With “wonder kids” like Daren in the mix there is a bright future for the advancement of the hobby. A highly educated and passionate fresh perspective on old problems is always nice to see.

Britain was weird in the 70s.
And the 80s, come to that.

A great story. I’ve read the first 42 chapter segment. I’ll read the rest for sure: can’t stop.
Can’t wait to buy the Vidar 2 in the spring for my outside system. I have all the other pieces in place: cables, headphone/pre-amp, etc.

There are only three major problems with vinyl. How it’s recorded, how it’s manufactured, and how it’s played. Of course, each of them cover dozens of sub-problems.

I’ll never forget the first time I listened to Real Compared to What. RIP Les.
A college room mate preferred this version, which to my ears was a bit of a hot mess.

This quote struck me as unique.
For a few years in the nineteen-seventies, progressive-rock bands filled arenas with music that emphasized grandeur and complication;
Having seen Yes and Jethro Tull in the '70’s; having owned Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Genesis, and Pink Floyd albums and having listened to so many other bands, I never recalled them being labeled as “progressive rock”. Perhaps “art house” rock or some ridiculous category. It’s so strange to look back on that era nowadays.
Interesting article.
NASA was always so cool. This is what makes science so interesting.

Imagine trying to park at a jetway with that “beak” and “only” cameras to see where you’re going … Yes, I know it’s high resolution, but pilots with ultra high resolution eyes have enough trouble parking and taxiing regular jets with their minuscule proboscis.
