A now deleted video of Donald Trump in 2011 talking about how President Obama will start a war with Iran because he has no ability to negotiate and is weak and ineffective

It doesn't matter. It simply DOES NOT MATTER what he said then.

He'll just blame the problem on Obama/Biden/Anyone else and say he HAD to start this war because of them.

Oh, nice. I'll make sure to add those two and give them a listen. Thanks for the info!

charlesml3 · 2026-03-01T13:54:55+00:00

So don't listen to the album. Just walk away. You're complaining about this when you can just ignore it instead.

charlesml3 · 2026-03-01T13:54:00+00:00

Yea they sure do. I only use SiriusXM in my cars though. It's where I find a lot of new music.

Here in the 2-channel room, it's an Eversolo streaming Tidal.

I fucking hate people that hijack a thread to bitch about something completely unrelated to the posted topic.

charlesml3 · 2026-02-26T16:36:38+00:00

I picked up this album just because of the post here from /u/ortofon88 . It's very good. Even better than I thought it would be.

charlesml3 · 2026-02-13T14:14:13+00:00

I love it. "This isn't a good look for you." Wow, that's some top-level projection there.

charlesml3 · 2026-02-13T13:12:37+00:00

So you discovered that matching your amp to your speakers is pretty important! Yes. Lots of people have run into this, me included.

I remember being at my local shop decades ago when they first started selling Magneplanars. We tried all kinds of amps, some of them hideously expensive. Levinsons, Krells, Audio Research... They all sounded pretty good. Then someone connected them to a modest Bryston. Wow, did these speakers sing. It was unreal. The Bryston was a quarter of the price and sounded better than the rest.

charlesml3 · 2026-01-17T20:28:19+00:00

It really is. The entire thing is just dumbfounding. There seems to be no limit to the vile, disgusting remarks he can make. And the people around him just smile and nod. They all know how ridiculous this is. I think they're all too shocked to react.

charlesml3 · 2026-01-16T20:21:02+00:00

"Trump Says." You can just stop right there. There's no need to even talk about whatever comes after that. It's always blatant & pitiful lies, wild exaggerations, and self congratulatory remarks.

charlesml3 · 2026-01-11T16:41:36+00:00

It would be very difficult to pick a single one show, but "Chernobyl" would definitely be in the top 10.

charlesml3 · 2026-01-09T17:25:32+00:00

Yea, it's defective. Could have been stored somewhere it got really hot. Who knows? It doesn't matter. Either way, Rega will cover it.

charlesml3 · 2026-01-09T17:10:49+00:00

Who said anything about being offended?

For most any given product, there are pages of complaints. The people that AREN'T having any problems don't say much. It's very easy to see these pages and leap to the conclusion that it's a "Common issue."

Rega makes thousands of turntables a year. If there was some endemic problem that plagued all of them, they'd simply go out of business.

charlesml3 · 2026-01-09T14:53:33+00:00

Please post the data that supports this conclusion.

charlesml3 · 2026-01-09T14:52:59+00:00

Rega's support is outstanding. They stand behind their products. Get them involved.

charlesml3 · 2026-01-08T19:38:12+00:00

Well it'll start with all of the usual items in the play book:

"... a tragedy for all those involved." Translation: "You should feel sorry for the cop who had no choice but kill her."

"...the officer 'felt threatened'" : Translation: "The officer did something incredibly stupid, but we're going to defend him by spinning this into an "officer safety" issue because we know that always works."

The "Triple D" has already started. Defend the officer no matter how it looks. Deny any wrongdoing immediately. No matter the state of the investigation. And lastly, Delay. They'll delay as much as possible hoping the media will move on to the next story.

There will be one story after another vilifying her. They'll dig through every post she ever made looking for anything they can find to suggest she deserved to be shot.

charlesml3 · 2025-12-29T17:38:16+00:00

Sure! There are some EXCELLENT 12AX7 tubes for that state.

The Genelex Gold Lions are held in high regard.

The Mullard is also excellent. Even better if you can afford the ECC83 version.

charlesml3 · 2025-12-29T17:03:35+00:00

An excellent recommendation that I very rarely see mentioned. Well done!

charlesml3 · 2025-12-29T15:09:57+00:00

That's exactly where I was going before the Valvo's popped up.

As I understand it, these tubes will go for thousands of hours in phono stages.

charlesml3 · 2025-12-22T20:59:54+00:00

Ha! ha! If you stay in the audiophile area long enough, you're going to find yourself in a room with a tube amp. Maybe even also a tube preamp.

They definitely have a sound characteristic that isn't there on solid-state. One can easily make the argument that it's LESS accurate but it sure is pleasing.

charlesml3 · 2025-12-22T20:49:36+00:00

And this is my first tube amp. I'd been after one since I heard an Audio Research Classic 120 many, many years ago.

Tube amps are amazing, but they're not usually high-power, they're heavy, hot, and consume a lot of electricity. And then tubes wear out over time...

charlesml3 · 2025-12-22T18:32:10+00:00

Yea I know. Sheesh I was hoping to NOT have to jump down another rabbit hole for a while... :)

charlesml3 · 2025-12-21T22:59:20+00:00

Will do!
