What New Stuff Have You Bought? If You Care To Share Thead! :)

I hadn't bought one yet, but looking at a newer ipad or a Surface Pro.

I forgot how nice it was having my iPad fully functional. I went from an iPad 2 that only served as an email notification device to the current 10.9” iPad. It’s a luxury in many regards, but so useful!

When I travel, looking to replace my ipad with something lighter and easier to use it for what i need it for. I always bring my laptop to the hotel, but when I go to events, would be nice to have a just a small lightweight device I can write notes and information on.

The philoposhy of the reMarkable is that it only does note taking, and does it very well. I have the Ipad Pro 12.9 latest version with keyboard and pen. I don't like writing on the screen, but it is almost a laptop replacment. They makret the Remarkable is pure focus time on taking notes and sharing. Could also be that it is 4 year old tech

I opened the Kindle Scribe. It works very well, but you can tell it's a very basic note taker, or at least so far for me. It is an excellent ebook reader. Backlight is a nice feature if I want to use it on a plane. and their is no montly fee to take advantage of cloud storage features like the reMarkable.

I wonder who will have more fun playing with it?

A Realistic soundbox I picked up at a church fair. Took a lot of cleaning up but it works and is bumping to Rush’s All the World’s a Stage. With my lava lamp I’ve moved from a second base machine to a home run! Happy Thanksgiving!

Just ordered the Animals 2018 mix SACD. AMZ just dropped it to the lowest price I've seen at $60. Usually up around $80, give or take.

So much Floyd I love, but this is easily one of my favorites. Especially the second cut, Dogs.

If the mix on this is as competent as WYWH, I will be very happy.

Definitely an Animals fan. Got it as soon as it released. Played it to death. Still have the original vinyl. My kids dig it too. Not to mention the flying pigs at live shows.

Bobby! Niece! What (brand-model) are your Towers?

Thanks! Arendal 1723 towers.

Have the CD and stream with Qobuz. The Animals reissue made the most difference of all their 70s albums IMO. The original mix sounded a little muffled to me, especially Roger Waters’ bass. The bass is now excellent. Rumbles and rattles the walls during the break in Pigs (3 different ones).

Picked up a second Panasonic UB820 UHD player for backup. They are on sale almost everywhere for $349.

Some beefy drivers, even the tweeter is meaty. Quality.

Yes high quality equipment. 8 inch woofers and midrange and a soft dome tweeter with a big wave guide. Fit and finish in black satin are excellent. It’s the most solid tower in its price range that I tried. Each weigh 111 lbs and the grills can deflect anything but a bullet which is great with kids around. The binding posts are top notch and the feet make it very sturdy. Sound terrific which is most important.

I'm excited. My office is about to get a nice upgrade. Amazon had it on sale for $331. Now I have to decide whether or not to keep the 550p for my desktop system, or try to keep it to one sub in that room.

Should we consider this a sickness now? What does this one bring to the table?

Do you actually still use cassette decks or do you just like to have them? I'm not up on which were considered top of the line.

Are they all plugged in? In which case you probably need three of these!

I have not thrown away any of my older equipment but I tend to store them where they don't take up needed space. My main cassette decks were two Nakamichi BX-300's used for Grateful Dead tape trading. I think I used them up through around 1999ish when the Grateful Dead started to issue CD's from their vault. If I recall correctly the Nak 300's were three head decks. Separate play, record and erase I think? Pretty good.

Tapes were fun. But I can't see still using them any more.

I already copied my best bootlegs onto CDs and then into the computer from there.

Photo off the internet. My BX-300s are too hard to photograph being under other gear. I think I finally took them out of the rack around 2010. They sat for several years set up but unused.
