That's incredible... I thought you were on a ski slope, until I saw the basketball hoop!

Natalie Prass Nice Tidal discovery

The system you had that you thought was decent at the time was much better than the system I had that I thought was decent at the time! And pretty amazing that you had the RECORD, and could actually play it! Edit: Good to see you, Steve! Have missed you!

Carl, that is awesome, the one and only 8 track tape that my parents actually owned was of the 1812 overture. So I would also sit in front of the family console and listen to the 1812 overture overt and over! Do you remember the Telarc recording in the 1980s that came with a warning that the cannon shots could damage your stereo equipment?.

I have an old Technics SL-D3 in my basement that worked as of a few years ago. Yours for the cost of a drive over. Edit: Nix that. Forgot, I gave it to my neighbor a few months ago. Damn.

I don't know about you, but those school cancelations would throw the parents' schedule completely off! Scary stuff - good luck, and stay safe!

My parents’ Zenith furniture console with built in automatic turntable and 8 track tape, and ‘high fidelity stereo, letting you experience music as if you were there.’ So cool. My all in one Sharp console with automatic turntable, lit up tuner, cassette, and two speakers that I had to connect to the console. Then my upgrade to JVC ribbon tweeter speakers hooked up to said all in one console. So cool! Going to the library as a kid and recording (pirating) many records onto cassettes. Luckily the RIAA didn’t come after us for A MILLION DOLLARS (in best Dr. Evil voice). Normal, Chrome, and … Metal. Later, DBX. Very cool. Subscribed to Stereo Review and Audio magazine and read them cover to cover every month. Visiting Audio Consultants in Evanston in college, wandering around with no money, and pushing the auto reverse button on the Nakamichi Dragon, making the cassette pop out, flip around, and go back in. So very cool. Subscribed to Stereophile Magazine and read it cover to cover. I remember enjoying an ad for a place that sold headphones and headphone related stuff. I couldn’t understand why people would spend that kind of money on headphones, but the ads were so funny and self-effacing, that I’d look forward reading the ads just for the fun of reading the ads. ‘Because we’re headphone people!’ (That’s not quite right, someone help me.) Getting an NAD receiver and KEF bookshelf speakers as a med student. Still have them today! A little cool. Visiting a high end store in Columbus, OH and seeing/hearing a four tower speaker system, the Infinity Beta. Two towers of tweeter and midrange ribbons and two towers of dynamic bass drivers. Life changing cool. Having a small salary as a resident, and mastering the art of finding high quality used equipment. I bought a 15 year old Krell amp from Saturday Audio Exchange and drove to Wisconsin to buy a pair of out-of-business-old Apogee Centaurs off the newspaper classifieds. Fantastically cool. Ah, memories!

Take a look at Interventional Radiology, in particular Nuclear Medicine.

Happy birthdays!

Happy birthday, Mike! Boy, we really have a lot to celebrate! Must clear my schedule ...

Belle and Sebastian Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance

Hmmm...

Horrible, sorry! Yeah, I got the shot in November and got the flu in December. Awful stuff. For us, just completed the first half of 48 straight hours of kid sleepovers. Just finished the girl one. The boys should arrive in an hour. Help me!

Happy birthday!

Wow. I wish I could create music like that! Nice instrument, Ryan!

Tidal discovery. Steve Martin and Edie Brickell Love Has Come For You If you like New Grass, Steve Martin is a surprisingly good banjo player and songwriter. Renaissance man.

Definitely overdue, Mike!

Thanks, all! I mostly ate a lot. Over the weekend, the family took me out for King Crab legs. Then the day of, had buffalo wings and a big, greasy, cheese bacon BBQ sauce burger. Then a promise of more great restaurants all year, because I needed to be cheered up extra to get over being the big five-oh. Yikes! Oh yes then Anne couldn't find a Cavaliers cake, so got a ... ugh. .. Bulls cake!

Would love to have a remote control for Android to control the Mac client. Was starting to enjoy that Spotify had that built in as a native feature.

I use the mac app to DAC with nice results. Haven't tried Chrome. The android app skips on hifi setting for me, but sounds good enough on high quality setting for my phone.

My ickstream stopped working on NY Eve to NY day. I had to reinstall/ reconfigure like new, then it worked again. No idea why.

Happy Birthday Jacob!

Happy New Year everyone!

Oh my. Nice job, Bryan!

Happy birthday!
