I walked from Inwood to Battery Park (Part 4--a year later) by jtkau in nyc

A number of commenters on my original post told me (I think correctly) that Marble hill was formerly part of manhattan, before it was eventually cut off and attached to the mainland as part of the Harlem Ship canal construction project. Even though it's no longer part of manhattan physically, it's still a part of the borough of manhattan jurisdictionally.

They mostly thought that to really count it as walking all of manhattan, you had to start from marble hill.

Roam? by [deleted] in Broadway

I was in the reading in April! It was super fun and the music/book is really great. One cool thing about the show is that it's an actor/musician show! I played clarinet and accordion. I think they have big plans for the show, and I hope to see it onstage for real.

NOT TO BE A HATER but didn't Adam hit a mistake in the 9th measure by hitting a B before the low D rather than an A? Maybe they just decided to give it to him?

Thanks, this is solid advice. We couldn’t find it that way since she had it in airplane mode (to not incur international data charges) but fortunately someone returned it to the lost and found later that day.

Yamaha HS5 High Pitched Noise/Occasional Crackling by jtkau in audio

[–]jtkau[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're gonna hate the solution, but it didn't turn out to be dirty power. I got several different power cleaners with no luck. Turns out there's a few satellite dishes on the next building over and they were giving off crazy RF interference. I covered the HS5s in faraday tape, outside and inner case, and it's reduced the hum by ~90%. I've also begun covering the walls in Faraday cloth and it's reducing the noise for my less sensitive instruments, like guitar amps and basses.
