I use an Adcom separate power and preamp with Newform Research Ribbon speakers. No sub. Yep McCartney's bass playing needs good deep detailed bass. He didn't just thump away.
Carole King is brilliant. That is all.
I had a friend who had a ton of disposable income and wanted to get into audio. He spent around 10 grand on his first system. 3 grand for his CD player alone. Then I convinced him to buy the Rega 'table you see above. $499 complete with cartridge.
His first words to me after I let him "settle in" with his new system for a month were "how is it possible that my $500 turntable sounds better than my $3000 CD player?"
I just smiled and said "good you're learning." Analogue rules!
If a record is recorded using analogue tech as opposed to digital and pressed on high quality vinyl there is nothing better in terms of sound. The biggest problem these days is that a lot of music is digitally recorded, mixed and mastered. If that is the case you gain nothing sonically from pressing it to vinyl as opposed to making a CD.
Analogue vinyl > CD > High Quality MP3 >>> streaming services > streaming services played back through bluetooth devices. That last one being the audio equivalent of two tin cans tied together with a piece of string.
Love the rig Blakeanator. If I were to consider another desktop it would probably be an Alienware. I really need to get back to my books. Haven't bought a physical book since Under the Dome but I have hundreds of digital Sci Fi, Fantasy and Horror novels unread along with a shitload of graphic novels.
I really need to start scheduling shit. LOL
That is my understanding. I may grab Doom too since the original is the only FPS I ever invested a lot of time on. I think Unreal comes in second in that category.
Yep, hate to jinx it but this one has been fine since I started following the A. Turn on TV, B. make sure HDMI is set to 1, C. Turn on PS4 D. Turn on Controller.
Then I power it off completely every time from the menu and then turn off the TV.
I'm not getting to use it much since my son spends all his time in the game room Maybe this weekend I'll get some time with it.
Typical SMT
I hate to type this out loud but the second one has been fine since I unplugged everything and left it off for a while. But I also follow a strict boot up process where the TV is turned on first and I confirm it is set to the right HDMI port. Then and only then do I push the power button.
Then at the end of a session it is turned off completely and not put into rest mode.
So far that has been working for me.
Loved the first episode of King's Quest. I have episode 2 but I didn't get around to playing it yet.
I love your blogs and would especially like to hear about more bad Wii games. I'd also like to hear which ones you deem worthy of a playthrough.
