BluesKaj | Good Day all | 12:10 |
ducasse | \o BluesKaj - how's your weekend so far? | 12:15 |
BluesKaj | hi ducasse, fine atm, relaxing with morning coffee, and you? | 12:17 |
ducasse | on the sofa with laptop and tea, plan on not doing much today. | 12:18 |
BluesKaj | We might be having a saturday jam this afternoon at my friend's garage/studio. Not sure yet . | 12:21 |
ducasse | BluesKaj: what kind of music? | 12:31 |
BluesKaj | mostly classic rock and some country | 12:32 |
ducasse | cool. you been playing for long? | 12:33 |
BluesKaj | bunch of older guys except for our semi-regular bass player who's in his mid 30's | 12:34 |
BluesKaj | off and on with different guys for about 25 yrs | 12:35 |
ducasse | old guys can rock too :) | 12:35 |
BluesKaj | yup | 12:35 |
ducasse | most of the artists i listen to have been playing for 20-40+ years, so... | 12:36 |
BluesKaj | I played drums a bit before I got married, but life became too busy with kids etc til 1990 or so then wife and I were "empty nesters", so some one heard I used to play and invited me to jam at his little studio and the rest is history ;-) | 12:40 |
BluesKaj | we've played a few gigs around town for the past few yrs, just enough appreciation to keep us going | 12:45 |
ducasse | i'm absolutely without musical talent, so i stick to listening to it :) | 12:46 |
BluesKaj | listening is good | 12:46 |
BluesKaj | I listened for a long time when was into audio and still do at times | 12:48 |
ducasse | yup. there's so much good stuff out there, so plenty to dig into. | 12:48 |
ducasse | that whole audio thing can be ruinous. | 12:49 |
BluesKaj | it reaches a point of diminishing returns in terms of price and common sense | 12:50 |
BluesKaj | IMO | 12:50 |
BluesKaj | I've met audiophiles with 20Kilobuck systems who have only 50 albums, and listen to the sound but don't hear the music | 12:52 |
ducasse | sure, you find your level eventually. there's little point to the absurdly priced cables etc. | 12:53 |
BluesKaj | it's all about "gear" with some | 12:53 |
ducasse | exactly. and superstition :) | 12:54 |
BluesKaj | exotic cables claims is nothing but black magic | 12:54 |
ducasse | do you remeber the green marker they claimed would improve cd sound if you marked the outer edge with it? :) | 12:55 |
BluesKaj | yes, ridiculous | 12:55 |
ducasse | people actually bought and used those. they were pretty cheap iirc, but some of this stuff costs vast amounts of money. | 12:58 |
BluesKaj | I'm an old Lab-Techie and measurements mean more to me than unsubstantiated claims about unmeasureable effects | 12:59 |
ducasse | they sell ridiculous things; bags of crystals you are meant to place around connectors etc. | 13:00 |
ducasse | what you say about measurements is why i like companies like nad. | 13:00 |
BluesKaj | I've always maintained the belief that yje recording has more effect on the sound than the equipment once a certain level of hifi is reached, and that level can be very afforable IME. | 13:02 |
BluesKaj | yes , nad is pratical and well designed affordable equipment | 13:04 |
ducasse | they tend to skimp on stuff that is essentially frills and focus on the bits that matter. they might not be the coolest-looking, but work well. and they work for a very long time. | 13:07 |
ducasse | heading out, brb | 13:10 |
