Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo So what are ya listening to tonight?

I suppose abominations are all relative. The v2 were superlative and a revelation compared to my Boses.

All in good fun !!

Let me know if that tune I pasted above was any good on the actives. Had some cool noises and ambiance to it.

Ok but may not be able to for a few days. I'm living on my deck. Almost didn't make it through last night. A bobcat showed up and threatened to split me from stem to stern. I took care of it.

Understood. What’s more dangerous though?…..a bobcat or a cougar?

Good thing you have all those weapons nearby to fend off the rabid wildlife.

Perhaps the mankini will keep the wildlife away, like a repellent of sorts, might be worth a try.

I think a cougar with wine in her is more dangerous.

The lime mankini would surely give the ol' lady next door a heart attack. She gets heart palpitations when she sees me in shorts and a muscle shirt.

Has your new house burned down yet? It's finally starting to clear up on my deck.

House is standing. For now……

But I think the smoke you see is from m100 adhesive and voice coils. Or it could be from my underpowered tweeters trying to do their job. I’ll send you a smoke signal today with some more electronica.

I'm seeing smoke signals in the southeast today. Must be Canes cranking it.

I did get to recalibrate yesterday evening. I will say that at the MLP there is no reason ever to listen at reference levels. Sounded great but way too loud. -10 still seems to be the sweet spot. Movies are definitely where I notice a night and day difference with the amp. With the songs I tested yesterday I felt like the mids were much more pronounced.

Nothing melted yet.

Sleigh Bells - Locus Laced

I'm always happy when new stuff from Sleigh Bells gets posted. I can't believe I'm a day late seeing it. I wasn't in a rush to go to a concert, figured I would go to one of my must-sees if I happened to hear of them touring. Sleigh Bells qualifies, so I guess I'll be going to my first post-COVID concert in October. Dune will be out, too, so I should take vacation and see both in either Portland or Seattle. Seattle has the nice IMAX at the Pacific Science Center with the laser projection system, but who knows when they'll be open to the public again.

Well, we've really pooched this thread. Charles is trying to get us all back in line with Sleigh Bells. Every time I thread gets de-railed on here, I giggle my guts out because it reminds me of the good 'ole days when forum manners were just theory and not practice.

I too have never had to go to reference level. I find with Netflix though, sometimes I have to listen at -5 because I swear Netflix is messing with us. If I listen to anything else at -5 (including Youtube), I'd go deaf pretty quick.
