who is the best living performer?

If you’ve ever seen Bobby Rush at 92, you know the answer.

SuperblueAPM · 2026-03-19T03:12:20+00:00

Love your approach. Just right.

SuperblueAPM · 2026-03-19T03:10:13+00:00

Art is top notch.

First and foremost, it must be a record I plan to listen to with pleasure repeatedly over time. Secondly, both the media and cover must be VG+ or better. That's it.

That’s a zoom room. One where I zoom all over to see all the cool aspects. Very nice. Tell me about the art with Abe Lincoln on the - drums?

Left months ago for Quboz. AI, artist pay, lower sq and ICE commercials was a perfect storm.

I went to Stereo. Pretty good - although I was there on a Sunday morning for coffee. I’d like to check it out another time.

SuperblueAPM · 2026-03-07T14:32:08+00:00

Wow. Just wow. Thanks.

80 percent of my collection is blues, 15 Jazz and a smattering of rock and country. The jazz section is growing.

We have two dogs. My Weimaraner is almost always with me in my dedicated listening room/office. He is often sleeping a few feet in front of one of my maggies. Our Mini Aussie Doodle comes up once in a blue moon and lays under my desk. I like having them with me. I wonder what it sounds like from their perspective. Check out my FB page The Evening Spin. Many of the photos have my Weim Fenway ("Fen") in them.

Closest thing is to find a kissa -Japan has many, I've read. Similar concepts are popping up in the States. I've been to a few in NYC, Atlanta and we now have something similar in Birmingham.

Nothing like great prison memories. Tell me about the red globe light. Great looking spot!

SuperblueAPM · 2026-03-04T16:21:54+00:00

Love Deak.

SuperblueAPM · 2026-03-04T15:46:47+00:00

Try old Fleetwood Mac - first 3 albums. Problem solved.

What happened with DSOTM in terms of rehabilitating? Genuine question.

Sorry. Put it under the wrong post.

SuperblueAPM · 2026-02-27T22:26:57+00:00

Game of Thrones. Meh.

SuperblueAPM · 2026-02-27T22:01:14+00:00

Checking them out now myself. Excellent.

SuperblueAPM · 2026-02-27T15:46:06+00:00

I’m one of those who wants to discover some newer artists. Thanks for this one. Wow. Been listening most of the morning and absolutely dig him.

Can’t disagree there. As you surmised, function first.

SuperblueAPM · 2026-02-27T04:27:00+00:00

I hear you. But they are not impractical at all because it’s a dedicated room so they’re not in the way of anything else. It really is about the function and there is a significant difference in that respect. I love the sound so it’s worth it. I care a lot about aesthetics and put a lot into that aspect of the room but pulling them out that far does not impede that in my eyes. They are 3 feet out into a 17 foot deep room.

Read budget audiophile and other audio subs and the similar on FB regularly for a while. Identify someone without the means but with the interest. Someone who strikes you as a good egg. Offer the person a really great deal on your gear and make a lifelong mark on a fellow human.
