Bit of guitar this arvo Gypsy Kings - Mosaic Tommy Emmanuel - Determination

Terminator 2 and True Lies were peak Arnie for me. Action blockbuster and action comedy at it's finest.

I get where you are coming from with Master of Puppets. My take on it is it was mixed at near live playback levels. The louder you play this album, the better it gets. At 80dB it is very thin. At 105dB+ you have yourself a thrash metal masterpiece. As I get older the inclination and opportunity to blast it at the required volume becomes much more limited. As for Tool...I will be waiting for the standard issue CD without all the packaging fruit.

I have an early-mid 2000's LG plasma which has done this for at least 10 years. Don't hold your breath waiting for it to cark it.

Really appreciating more of Michael's catalogue in the last few years. I never used to listen to anything much after Thriller.

Don't hate on Johnnie. The red label is poor but I'll take a Johnnie Black ahead of any single malt I can buy for $40. The Blue is a fine whiskey but it does sit in awkward territory in terms of value. I suspect most of these ones are usually purchased as gifts. *sorry for the whisky OT

Off to bed. Hard to describe. I guess it's folk.

Marantz cd75 hiding down the rack into some parasound classic separates and onto some Swedish Audio Pro speakers. Pretty well made things with decent vifa drivers and a fairly solid build. I have an Aaron sw400 doing the sub 80Hz lifting and it all integrates nicely to do the HT side of things too. All very modest but gets the job done when I get a chance to sit down!

Dinner for the father in law last night. A very different shiraz from Frankland River that I thought was pretty darn good if you could put aside the brains prior expectations Also had a Chris Ringland Reservation Shiraz in a more traditional Barossa style. Very enjoyable.

Mrs and kids on a shopping mission. Chores achieved and time for a sit in the mess with a beer for once and hit a few tunes

Not a bad spy thriller but it feels like one of those films where it got pulled in a few different directions during editing and consequently is a bit weaker for the lack of focus. I have Tracks to watch but have been unsuccessful in convincing the better half that it isn't going to be colossally boring

Somewhat more energised today. I continue with my love affair of liking the unpopular albums of popular bands. Go figure !

Nothing too energetic. Struck down with a bit of a lurgy

I don't think your sub is playing in the same sandbox as the subs the OP is testing How many dB down are you at 16Hz? I reckon the same level signal at 30Hz would be upsetting the neighbors! I could hear 16Hz with my dual 12" but the same signal was 110dB at 30Hz and prompting a please explain from the boss 😂
