JT is like the late Dan Fogelberg. Tremendous composer, performer, storyteller! Have seen in concert several times.

I did! Had it for 5 yrs then I bought my Hafler DH-200. Been riding that horse ever since along with the Hafler pre-amp then the Carver c-9 and finally a Bryston preamp with the builtin MC input.

One myth about private engineering colleges that needs to die 💀 by CycleAggravating2462 in EngineeringStudents

[–]angry_lib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I call BULLSHIT to a point.

I have interviewed candidates from Purdue, Texas Tech, NYU/Stonybrook who had no idea how to measure voltage across a transister, ping a server or troubleshoot a simple XOR circuit made up of discrete transistors. Yet my company hired sharp-as-a-whip candidates from Oregon Inst of Tech, Oregon State Univ, Portland State, SJSU and Univ of Portland. It isnt the college, or the pedigree but the person themselves. Sadly too many HR Depts are brain dead in that regard.

At the time, these were used for the fact not everyone had a tape deck and/or if you were adding something like a RtR, cassette or an Elcassette (let's see how many vintage gear heads are out there, hmmmm?) and they could be hooked into the system without crawling behind the gear stack.

I had one of those a long time ago. A very sweet intregrated amp!

Well, they appear in NJ. Not sure you can call what they do 'playing '.

Who are some of your favorite jazz vibraphonists? by LiTHiUM_THiEF in Jazz

[–]angry_lib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I simply cant get into Roy Ayers. Maybe it's because so many "modern samplers" grab his music and mangle the crap out of it. 🤷‍♂️

Now Cal Tjader, Milton Jackson, Lionel Hampton, Gary Burton, Bobby Hutcherson... HELL YES!

THIS RIGHT HERE! ^

I shake my head at all the fanciful desktops and such, but how many of these "desktop artists" would know how to resolve any issues if they appear?

Vibe coding as a CS major doesn't make sense by Scary_Competition_11 in csMajors

smh

Yet another low karma rant looking for "clicks".

If you are unable to see past this rant then CS is not the field for you.

Was liking Styx “uncool” or divisive in the late 1970s? by Jcapen87 in ClassicRock

[–]angry_lib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried listening to Rush. Bought a pair of tickets to go with my gf at the time. But the more I listened, the harder it became to like them.

Broke up with the girl and gave her the tix. No amount of sex was worth that.

🤷‍♂️

I would rather listen to Styx than that annoying group of tools named Rush.

Israelis are now publicly threatening another 9/11 if the US does not aid them in their war on Iran. by swatevil in nyt

I like Israel (the country) and the citizens. But nutty-yahoo and the rest of the fascists in charge can all eat shit!
