[12:10] <BluesKaj> Good Day all
[12:15] <ducasse> \o BluesKaj - how's your weekend so far?
[12:17] <BluesKaj> hi ducasse, fine atm, relaxing with morning coffee, and you?
[12:18] <ducasse> on the sofa with laptop and tea, plan on not doing much today.
[12:21] <BluesKaj>  We might be having a saturday jam this afternoon at my friend's garage/studio. Not sure yet .
[12:31] <ducasse> BluesKaj: what kind of music?
[12:32] <BluesKaj> mostly classic rock and some country
[12:33] <ducasse> cool. you been playing for long?
[12:34] <BluesKaj> bunch of older guys except for our semi-regular bass player who's in his mid 30's
[12:35] <BluesKaj> off and on with different guys for about 25 yrs
[12:35] <ducasse> old guys can rock too :)
[12:35] <BluesKaj> yup
[12:36] <ducasse> most of the artists i listen to have been playing for 20-40+ years, so...
[12:40] <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 ;-)
[12:45] <BluesKaj> we've played a few gigs around  town for the past few yrs, just enough appreciation to keep us going
[12:46] <ducasse> i'm absolutely without musical talent, so i stick to listening to it :)
[12:46] <BluesKaj> listening is good
[12:48] <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.
[12:49] <ducasse> that whole audio thing can be ruinous.
[12:50] <BluesKaj> it reaches a point of diminishing returns in terms of price and common sense
[12:50] <BluesKaj> IMO
[12:52] <BluesKaj> I've met audiophiles with 20Kilobuck systems who have only 50 albums, and listen to the sound but don't hear the music
[12:53] <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
[12:54] <ducasse> exactly. and superstition :)
[12:54] <BluesKaj> exotic cables claims is nothing but black magic
[12:55] <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
[12:58] <ducasse> people actually bought and used those. they were pretty cheap iirc, but some of this stuff costs vast amounts of money.
[12:59] <BluesKaj> I'm an old Lab-Techie and measurements mean more to me than unsubstantiated claims about unmeasureable effects
[13:00] <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.
[13:02] <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.
[13:04] <BluesKaj> yes , nad is pratical and well designed affordable equipment
[13:07] <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.
[13:10] <ducasse> heading out, brb
[18:19] <Bashing-om> !info nvme-cli xenial
[23:50] <ducasse> Bashing-om: ok, i'm heading to bed rsn. have fun!
[23:51] <Bashing-om> Just for that I will be forced to have fun without you ducasse .
[23:52] <ducasse> Bashing-om: i'm sure you can manage :)
[23:55] <Bashing-om> Wuth the ranks dwindle-ing .. not as much fun .
