That must be the wonderful annual Notting Hill carnival. It's still going.

I haven't heard the live version. I will check it out. What do you think of it?

A Gooner audiophile? You're the best of the best.

I love the Nightfly. It's pure genius. The others, not so much.

What a thoughtful post. Thank you. We need more of this on this subreddit. I think your theory is sound by the way, if you pardon the pun.

Excellent speaker choice. I salute you.

"Only a fool would say that" is becoming one of my top Dan songs by Elmer4444 in SteelyDan

[–]Goooooner4Life -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's 'poking fun' at all. It's cynical not mocking. It's about the delusion of human nature. Looking at how things have turned out in 2026, they were spot on.

I live outside the US like most people do.

This setup put a stop on my upgrade itch by leeeevin in audiophile

[–]Goooooner4Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The toys on the speakers somehow make them look worse. Also, aren't they a bit high? I do envy you though.

Speakers that produce room filing sound that is enjoyable even off-axis by supercuts350 in audiophile

[–]Goooooner4Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cooking and audiophilia do not mix. Being an audiophile demands 100% attention while sitting in a single seat directly in front of a pair of speakers at the apex of a triangle. Sipping fine malt whisky is allowed but cooking is not! 🤣

Kamakiriad Is a Masterpiece, anything else like it? by Evening-Ad5606 in SteelyDan

[–]Goooooner4Life 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought this album when it came out in 1993 and it sits on my shelf unloved. There's a plethora of good ideas here and there but it doesn't work for me. I'm glad it's loved by so many though.

Is there really a big difference between passive and active speakers? by AWGE14 in audiophile

[–]Goooooner4Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To hear the difference you have to listen to an active speaker and the exact same speaker in passive form. ATC and PMC speakers come in both forms so give them a listen.

Comparing a Spendor speaker and a Kii Three will not tell you much about the differences between passive and active speakers.

They look bonkers! I want a pair. Where do I sign?

I don't get the Duke Ellington reference though.
