Burn the cloth. Save the frames. My wife works at Fabricland. The only hope is to send those poor abused speakers to me for full restoration!

I thought that's what gingers were originally bred for? And I'm Irish, so flames off.

My son is getting some King Crimson right now - he's not sure.......

There is music playing in my house 24/7. Rarely is it top 40 mainstream type stuff. It's funny what things the kids take an interest in. My son (8): He calls it 'His music" And he really digs Bluegrass. I was watching some of the BBC's 'TransAtlantic' series - mostly for Dan Tyminski - and he was glued to the monitor. My twin girls (5) are huge Diana Krall fans. When they were babies and too fussy to sleep, the 'Live in Paris' DVD was a sure fire way to get them to settle. Still works like a charm. And as they like to dance around (plus I can only take so much of the Disney music collection), I introduced them to the B-52s No matter what they are up to good or bad, If I put Rock Lobster on - in seconds they are gettin' down in the family room. What things have your kids picked up on that's not current pop?

Late to the party, but check out Johannes Linstead as well.

Antonio Pinto looks to only do movie scores. There is some of his stuff on LastFM

There is always going to be the 'next greatest' format on the horizon. And thousands of people arguing which is better. I tend to listen to music and not file formats myself.

Song rights? Not if it's never offered up for sale.

Love it!

Hows the stylus holding out?

It should, but being a digital information format instead of fading at distance or during weather events it just cuts off.

Depends on where you shoot them - or what you shoot off......

Funny. Sirius/XM turned me off streamed music. I was an early adopter, had the Polk 'reference' home unit and 2 car units. It kept getting more expensive (we didn't get the lifetime subscription plans in Canada), the SQ was so-so IMHO and the playlists repeated every 12 hours for a month. Then the "No advertising" got turned into plugging ourselves and our other channels all the time. At least what I got from them in any case. It's the reason I was slow to check out online streaming. Wow what a difference. Since I bothered how to figure out properly setting up my Marantz NA7004 I stopped using my analog tuners and eventually sold them all.

Can't speak for anyone else, but at the music stores I frequent there are definitely more young people plus the hipsters searching though and buying vinyl than I have seen in 25 years. Used turntables were almost free a couple years ago - now they are selling for their original MSRP and more. Lots of new TT's out there and carts too. Is it a fad? maybe.

Wow. A lot of stuff being discussed here - not that it's a bad thing! What say we start a separate thread on the 'vinyl resurgence' ? I think it is deserving of it's own and I have some thoughts... Back to the original post - there are many things pushing radio to digital. The drop in sales of physical media is a clear indication that digital downloaded/streamed music is taking over.

There are already Pink Floyd only internet stations.

Digital 'radio' is well under way. Where the bulk of the action is - the internet. The final change-over will be legislated at some point. Within the next 10 years of so nearly everything made will have wifi capabilities and wifi will be available to 95% of the population. Most traditional radio stations have internet streams, even some of the college ones. I took the plunge and picked up an internet audio streamer a while back. OTA stations that are too far away are now available to me. As are those from all over the world. The list of internet only 'stations' is immense, the choices of genres is endless. The SQ of many is excellent, many even have multiple streams in varying bit rates to choose from. When every car, every phone, pad and whatever soon replaces those devices comes out is wifi connected to the whole world, traditional radio broadcast will eventually be relegated to a specialty segment of society. I'm sure there will always be some enthusiasts to keep OTA alive. Maybe we'll be back to the days of 'rebel' stations from across the border. Dom?

MOFI: Mobile Sound Fidelity. High quality repressings/re-issues of great albums. Some are half speed mastered, heavy virgin vinyl etc. They do many CDs as well.

Are you bi-amping with external or internal crossover? If you wish to use the speaker wire & subwoofer pass-through connections instead of the RCA connection: A: if you are using the internal speaker crossovers, you can run wires from either amp, through the sub to the speakers. I'd use the upper if it were me, but it makes no real difference. B: if you are using an external electronic crossover, use the amp that feeds the woofers as it will have the low frequency signal. Wire the amp to the sub, then from the sub to the appropriate binding posts of the speaker.

Will this do? http://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/649072686-sunfire_2700_watt_tseq10_true_subwoofer/
