Now that's a nice afternoon

@Sk1Bum Based on your posting of Russ Freeman, Nocturnal Playground, it inspired me to have a Rippington afternoon. Play list so far is. Russ Freeman, Nocturnal Playground along with the following, Moonlighting Kilimanjaro Tourist in Paradise Welcome to the St. James' Club Curves Ahead Weekend in Monaco Sahara

2nd post here so I might still be the f.n.g. and unable to post pics yet. I found a fella with a p/l 400 for sale so I pulled the trigger on the purchase. Late 70's model with the l.e.d. meters and the front handles shaved off. Presumably by the manufacturer since it's done well. My excitement over this stems from pairing it with the p/l 4000 preamp that was found and given to me by a friend. After adding an ART sl-1 to push the rear speakers, I now know what all the fuss was about when these were introduced. I've got a pair of 70's era Pioneer CS-A31's up front. The rears are a pair of 60's era Wharfdale mystery speakers that I believe were assembled overseas, complete with their Motorola antenna connection speaker inputs. This has been a very patient endeavor, but I'm very grateful that my lonely preamp found an amp that works well with it. Also picked up a C-9 and have spent the last few days experimenting with adding it to this system, but feeding an Onkyo receiver/ homemade bookshelf speakers in 2 channel for what has been so far a very amazing listening experience. Any tips, tricks, advice, or recommendations are certainly welcome. I think I am certainly "hooked", for lack of a better way to put it, on the whole Phase Linear/ Carver thing now.

And that is what it is all about. Discovering and enjoying the gear that you have found. Welcome to the site.

How the World Listens to Music https://www.statista.com/chart/32880/share-of-hours-spent-engaging-with-music/ IFPI's landmark Engaging with Music 2023 report provides insight to the music industry from the perspective of fans, with survey data of over 43,000 internet users across 26 countries. It found that on average, respondents listened to 20.7 hours of music each week, up from 20.1 hours per week in 2022. IFPI also reveals that on average, people listen to eight or more different genres and use seven or more different methods to engage with music. As the following chart shows, audio streaming now makes up the biggest share in terms of methods used for listenership. Just under a third (32 percent) of all the hours that people spent engaging with music in 2023 was under the umbrella term of audio streaming, including subscription and free tiers such as Spotify, Apple Music and Melon. The second most popular method was video streaming (31 percent), which includes long-form and short-form videos found on platforms such as YouTube and TikTok, while the third most popular was music on the radio (17 percent), including live broadcasts, catch up and internet radio stations.

Geddy Lee does some pretty solid bass playing... . Love the bass playing on several Rush songs... including this one.

Thanks, I love his playing. Made me dig this one out that I will listen to next.
