Looks good on my android tablet but I have to use portrait mode to see what I type.

I am liking this more and more.

Real-time preview is cool.

Sad day for his family, friends, and jazz fans around the world...

got it t work.

Switched Skin to Cosmo then back to darkly.

Safari onMac is not showing the radio buttons for the poll.

I'm using the dark theme if that matters.

@Jolly If it's even still available, what Mik recommended is all he really needs. I haven't used anything except the Microsoft security apps that are built-in to Windows 10 for many years now. I was done having the other products slow my machine down and getting zero benefit from it.

@Aqua-Letifer Very cool! How did it sound?

I am anxiously waiting for the new Porcupine Tree album on vinyl to arrive.

It was released last Friday and I do have the MP3s and the FLAC files. I listened to it on my big system using the Foobar2000 App on the PC through Bluetooth to a Topping Dx3 Pro DAC to my AKitiKA Pre-amp and amp combo, out to the Klipsch RF-7 Towers and twin 12" Klipsch subwoofers.

It's like the band is right there in living room. The bass drum shakes, rattles and rolls your bones.

The FLAC files sound incredibly good. I will be doing a side by side with the Vinyl when it arrives.

I am at the the point of needing a new stylus. I have well over 1,000 hours of listening on the Nagaoka MP150. The stylus for the MP150 is not cheap and I think I might just spend a little more go for a Boron cantilevered, MP200 stylus this time around. Just waiting to find a good deal on one. I broke my Grado Opus3 cantilever and the only thing Grado has is a replacement discount program. So, no cheap and easy fix for that one. Still deciding on what to do about that one. The discount is significant. They are offering a $500 discount on their $1500 cartridge. That's the top of line in the series. They have 4 levels of pricing starting at $180 for a replacement Opus 3.

@George-K said in Speaking of vinyl...:

OK, I don't get it.

One of the attractions of vinyl is that is supposedly "sounds better" and preserves the actual dynamics of the original recording.

But, when you start throwing in things like bluetooth, etc., aren't you really just listening to compressed audio? You know, like an MP3?

I say that as a guy who's been wearing hearing aids for the last 6 months, by the way.

Pretty much. There is a DAC built in to the turntable essentially digitizing the signal.

Working right now, but will be back to this thread...

@Jolly absolutely!

Went to the ophthalmologist today. Got a trial pack of daily disposable, multi-focal contacts.

They are "tuned" for distance vision for golf.

I am able to read my phone to compose this but it is sharper still, with readers.

Was told he could fit a pair that would favor close vision more. I will be trying some of those too.

There is a give and take between the two prescriptions, and as you increase one, you decrease the other.

My distance vision is better than 20-20 with them. 20-15 actually.

I don't even feel like they are in my eyes. Very comfortable.
