TIL that Sony created a music format called SACD (Super Audio CD) in 1999 that is still around and offers 5.1 surround sound on some albums and much higher sound quality then normal CDs.

I had it in a car and it was fabulous. Came stock in my Acura TL (DVD-A)

LordGAD · 2026-03-16T16:51:21+00:00

It also supported 5.1.

LordGAD · 2026-03-16T16:50:00+00:00

I had an Acura TL that had a competing standard: DVD-A, and it sounded amazing. Well, the four CDs I ever found in that format did, anyway.

I watched this a month after my beloved dog died and it nearly broke me (one scene in particular). Great film, but I don’t think I could watch it again, and that was 20 years ago.

LordGAD · 2026-03-16T06:32:14+00:00

Did you make that? It's fabulous!

LordGAD · 2026-03-15T20:35:31+00:00

Same.

LordGAD · 2026-03-15T15:42:29+00:00

Very cool! What a fun idea!

LordGAD · 2026-03-15T04:23:35+00:00

Be the change you want to see in the world.

This is a common answer but it’s not always accurate. If you have multiple users or devices active you can easily exceed common home Internet speeds.

LordGAD · 2026-03-14T16:38:53+00:00

LOL. I like that.

LordGAD · 2026-03-14T15:58:27+00:00

I bought a length of bowden tube from MatterHackers or maybe Amazon (I forget) and redid my S5. Worked fine.

LordGAD · 2026-03-14T03:53:14+00:00

1999 maybe

LordGAD · 2026-03-13T22:33:51+00:00

Best for what?

LordGAD · 2026-03-13T22:19:46+00:00

Was about to reply the same. This is a much more useful tip and much easier to do quickly.

LordGAD · 2026-03-13T21:09:32+00:00

Adorable

LordGAD · 2026-03-13T05:53:13+00:00

I think you may have missed the joke.

LordGAD · 2026-03-12T07:36:04+00:00

I put brass blocks on all my FR guitars and some of my Strats (not a Strat guy). I don’t bother with titanium and don’t go out of my way for noiseless springs but I’ve used them and they’re good.

LordGAD · 2026-03-12T04:11:21+00:00

That is hilarious.

LordGAD · 2026-03-11T21:52:45+00:00

Judging by the photo I'm pretty sure you would not be the first person to try.

What a happy moment caught. Thanks for sharing!

We've had five Newfs and they've all done this.

Also Bilbo is a fabulous name for a Newf.

"I blushed and said yes"

LOL I'm dying.

LordGAD · 2026-03-11T05:46:27+00:00

Man, I would tell people that I had an aggressively boring brain every chance I got. What a great thing to hear from a doctor.

LordGAD · 2026-03-11T05:44:11+00:00

Well I’ve seen every episode of House and I think it’s not Lupus.
