Re: Got tickets to see - your next live listen

Alice Cooper is coming to Cardiff in July. Got my ticket from the box office yesterday, avoiding the Ticket master thieves. :grin:

Re: Last Live Listen

https://i.imgur.com/aBcpCXG.jpg Saw Livewire at the Tramshed last night. They are one of the top AC/DC tribute bands and put on a good show for two and a quarter hours, performing songs from the first album to the latest. Tribute bands are all the rage now. With hardly any one buying the physical m...

Re: Bloody weather

Got off lightly in South Wales but it was very windy in the morning.

Heads are rolling at Sonos and rightly so. Engineers warned of the problems with the new app and were ignored.

I still can't access my NAS and can only locate favourites on Qobuz via a search.

Re: Obits

Shocked and saddened to learn of the passing of rock guitarist John Sykes, best remembered for his time with Thin Lizzy and Whitesnake. I was aware that he became very disillusioned with the music industry. Recall seeing him with Whitesnake in the 80s before they broke in the US with the 1987 album...

Saw Whitesnake UK at the Patriot Rock Club. They are an excellent tribute band. Pleased that the set mainly comprised the more bluey material from the earlier albums. A few Deep Purple classics were a bonus.

Re: Subjective Reviews vs Measurements

The home is the most important component in the hi-fi system. With the most important specification being noise bleed to the nearest neighbouring property. Which could be measured scientifically. But never is. I'd rather listen to a wisely put together cheap as chips sub £150 system in a detached h...

Re: Subjective Reviews vs Measurements

Battle lines have been drawn on forums on this issue, questioning measurements results in an instant ban on ASR. Both approaches are flawed. Music is not a science and there is a lot more to its enjoyment, or lack of it, than can be shown on charts and graphs. Subjectivism is flawed because of all t...

Re: No place in the sun...

I have found that the prices of holiday accommodation in the Uk have rocketed since Brexit and Covid. Did not go for a holiday in the UK last year because of this, together with no guarantees about the weather. Had to stay in London twice for AC/DC and a wedding and inferior hotels cost a lot more t...
