^^ ha, that is what I was going to say - reminds me of my 300sei (then it went silent).

Would like to try.

New Space doc dropped.

There is some amp porn included. Checking out the recent Vienna show. Lot more ribbon/electrostatic than I would have expected.

Pardon My French by Eva Hummingbird (2026) https://open.qobuz.com/album/vecdu49h53cl8 Example: New to me - I really liked this series of vignettes by Eva, mostly violin based, but not strictly.

^^ still one of the great soundtracks. Edit: This should be in the movie section - but thought I would drop it here.

Bœuf Talk (sorry vegans): Fore Part Deux: Hind UK Edit: oops, not a TV show, don't feel like moving it. 😎

Hmm, I just played it without really looking at what it was, and my thought was, 'Cool, a The Sundays tune I had not heard before.' Oh, it is a band I didn't know about that sounds like them, even better.

RIP Peabo Bryson... 75.. 😔

wait, is that just your neighbors garden? ” they are just growing wild honey.”

The Awakening by Ahmad Jamal (1970) https://open.qobuz.com/album/ej9qdgi86b2ma Example: Rich and meaty set..

Ouch.. -- from a published article (august 1981)

Because reasons... Speaking of friends of the thread. Way Out West by Sonny Rollins (1957) https://open.qobuz.com/album/0088807201473 Example: My first Sonny album I purchased, heavy vinyl from 1992 Analogue Productions. Always stuck. And lives in my queue rent free. I looked and I had three others in my queue, so they just moved to the top. RIP Sonny... 'n thx...

I had her new album in my queue and then this showed up. so Let X=X by Laurie Anderson (2026) https://open.qobuz.com/album/syta310h4wo50 Example - Just the album opener: Always a treat to have more Laurie.

Finally getting to this one, under a year - not bad. (since it is your birthday). --Copland: Fanfare for the Common Man, Appalachian Spring & Symphony No. 3 by Minnesota Orchestra (2012) https://open.qobuz.com/album/ip2njewvqsrsa I do wish for a high bitrate, but the performance and recording are first rate.

Cheers Rob -- Happy Birthday's -

Gemini says: Design & Build The "Basic" Aesthetic: "They look like the default headphones NPCs wear in a low-budget video game from 2017." The Fingerprint Magnet: "These headphones have a better memory for my oily fingerprints than I do for my passwords." The Plastic Fantastic: "They cost a fortune but feel like they were made in a factory that primarily produces budget-bin lunchboxes." The 'Incognito' Look: "They’re perfect if your goal is to look like an IT support worker who hasn't seen the sun in three fiscal quarters." Function & Tech The Touch Controls: "Sony’s touch controls are like a social experiment to see how quickly a user can accidentally skip a song while trying to pause it." The Noise Cancellation: "The noise cancellation is so good, it’s the only thing keeping you from realizing that the music you're listening to is actually trash." The 'Smart' Features: "They have so many 'smart' features that they spend more time trying to figure out what I’m doing than actually playing my music." The "Wait, What?" Mode: "The 'Speak-to-Chat' feature is the technological equivalent of a nosy neighbor who won't stop interrupting you to ask if you're okay." The "Audiophile" Perspective The Sound Profile: "They sound like they were tuned by someone who thinks 'warm and balanced' is a synonym for 'underwater.'" The Price Tag: "The best part about these headphones is how they make you feel—mostly poor, but at least you can't hear anyone asking you for a loan."

yep

Mozart: Piano Concertos Nos. 20 & 21 by Friedrich Gulda (1975) https://open.qobuz.com/album/fp84x72ff06ca Example (One I could find): I have been checking out Gulda's work recently, including some of his jazz work. This is very nice, I may not agree with all of his choices, but with Abbado and the Weiner/Vienna behind you it is hard to stray too far. Also being some of my favorite works does not hurt. The 1975 recording is a little thin, but not in a distracting way. The 24/192 on qobuz helps as well.
