I used the dB meter and it said 100dB (has been for like 30 minutes) so I put my hand on the receiver to check heat and just about burned myself so I've turned it off and going to let it cool down before I turn it back on again.
Like I said "appetite for destruction". Where's mom and dad when you're raising all this he l l! Are the cops on the way? Either you are a lucky young fella or a lonely one cause nobody seems to be minding the store.
Sister and Mom = Art Gathering Dad = In Class Studying to be N.D.
I've gone outside and even with it as loud as I dare, I press the play button on the remote (UHF) and I can't hear it until I put my ear up to the wall. Even with the Paradigm Sub I couldn't hear it very well, even against the corner on the wall. Why doesn't sound get out of our house very easily? Is it like this for everyone?
I've been at friends' houses and when I get there I can hear music and when I go inside it's their TV at medium volume, not even that loud..
Stu- Never heard the A.C. The Wikipedia entry alone was a pretty comical read. I'll have to find some of the noise they've recorded. Although, I have a pretty good idea of what I'm going to hear.
Stryvn, I got the UFO cd. I spun it once, but in all honesty it was while nearly gutting my kitchen. I will listen on the road this week to get a groove, then play it on the big dog next weekend. Didn't get to record anything this weekend, guys. Decimating my kitchen kinda took over. My wife took pictures. It doesn't happen very often, but I seem to be commited now, so more working weekends at home. Yeah. Woo frigging hoo.
"Introducing Joss Stone", apt title, not the Joss Stone I thought I new. Refinement perhaps?
Neil Young "Live At Massey Hall 1971". It certainly sounds like a Neil Young voice from the past. The biggest drawback was the stupid S.O.B. left front of stage who couldn't quit coughing. And Neil was complaining about the photographers aka Tiger Woods, like he couldn't hear the hacker?
Nuck- UFO not mixed the best and some short songs there, but Michael Schenker plays that flying V like he means it. I've seen him live several times and there's little to none of that fancy pedal work for this guy. It's all about bending them strings and feeling.
Don't know if The Arcade Fire has been mentioned yet, but if they haven't, they deserve to be. Funeral is one of my top 5 albums, and I would recommend it to just about anyone.
I hate to say it, but I think Creed and POD are a bit of a joke. Creed ripped off Pearl Jam and sounds terrible in comparison. I'm ashamed to admit there were a few months a couple of years ago where I listened to copious amounts of Creed, that is, until I came to my senses. POD...let's just not go there :D
I'm currently listening to Arlo Guthrie on the trusty iPod as my roommates are asleep. Also recently played: Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, The Roots, Donovan, The Decemberists, Rogue Wave, Clapton, and The Shins.
Haha don't worry Josh I'll listen to just about anything. I don't really pay attention to the music sometimes and I like that Creed CD for the bass. BOOM BOOM
POD? It was on the radio.
In fact, I'm listening to organ music in the background (I happened to have a CD ).
Josh this isn't a thread to criticize each others musical taste but instead to share what we are presently listening to. You are welcome to participate but please keep that in mind.
U2 Joshua Tree (Vinyl) family's sleeping, what the #@#$. I had to listen to it low, but it still sounded beautiful. I will have to run it again when the house empties out, see if it sounds any different with exponential decibels. LOL
Lol...actually it's a thing I signed up in at church. No more than 5 hours internet (includes music) or TV (Phone as well) a week. Personally it's been a little tough, or not, on me; nothing's been horrible, just that I'm used to more of it. I'm filling the time with science experiments.
Currently I'm listening to Shooting Star - Bad Company; I like the song.
Hey JC, are ya out there? I have listened to Mr Bibb and like him very much. He kind of reminds me of a sopisticated Taj Mahal or conversely a country Keb Mo. Very good music. I do wish that the recording industry would give up on the surround SACD thing though. This album suffers like many of them do from being recorded intentionally for multichannel and consequently having a rather thin or distant sound in 2 channel. Overall a first rate thumbs up!
After Mr Bibb took a spin on the Apollo last night Mr Zawinal took a similar trip with his latest "Brown Street" release. Talk about a first rate recording..the kick drums are palpable. Off to go grocery shopping...after Sherilyn finishes her lunch ofcourse.
In the bigbox store today for some cd'rs and they had the Athena f2.2's on a H/K receiver. 'twilight zone' by Golden Earring. Gee, some songs just need that bassline, ya know?
I almost forgot the name, but it's uh...Alice in Chains..yeah that's it. It's on the radio (and yes I do happen to have it on CD, what's wrong with that?). Heaven Beside You
I wouldn't call you crazy Stryvn. Would? is one of my favorite songs.
Tool - 10,000 Days Staind - The Singles: 1996-2006 Aerosmith - Greatest Hits Metallica - Garage, Inc
All graced the Apollo today along with a few others I can't recall at the moment.
While listening to Aerosmith's Greatest Hits I had to fire up the old Nintendo and play Mike Tyson's Punchout. I beat Mike Tyson 6 times in a row before turning it off. That's gotta be some kind of record.
I'm watching music videos. I can't be on any longer since I just hit my weekly maximum. I can only get back on for educational or research purposes...this isn't really educational material (school-like).
LOL whenever I listen to Def Leppard Pyromania (yeah go ahead and laugh) I think of playing super mario Bros and listening to it in the late 80's, audio video junkie at birth
I think it's Elton John. I have it turned pretty loud (4311's only) and I'm liking the sound, although I won't go any louder because of the receiver's limitations.
I only listen to hair bands in the car, I have some pretty decent gear in there so it sounds pretty good. I am not ashamed to say that I love some good ol' 80's hair rock!!
The Dared experiment took off for a bit there! Kids all settled in for the night now so the experiments will have to resume at another time. For now, let's just say it appears to me the Dared's enjoy more volume than less. I lost my speakers from the room completely for a while there
My system handles Def Leppard's "futuristic" sound about as well as it can be handled I suppose. I can't say I've really cared for their stuff seriously in a long, long time though. These last couple of days I've been listening to Queen and Kenny Rogers. Interesting mix if anything.
Nuck, I suspect your mail is all the same. And someone at the post office up there knows it. Any mail addressed to Nuckster gets pulled to the side by some postal employee up there and taken home, enjoyed for a few weeks and then returned to the regular cycle.......Nuck's mail arrives fully broken in after being enjoyed by some lucky postman. Only reason I can figure for the long delays.
Nuck tried to blame it on dog sled delivery. Even dogs ain't that slow.
