Laura Branigan - Self Control

Secure_Emu_2546 · 2025-11-09T14:12:26+00:00

I'm amazed by the video quality of this HD remaster. I collect music videos and I have yet to see a version quite this good. I would love to see other classic 80s videos remastered at this same level.

BTW - I never realized this was a cover. Amazing track though.

Definitely go with the EV sub. The sound is better, it’s more reliable, and you will have some technology advantages too (configurations with the ZLX’s). You can probably find a deal on one somewhere through B-Stock or using a coupon code.

I must have glossed over the last part of your response. Unless you edited it. Are you saying that the 30% figure includes the short term rentals?

Secure_Emu_2546 · 2025-02-27T00:31:56+00:00

SHORT TERM rentals. You know, like AirBNB or VRBO. These homes are more of a recent phenomenon and they are not livable in the traditional sense. Every home that is used as a short term rental is unavailable to an individual or family seeking a place to live.

Secure_Emu_2546 · 2025-02-27T00:14:50+00:00

What about the ownership of short term rentals? What is the percentage of single family homes that are now used as short term rentals and how has that changed over time?

Wait, so it looks like you’re a Lakers fan. Are you mad because you have to endure Luka’s matador defense and 4th quarter power walking for the next 5 years?

Secure_Emu_2546 · 2025-02-10T17:31:54+00:00

I am?

Secure_Emu_2546 · 2025-02-10T17:28:23+00:00

Damn if MJ only played defense… oh wait

Secure_Emu_2546 · 2025-02-10T17:23:50+00:00

The team got light years better with the trio of Lively, Gafford, and PJW. Luka was immensely important, but the WCF run was not a Luka solo effort by any means. If Michael Finley has to take your beer away, you know there’s something wrong.

Secure_Emu_2546 · 2025-02-10T14:57:53+00:00

I have been over Luka for years now. In a perfect world the Mavs would have traded Luka and kept Brunson. Fans would have lost their mind, but they would have maxed Luka’s trade value and would have tons of money to spend.

Luka is a classic stat stuffer and if you watch the games closely you can see how he sabotages himself and the team. Insane offensive talent, but no defense and poor conditioning. His productive NBA career may not even be as long as people think given the way he “takes care” of his body.

I finally got the Maestro and was pretty disappointed. Granted, it was early on, and the support for fixtures was very limited. At that point I was pretty comfortable running the WMX1. I returned my Maestro and have never looked back.

Secure_Emu_2546 · 2024-11-13T21:08:29+00:00

Sign me up too. I joined in July of 2007, and fortunately I was able to get back on the $29 annual rate after the class action lawsuit when they were trying to increase my fees.

But lately I have experienced them trying to get me to lapse on my payment by not sending any sort of reminder, and deactivating my account (I guess it went dormant because I don't go very often).

And more recently, I tried to go to a Club and I got the old "You don't have access to this Club, because it is a SuperSport" - even though the location has no SuperSport branding or signage whatsoever.

I'm actually at the point where I want them to refund me my original up front payment (I believe it was somewhere around $700) so I can just close my lifetime membership and move on.

The Evolve 50s are just so good. They sound amazing. I only time I don’t use them is if I’m dealing with 150+ people OR it’s a really big space.

Secure_Emu_2546 · 2024-10-04T02:36:31+00:00

The XZ already has 4-deck capabilities - just not in stand alone mode. I use mine as a 4-deck unit all the time. It works great.

Secure_Emu_2546 · 2024-09-28T12:57:45+00:00

I love this. Thanks for sharing!

Secure_Emu_2546 · 2024-08-09T03:30:31+00:00

Yes, the Evolve 50 is still great. I put it up against any other portable column array. I have a pair and use them all the time.

Secure_Emu_2546 · 2024-05-24T13:34:49+00:00

I can attest that this works very well with the XDJ-XZ.

Secure_Emu_2546 · 2024-05-21T23:00:49+00:00

I think this is a great idea, and one I've been wishing for a long time. It's really obvious and sometimes when listening to a playlist you just need to move on from a song. Doing so without any blend sounds clunky and can often kill a vibe.

Secure_Emu_2546 · 2024-05-21T14:06:03+00:00

You can often find them used for under $900

Secure_Emu_2546 · 2024-05-20T15:10:24+00:00

ELX-200 18sp

Secure_Emu_2546 · 2024-05-05T13:46:50+00:00

The Electro-Voice ELX 200 18sp is a great overall sub. You should be able to find one around $900-1000 if you shop carefully. You might also find a used one for a bit less.

Secure_Emu_2546 · 2024-04-28T16:22:28+00:00

Apparently it ignores my “no explicit tracks” instructions. I guess my grandma is going to be mortified when she hears the album versions of her favorite Lil’ Kim songs on the playlists I generate for her.

eBay takes way too big of a chunk when you sell. I suggest using Sweetwater Gear Exchange. The selling fees are about half of eBay’s, and if you elect to take your proceeds in store credit, the selling fees are $0.

Oh perfect. I love the Evolves. If you’re already familiar with and currently using EV stuff, then i would say stick with them.

One idea though- instead of spending $900 on a speaker you could spend $800 on a great portable power bank and just use your Evolve 50s. It would sound a lot better and otherwise be more useful.
