Re: Mythic Quest

Welp, Season 4 is the last. I saw the current finale, which was obviously a season finale, and is going to be re-shot as a series finale. I'm torn. Loved this show for a time, but also got the sense that it had run its course. Or, maybe not that, but that it was going in a direction that I ...

Love Capra. Simple and raw. Crow Lotus (lead singer) channeling some Henry Rollins.

Re: Speakers for 95% A/V

I have Klipsch today and my family can barely stand to listen above even a modest volume because of the treble.

This was the problem with my Pinnacle Studio 40s. Wore me down soon enough and I had to get rid of them. Got my Dynaudios and it was like immediate relief. I fear the day I ever have to ...

Re: Speakers for 95% A/V


[*]Surround speakers MUST MUST MUST natively wall mount. No standard, rear ported bookshelf speakers, shoehorned into side gripping wall mounts that stick out a foot need apply.


Don't have any better advice for you but this made me LOL. I've never understood why manufacturers do this. How many ...

Re: Favorite cocktails

I generally like double-casked bourbon. Depends on the finish though. Somebody makes one finished in rum casks, and I did not enjoy that. Some are cloyingly sweet. Actually it was a scotch that sent me down this road: Balvenie Doublewood. Love it.

Re: What’s Spinning?

Blackbraid is a one-person Indigenous black metal project founded by Sgah’gahsowáh (aka Jon Krieger), who hails from the Adirondack region of New York. Blackbraid emerged in 2022 with a raw yet atmospheric sound that incorporates elements of melodic black metal and nods to Sgah’gahsowáh’s Native ...

Re: Favorite cocktails

I love a good Bourbon Sour with a nice foamy egg white.

Try aforementioned with tamarind paste (mixed into a slurry with a bit of water prior to mixing into cocktail).

Tamarind margarita is also really interesting especially with a chile-salt rim.

Sipping a Kentucky Mule as we speak.

Re: What AVR brand do you like in the mid-price range

I've owned a Marantz, Denon, and Onkyo. All of which gave out just a few years into life. On the other hand my B&K Ref 50 is still trucking after...20 years?
