I mean, that Johnny Cash cover album was a far cry from the originals, yet it was one of the best albums released that year.

Why bother making a cover at all if ut is an exact duplicate of the readily available original?

Another bit of evidence that Rock & Roll has died... In a debate with a good friend about the death of RnR, he sent me a link to the video below: This guy does an amazing job of recording a cover of Jethro Tull's brilliant "Nothing is Easy," making a note for note copy of the original...

Based solely on your comments, I restate what I said before. Star Trek was never an action show, other than "Enterprise" and "Discovery." The interesting stuff in nearly all Star Trek series were ideas, concepts, allegory, and classical struggles of the human condition.

Maybe, "Baroque-esque"

I believe that's called "Baroque-like" or "tribute to the Baroque era".

Another dead music genre.

Well, thank you, brother. I've been listening to quite a bit of Power Pop today, things like Jellyfish, Cheap Trick, Bangles, Bleu, Fountains of Wayne, and Jason Falkner.

You are reminiscing about the past. That is perfectly fine. I also listen to 50's jazz combo music, baroque music, and romantic period opera. Don't confuse comment about a genre of Rock & Roll being dead with saying that period of music isn't great.

There is an industry producing new Reel recordings, but they are expensive. Most hard-core reel-heads make their own live recordings of performances they attend, and there's a tape trading community out there (one reason most reel-heads own two machines, to make copies).

Have any of you noticed that audio nerds who own a Reel-to-Reel always always own four to ten Reel-to-Reel machines?

Sometimes it is just time to retire. I just feel sorry for Phil.

There's some useful and trustworthy measurements here: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/buchardt-s400-on-and-off-axis-measurements-and-the-benefits-of-manufacturer-data.10075/

I'll add, I believe they are so popular right now mostly because they don't obviously color the sound sound in the midrange and still have a strong, boosted bass which gives them the perception of being much larger than they are.

This week I got the opportunity to listen to a pair of Buchardt S400 bookshelf speakers, which the hip audiophile crowd is going ga-ga over at present. https://www.buchardtaudio.com/shop/s400-white The pair I was able to hear were setup in a nice large performance room in a recording studio...

I've said it before, and I'm saying it now: The most important technology of our lifetimeis the Lithium ION Battery. Here's a great discussion about that and what's coming next. I did not know the guy responsible for Li-ION batteries was also core to the invention of RAM.

Okay space science nerds... this is very interesting!

The legendary Nick Lowe reminding us that all men are liars!

pretty crazy, eh?

Really enjoying this concert of Rick Wakeman performing "The Six Wives of Henry VIII" with a full orchestra and choir! Brings back fond memories of playing along with this and his other records when I was learning to play drums and I wanted to work on my ability to quickly memorize songs. My...
