Very helpful, thank you!

So I turned around and forty thousand headmen hit the dirt
Firing twenty shotguns each and man, it really hurt
But luckily for me they had to stop and then reload
And by the time they'd done that I was heading down the road
Traffic

I had forgotten how heady it was but a bunch of
really good tunes that you couldn't avoid tapping along to, or
assuming you knew how, playing the air guitar.

next Steve Winwood

had a nice lunch with my brother in Lahaska and now just some quality time with tunes.
Just waiting on that snow to melt...

That whole album was great. I knew the song on the first line!
Other greats are Can't find my way home and Back in the high life again

Ry Cooder’s “Paradise and Lunch” might have been the first digitally recorded album, and isn’t bad. But it was recorded at a high sample rate and mastered to vinyl.

CD’s have had the same sample rate (44.1k) and bit depth (16 bit) since they were introduced.
My multi track recorder is 96k at 24 bit, but if I create a CD from a recording, it gets down sampled to 44.1/16.
In my opinion trying to get “audiophile guality” from a CD, or worse yet, a streamed mp3 is a fool’s errand.
You can get good, even great sound, depending on the source material, but with the typical source, the differences in conversion hardware is pretty much moot.
Having said that I have a large library of vinyl that rarely gets played, because streaming to the Bluetooth receiver in my tractor is hands down more convenient.
But Drew, you are welcome to stop by and hear Cream on vinyl that totally bypasses and eliminates the errors introduced by digital conversion.

Good Afternoon,
40° and grey out there, been that way all day.

Today was pretty much consumed by the checkride I didn’t do last week due to the weather. It’s an hour drive to Philly, then I’ve got to fly to Allentown to meet with the FAA.
First the maintenance inspectors look at the plane and its records to make sure it’s compliant. Then I get the oral exam on systems and regulations. Then we get to fly. This repeats every six months, but only once a year in the turboprop, the jet gets done in a simulator.
I can’t help but wonder how it would go over if lawyers had to take the bar exam every six months, or any other profession.

I had to postpone my breakfast with the professor until tomorrow so I could get it done.

But I feel like a free man for the next 6 months.

It got up to 49° today, now 41°.
Exceeded my expected accomplishments for the day, which was 0. Wife handed me some stuff to clean in the ultrasonic cleaner. Other than that paid some bills, did a bunch of record keeping stuff, like trying to track down the location of all my SD cards.
Tiger wanted to keep messing with the christmas tree. Wish it was down.

No heat pump fix bah humbug

The first digitally recorded album was Ry Cooder’s “Bop till you Drop”, not Paradise and Lunch. I had a bit of brain fart and confused them.

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 12.5C and it's presently 18.9C, rainy overcast & fairly calm. I'll check the gauge tomorrow as the rain has pretty much just started.

Paddock #1 chain-harrowed & mulched yesterday arvo. The Mad Agisting Horse Woman & Daughter went on a surprisingly long ride... it was supposed to be for about an hour & a half but lasted 4 hours. I was getting concerned.

Today is 'into town' day for mail/groceries, then, later, I need to go over to Ross for an evening meeting. I'm looking at getting back home by 2100.

That's about it, take care all.

So we are at mid 60F and instead of concerns for frozen pipes we have flood warnings. The creeks are risin'!

Had to catch up on my current events this morning at coffee. Haven't gone since the weather went cold but today had some pretty hot political gossip. I'll forgo any retelling as politics should stay off limits in GM.

I got word that my Dad's last remaining sister passed away and will be buried Saturday. I'll be attending the funeral. She was 90 and the youngest of her siblings.

Stay warm, dry and well fed everyone!

Two bit, my condolences.

So sorry two_bit_score praying for you

Ken, thanks for great explanation.
what I stream on the "audiophile" YT channels so far
has sounded much more live and realistic than the cds.
well at least cd's won't wear out.

I also find I like close miked studio recordings better than live.
Seems the music gets lost in crowd noise and also all that "reverb" noise is hard on my tinnitus.
folks who like classical music want that big sound stage and
classical at least you don't deal with a noisy audience

I used to have Sibelius Sym 2. Need to find that again.
I really know very little about classical music, opera, anything particularly old or cultured.

It does sound nice, always liked the wind instruments
the clear sound of an oboe or bassoon, but you don't often hear them close miked and really up front and personal
unless they are solos vs part of a big orchestra
though I'm sure if I googled oboe music I'd find it.

good idea about Amazon music. I have a smart tv in rv and unlimited wifi so
time to "track" that down. There is also Pandora and many more, whoever has least amount
of commercials gets my nod

RNG, slow and steady wins the race. Remember to have fun every day. Pretty sure you are good at that.

There are certain live recordings that are superior to the studio version, simply because of the energy. My two best examples are Billy Joel’s live “Miami 2017” on Songs From The Attic and Skynyrd’s live “Freebird”.

but most live recordings are not as good as the studio.

Rolling Stones “Get yer YaYa’ s out” comes to mind. Hard to replicate the energy of a live performance in the studio.

Has anyone received their check from the Apple iPhone settlement this month?

I didn't get an iPhone check but I did get a check for $25 from an IKEA settlement. My wife wanted to stop and after waiting in the truck I went in to see if they had any snacks. I bought some good candy and that resulted in me getting the check.
