Well, this is the first time I've heard the whole song! And here's the lyrics so you can sing along! Our whole universe was in a hot dense state Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started (wait) The Earth began to cool The autotrophs began to drool Neanderthals developed...

This does make me sad; I dearly love my 5.1 system, and both movies and concerts are generally sold in at least 5.1, but hardly any music is anymore. And you're right, most of the pre-pros/non-HT receivers now sold (Yamaha, NAD, etc) are strictly stereo (don't know if I've ever seen a 5.1 DAC...)

Been on a old Santana kick lately, and that's a good thing. :cool:

RIP Greg Lake. I just learned of his passing from a short clip on EweTube from his wife. Being we're in December, this is an appropriate song to post... EDIT: I made a mistake; Mr. Lake passed in 2016. I don't know what I saw on YT that made me think otherwise...

Congrats, and you suck! :toast:

Played this in Jr High jazz band, and drove my Dad crazy trying to learn it all on my Mom’s upright piano; I’m 65 now. This track still kills, what a fantastic recording!

Hey Dog! I still would, but I'm a Yamaha guy, if you're happy with your Onkyo, and you already know its quirks... $750 is the regular price for the Yamaha, Crutchfield put it on sale for $599 twice while I was considering the purchase, and with Black Friday coming up you may see it at $599...

For anyone still looking to a new TV, Caleb just posted a short, HiSense TVs are ridiculously cut right now at Amazoid & Bestbuy (want a 98" QLED for less than $1,000?) :oops:

This kinda follows the Jacob Collier arrangement, but the fact that they did it live blew me away. And then the fact that it’s a high school chorus, well, what can you say?? I’ve watched this three times now and have teared up every time. (I can’t use the “post video” on this forum lately...

27 years ago I watched the Big Bang Theory, enjoyed related to the show quite a bit. It's now popped up on my EweTube Teevee and I'm watching a few episodes I haven't seen before (Life in the Fast Lane!) One thing I never understood was the theme song's line "The albatross began to drool, we...

Helluva room treatment! When's the GTG?

If I didn't already have two Amazoid Echoes, this thing would be very tempting; can run any music service!

Looks heavy.

New discovery for me, thanks to the Dead Wax ewetube channel. Incredibly dense and precise vocal harmonies, kind've a country-rock-CA sound. Turns out it's a brother-sister duo; having been raised in the Donnie-n-Marie era, that kinda raised the "ick" factor for me, but the music is very good.

Not a huge KISS fan here, but a talented bass player I worked with in Albuquerque turned me on to some of their music, in '87-'92. Saw them here in UT, the tour where the original members rejoined and put the makeup back on. My date stood me up, but I went anyway and was absolutely floored by...
