based on a true story. Just fantastic!

    Banshee-Season 1 Episode 1

    I've got to catch up! I was able to watch episodes 1-3 but then a heavy travel schedule has interrupted the fun. Time to find some "me" time.

    B&W 800D DIY Speakers - you've got to see this!

    Very impressive indeed, beautiful work. I know it's a terrible admission, but I couldn't help thinking that the level of effort should have been coupled with better electronics than the Emotiva gear shown at the end. I don't mean to sound like a snob, but the speakers looked like works of art!

    What Is It That You Are A Collector Of

    As a kid I collected stamps with my dad and my brother and I collected arrowheads we would find with my grandfather on trips out on the plains of Colorado. I remember keeping them in a wooden cigar box my grandfather had given us. As time passed I lost track of them. My grandfather passed away...

    What portable headphone amps are people using?

    I just picked up an ALO Continental V2 and one of their Cricket LOD cables to use with my iPod Classic and B&W P5's for when I travel (every other week or so). The Continental uses a Raytheon NOS 6111 tube and once I put about 20 hours on the unit I was stunned at how good it sounds. I've been...

    Most under-rated guitarist of all time?

    Agreed with regard to Richard Thompson. Similarly I'd add Ry Cooder.

    AESTHETIX Io

    I have the Rhea and find it very satisfying. If I had the Io I'd probably never leave the house. You're a fortunate man!

    Who's got the Best Male Voice in Rock, or Pop?

    Agreed, and along the same lines and time period, I think Harry Nielson has always been under appreciated.

    Who's got the Best Male Voice in Rock, or Pop?

    I think Jason Mraz is certainly one of the best of the current singers out there.

    The Hunger Games

    I'm with Steve, I hope that it doesn't just end up being a sappy adaptation. I want it to be successful, but not in the manner of the Twilight series. My was told me about this book when she first started reading it last Christmas Eve. While it's classified as young adult fiction when I bought...

    Anyone Want To Talk NFL Playoffs And Superbowl Predictions

    I believe that my Broncos will clinch the Western Division with a win today and possibly win a first round game. Ultimately it will be the Ravens and Packers in the Super Bowl and the Packers will win.

    Banned for life....what's your story?

    I'm a moderator on another forum and while I have banned a few folks it's never because they have expressed a contrary opinion. I can honestly say that I've only banned spammers, folks who have posted racist or sexist remarks or have threatened another member (hard to believe I know but I've...
