	♥ 6:43pm Little Danny: I'm especially curious if there'll be any discernible difference in audio quality at your ends. Get at me, audiophiles!
	♥ 7:03pm Matt from New Orleans: See you in 3 hours Danny. I’m continuing to listen to music and following the NBA draft. I’m a spurs fan oddly(lived in NY most of my life) but following the pelicans as well.

	🦭 ♥ 10:02pm doctorjazz: Haven't plugged in the audiophile headphones yet, but sounding Great on the phone! I'll plug in soon.
	10:02pm fleep: It's Blue Flame A-Go-Go!
	♥ 10:02pm Matt from New Orleans: Sounds good so far
	🦭 ♥ 10:03pm coelacanth∅: hey Danny and all
	🦭 ♥ 10:05pm coelacanth∅: it definitely sounds different...more rocking than usual!
	10:05pm still b/p: Sounding good here, too...though the one-buck Dell speakers from a thrift shop aren't ideal for more particular signal appraisal. Could plug into the 40something-year-old receiver and listen through bigger 'n better cones.
	🦭 ♥ 10:05pm doctorjazz: (Not sure Jesus & Mary Chain is a good track to judge audio quality, I think not)
	♥ 10:06pm northguineahills: This Jesus and Mary Chain is a fave album of mine.
	🦭 ♥ 10:06pm coelacanth∅: right. it's a little hissy but the mary chain is like that sometimes
	♥ 10:06pm Little Danny: Hi everybody! Keepin' busy over here
	♥ 10:07pm Little Danny: Probably true of a lot of music I favor, doc
	🦭 ♥ 10:07pm coelacanth∅: i'm more of a munki guy
	🦭 ♥ 10:07pm chresti: Cool Blue Fireball!
	🦭 ♥ 10:09pm coelacanth∅: so doc, back at ya -cassette deck? and do you use it?
	10:10pm still b/p: I have a Kenwood and an Aiwa cassette deck in the house. Nnnnnnneither of them workin'.
	🦭 ♥ 10:12pm coelacanth∅: sometimes it's as simple as replacing a belt
	🦭 ♥ 10:12pm chresti: I'm listening via earbuds and smartphone, pretty dandy
	♥ 10:14pm Little Danny: awesome to hear, thanks y'all
	♥ 10:14pm Little Danny: 7"'s keeping me busy. BRB
	🦭 ♥ 10:15pm doctorjazz: Have a few broken decks in the basement...including an old Nakamichi CR3, which was a pretty good deck in it's day. But they all have up the ghost. (I mostly used them to record LPs so I could listen in the go).
	🦭 ♥ 10:15pm doctorjazz: Sounds fine, LD! Sounds like a step up to me.
	10:16pm still b/p: Soundsville album offers sounds of NY, Nashville, Philadelphia, Chicago (That's Hi Lifes), Detroit, England, West Coast, Surfing, Motorcycle, Hot Rod and Campus.
	🦭 ♥ 10:17pm JtotheK: Digging the tunes, Danny! Stream coming thru nicely (I have headphones in). Hello everyone.
	🦭 ♥ 10:17pm doctorjazz: I did have friends who were "tapers", snuck decks into shows and recorded them. Have some couldshows on cassette (but not sure they last forever, think they go bad). My friend went digital anyway.
	🦭 ♥ 10:20pm doctorjazz: I gave him an 8 TB hard drive, which he says he'll fill up. Curious what I'll get.
	🦭 ♥ 10:21pm coelacanth∅: nakamichi was one of the best, supposedly. my brother had one -probably not the top of the line. it sounded beautiful and functioned perfectly; but as it got older it simply got weak. (and i don't mean old -just older. my akai, which i bought first, outlived it by many years) it could play short tapes and some brand new tdks, but many tapes it just couldn't pull and stopped.
	🦭 ♥ 10:21pm doctorjazz: These are 45s, and likely are mono, but want to point pout that mono is what I'm hearing.
	10:22pm Dean: Those J&MC LPs aren't strictly audiophile samples, but they do give a ballpark sense of what a system can do. I audition equipment with recordings of acoustic instruments, naturally, but I love the "sound" of Darklands on a good 'table through a good system.
	🦭 ♥ 10:23pm coelacanth∅: 8 terabytes -that's a lot of shows!
	10:24pm Dean: I had a Nakamichi cassette player for a while many years ago. But it wasn't the one I wanted, the Dragon.
	🦭 ♥ 10:24pm coelacanth∅: hey JK
	10:27pm Dean: I listen to WFMU strictly on laptops and desktops. I'm one of those guys who fondly recalls the days of transistor radios under the pillow.
	10:27pm still b/p: I made a few mixtapes in '77. I think one works, one doesn't and one went missing. Have one right here, don't remember if it still plays correctly: Deep Purple, Burn and Highway Star; selections from Jeff Beck Blow By Blow; selections from Dark Side of the Moon; some Zeppelin II and III; and...Steve Martin songs! ...King Tut, Sally Goodin and Hoedown at Alice's. Think I was going for variety and not favorites at the last there.
	♥ 10:28pm northguineahills: Gosh, I haven't made a mixtape since 2010.....
	🦭 ♥ 10:29pm doctorjazz: He's got a lot of shows (and high rez digital files), I'll see how many terabytes he fills. (I wanted a Dragon too, but didn't/couldn't spring for one. Of course, my taper friend had one). Also had a Sony D6, that tapers liked. I tried doing the taping thing, but it made me anxious sneaking the gear into clubs, and you had to be perfectly quiet and still to get a good recording, which killed the enjoyment of the show, so I quit pretty quickly.
	🦭 ♥ 10:33pm coelacanth∅: someone "challenged" me to a mixtape exchange sometime last year. (he thinks he's a genius in the music department) i asked him how his is coming along, maybe a month later, and he didn't know what i was talking about. (he was drunk) i hadn't made mine yet, so i didn't bother.
	🦭 ♥ 10:34pm chresti: We had a portable radio/cassette player/recorder that I would record radio shows with, and listen to mixtapes.
	🦭 ♥ 10:35pm doctorjazz: Still Soundslike mono on my set up, is it?
	🦭 ♥ 10:36pm coelacanth∅: isn't the dragon like a high-end canondale, or a ferrari sergio? ...about 6-10% better than those that cost about 90% less?
	🦭 ♥ 10:36pm doctorjazz: (I pointed this out on another show a while back, and the DJ had missed a setting).
	🦭 ♥ 10:37pm coelacanth∅: i would buy a dragon, on principal.
	♥ 10:37pm Little Danny: Hmm, let me look into that, doc
	🦭 ♥ 10:37pm chresti: Haha ferrari sergio
	🦭 ♥ 10:37pm coelacanth∅: (if i could)
	♥ 10:38pm Little Danny: barely keepin' up with the comments - will get to y'all in turn my luvs!
	🦭 ♥ 10:38pm doctorjazz: Sure Coel, but there's gold in that 10%
	🦭 ♥ 10:39pm chresti: Now I want a Sergio Dragon
	10:39pm Dean: High-end audio is all about that last mile, which is indeed often worth a seemingly disproportionate marginal adjustment.
	10:40pm Dean: And yet it works the other way, too. I replaced my cheap-ass CD transport with another one. Big improvement. (But nothing comes close to the Linn Karik/Numerik, which is decidedly not cheap-ass.)
	🦭 ♥ 10:41pm coelacanth∅: disproportionate. thank you. i wouldn't buy a cannondale bicycle either. a $400. mountain bike is excellent and functions beautifully. why would i spend another $2600. for something that...is excellent, and functions beautifully?
	🦭 ♥ 10:42pm doctorjazz: Love my Linn turntable, their digital is great as well.
	🦭 ♥ 10:43pm coelacanth∅: well, there's cheapass and there's cheapass. i wouldn't get a top of the line realistic brand cassette deck!
	10:43pm Dean: Linn is terrific, despite their almost Amway-like approach to marketing. Best system I've ever heard was all Linn. I love my Linn 'table, too. I've had it since '83.
	♥ 10:44pm northguineahills: Love anything Broadcast related, and Haha, especially. Time for spicy pierogis!
	🦭 ♥ 10:44pm coelacanth∅: i think it's time for a beer
	🦭 ♥ 10:47pm coelacanth∅: haha i just noticed i typed i "would" buy a dragon on principal if i could. i'll assume anyone who cares knows i meant "i would NOT"!
	🦭 ♥ 10:48pm doctorjazz: Mine is probably 3-4 treats younger, though I needed most of it refurbished a few years ago...not much left of the original.
	10:48pm Dean: I've also heard less than ideal audio via Wilson, Krell, you name the big shots.
	10:49pm Dean: I really need a check-up. I kept mine up to date for years until Linn introduced upgrades that would have run double what I paid for the originals.
	🦭 ♥ 10:52pm doctorjazz: I'm on a quest to get my sleep up to 8 hours a night (got it to 7-7.5 so far, not that easy for an old night tripper). So, I'm clocking out, catch the rest in the archives. Thanks, Danny!
	♥ 10:54pm Little Danny: @NGH: so with you regarding JaMC and Broadcast
	♥ 10:55pm Little Danny: I don't think you should go, doc
	🦭 ♥ 10:55pm coelacanth∅: i've heard (or probably read) good things about linn; but i'm very satisfied with my not-fancy equipment.
	🦭 ♥ 10:56pm coelacanth∅: gnight doc
	10:58pm still b/p: My 28 year old Trek bike is a beater and a heavy mother and fairly perfect for what I need. You spend $2500 and you get a bike you can lift with two fingers of one hand, but you gotta worry about it and spend like crazy on parts.
	🦭 ♥ 10:59pm chresti: 7 hours are considered sufficient
	🦭 ♥ 11:03pm coelacanth∅: still, absolutely. you hit a pothole on a $3000. road bike and then you buy a new rim. i go up over cubs and throw it onto my car roof (no bike rack) and i know it's fine. if someone's not competing then why would one need such a light, perfectly tuned bicycle? afraid of getting more of a workout?!
	🦭 ♥ 11:04pm coelacanth∅: "cubs"... no - curbs.
	♥ 11:09pm northguineahills: coel likes to run over baby bears, you monster!
	🦭 ♥ 11:11pm coelacanth∅: -only dancing 'dead baby bears!
	11:12pm still b/p: Well, for some it's bikes, for some it's cars, for some it's audio, for some it's golf clubs, for some it's an RV, for some it's outdoor gear...standards and wants and focused interest and pursuit, in personal algorithm of budget and psychology. coel, pedaling like mad, gets chased around and out by Wrigley Field groundskeepers every season.
	11:13pm Dean: For some it's poetry.
	🦭 ♥ 11:16pm coelacanth∅: s b/p how did you know that was me -without my fish costume?
	11:17pm still b/p: Of course, for some 'round here, it's rekkids! Some happy purchaser of a nutso price-tag bike might say, "You paid WHAT for that 45?"
	🦭 ♥ 11:19pm coelacanth∅: if i had lots of money...
	11:23pm Dean: When friends mention my love of music I'm often inclined to make a correction: I like to play records. I'm not musically astute at all.
	🦭 ♥ 11:24pm coelacanth∅: i don't think i actually go overboard with anything. some people would say i do, but it's all relative. the most i ever spent on a 45 was $20. an lp,$30. a camera, $13-1400. including lenses and stuff. a bicycle, $600. recording equipment $780. cassette deck, $500. ... sushi, $45. ?
	🦭 ♥ 11:25pm coelacanth∅: (all these thing one could spend several times more for)
	11:25pm Dean: I would, if I could, easily spend several tens of thousands on amplifiers. No question.
	🦭 ♥ 11:28pm coelacanth∅: if i had lots of money i'd have a house with some extra room and i'd probably buy at least 20 albums/week for a few years. (average)
	🦭 ♥ 11:28pm chresti: So, what's the best for under 300 dollars?
	♥ 11:28pm northguineahills: Thanks, LD and friends! I'm fading, ciao!
	11:28pm Martinibomb: Loving the mix tonight.
	11:29pm Dean: You're right, coel. The single most important component in a good system is the room. Plenty of great equipment, chresti, at that price point.
	🦭 ♥ 11:29pm coelacanth∅: yes what Martini said
	♥ 11:30pm Little Danny: Thanks martinibomb! I am too!
	🦭 ♥ 11:30pm chresti: Me three, loving every minute!
	🦭 ♥ 11:30pm coelacanth∅: (i buy used amps and my criteria is different than most folks')
	11:31pm Martinibomb: I'm working on getting my radio show sounding better for the sheenas stream.. so similar issues hah
	🦭 ♥ 11:32pm coelacanth∅: i wonder what's the top price Danny's paid for a 45... an album...
	🦭 ♥ 11:32pm chresti: There's a record store nearby that sells restored equipment
	11:33pm Dean: I've had my amps since...1994! 175W monoblocks from Muse Electronics. They're beautiful, but damn, if I could afford 50-100K the amps'd be, uh, better.
	🦭 ♥ 11:33pm coelacanth∅: (plasticglands)
	🦭 ♥ 11:34pm chresti: Loved the plasticglands
	🦭 ♥ 11:37pm coelacanth∅: gang of 4 said the worst thing in 1954 was the bikini. i wonder what they think of the 1947 bikini...
	🦭 ♥ 11:39pm coelacanth∅: (i know...before someone corrects me -they weren't talking about clothing)
	♥ 11:43pm Little Danny: OMG coel I'd be embarrassed to tell you how much I've paid for certain records over the years.
	11:48pm Dean: I don't pay too much for records on a per unit basis, because there are so many great records at every price point. Bought a bunch of great records recently for one or two bucks each. But I spend a shit-ton on records in the aggregate.
	🦭 ♥ 11:51pm coelacanth∅: i've heard mentioned by wfmu people of spending $200. on a single. pre-internet i spent 20 on one and now it's available for <$7.
	11:52pm Dean: I sold that $200 single.
	🦭 ♥ 11:53pm chresti: 20 is about as high as I can go, unless it's on layaway.
	🦭 ♥ 11:54pm coelacanth∅: well, i bought the x-ray spex album for 5 bucks new when it came out and just a couple years later saw it for $100. in a store, used. got my hopes up; but the internet has screwed that all up.
	🦭 ♥ 11:56pm chresti: I collect music, no matter the source
	🦭 ♥ 11:57pm chresti: This is great, thanks LD!
	🦭 ♥ 11:58pm coelacanth∅: me too, although things have been tight for a while now...and living situations precarious. i've got around 3000 albums, mostly stored at my sister's house. if (when) she moves i've got a problem!
	🦭 ♥ 11:59pm coelacanth∅: (+4-500 45s, 600? cds, 15-1600 cassettes...some 8-tracks)
	🦭 ♥ 12:02am coelacanth∅: Great program Danny Thanks! tchau peeps
	🦭 ♥ 12:02am chresti: Yeah, WFMU is my primary music source, recently
	♥ 12:03am Little Danny: Thanks babes! See y'all around!

	🦭 ♥ 10:29pm doctorjazz: He's got a lot of shows (and high rez digital files), I'll see how many terabytes he fills. (I wanted a Dragon too, but didn't/couldn't spring for one. Of course, my taper friend had one). Also had a Sony D6, that tapers liked. I tried doing the taping thing, but it made me anxious sneaking the gear into clubs, and you had to be perfectly quiet and still to get a good recording, which killed the enjoyment of the show, so I quit pretty quickly.
	🦭 ♥ 10:33pm coelacanth∅: someone "challenged" me to a mixtape exchange sometime last year. (he thinks he's a genius in the music department) i asked him how his is coming along, maybe a month later, and he didn't know what i was talking about. (he was drunk) i hadn't made mine yet, so i didn't bother.
	🦭 ♥ 10:34pm chresti: We had a portable radio/cassette player/recorder that I would record radio shows with, and listen to mixtapes.
	🦭 ♥ 10:35pm doctorjazz: Still Soundslike mono on my set up, is it?
	🦭 ♥ 10:36pm coelacanth∅: isn't the dragon like a high-end canondale, or a ferrari sergio? ...about 6-10% better than those that cost about 90% less?
	🦭 ♥ 10:36pm doctorjazz: (I pointed this out on another show a while back, and the DJ had missed a setting).
	🦭 ♥ 10:37pm coelacanth∅: i would buy a dragon, on principal.
	♥ 10:37pm Little Danny: Hmm, let me look into that, doc
	🦭 ♥ 10:37pm chresti: Haha ferrari sergio
	🦭 ♥ 10:37pm coelacanth∅: (if i could)
	♥ 10:38pm Little Danny: barely keepin' up with the comments - will get to y'all in turn my luvs!
	🦭 ♥ 10:38pm doctorjazz: Sure Coel, but there's gold in that 10%
	🦭 ♥ 10:39pm chresti: Now I want a Sergio Dragon
	10:39pm Dean: High-end audio is all about that last mile, which is indeed often worth a seemingly disproportionate marginal adjustment.
	10:40pm Dean: And yet it works the other way, too. I replaced my cheap-ass CD transport with another one. Big improvement. (But nothing comes close to the Linn Karik/Numerik, which is decidedly not cheap-ass.)
	🦭 ♥ 10:41pm coelacanth∅: disproportionate. thank you. i wouldn't buy a cannondale bicycle either. a $400. mountain bike is excellent and functions beautifully. why would i spend another $2600. for something that...is excellent, and functions beautifully?
	🦭 ♥ 10:42pm doctorjazz: Love my Linn turntable, their digital is great as well.
	🦭 ♥ 10:43pm coelacanth∅: well, there's cheapass and there's cheapass. i wouldn't get a top of the line realistic brand cassette deck!
	10:43pm Dean: Linn is terrific, despite their almost Amway-like approach to marketing. Best system I've ever heard was all Linn. I love my Linn 'table, too. I've had it since '83.
	♥ 10:44pm northguineahills: Love anything Broadcast related, and Haha, especially. Time for spicy pierogis!
	🦭 ♥ 10:44pm coelacanth∅: i think it's time for a beer
	🦭 ♥ 10:47pm coelacanth∅: haha i just noticed i typed i "would" buy a dragon on principal if i could. i'll assume anyone who cares knows i meant "i would NOT"!
	🦭 ♥ 10:48pm doctorjazz: Mine is probably 3-4 treats younger, though I needed most of it refurbished a few years ago...not much left of the original.
	10:48pm Dean: I've also heard less than ideal audio via Wilson, Krell, you name the big shots.
	10:49pm Dean: I really need a check-up. I kept mine up to date for years until Linn introduced upgrades that would have run double what I paid for the originals.
	🦭 ♥ 10:52pm doctorjazz: I'm on a quest to get my sleep up to 8 hours a night (got it to 7-7.5 so far, not that easy for an old night tripper). So, I'm clocking out, catch the rest in the archives. Thanks, Danny!
	♥ 10:54pm Little Danny: @NGH: so with you regarding JaMC and Broadcast
	♥ 10:55pm Little Danny: I don't think you should go, doc
	🦭 ♥ 10:55pm coelacanth∅: i've heard (or probably read) good things about linn; but i'm very satisfied with my not-fancy equipment.
	🦭 ♥ 10:56pm coelacanth∅: gnight doc
	10:58pm still b/p: My 28 year old Trek bike is a beater and a heavy mother and fairly perfect for what I need. You spend $2500 and you get a bike you can lift with two fingers of one hand, but you gotta worry about it and spend like crazy on parts.
	🦭 ♥ 10:59pm chresti: 7 hours are considered sufficient
	🦭 ♥ 11:03pm coelacanth∅: still, absolutely. you hit a pothole on a $3000. road bike and then you buy a new rim. i go up over cubs and throw it onto my car roof (no bike rack) and i know it's fine. if someone's not competing then why would one need such a light, perfectly tuned bicycle? afraid of getting more of a workout?!
	🦭 ♥ 11:04pm coelacanth∅: "cubs"... no - curbs.
	♥ 11:09pm northguineahills: coel likes to run over baby bears, you monster!
	🦭 ♥ 11:11pm coelacanth∅: -only dancing 'dead baby bears!
	11:12pm still b/p: Well, for some it's bikes, for some it's cars, for some it's audio, for some it's golf clubs, for some it's an RV, for some it's outdoor gear...standards and wants and focused interest and pursuit, in personal algorithm of budget and psychology. coel, pedaling like mad, gets chased around and out by Wrigley Field groundskeepers every season.
	11:13pm Dean: For some it's poetry.
	🦭 ♥ 11:16pm coelacanth∅: s b/p how did you know that was me -without my fish costume?
	11:17pm still b/p: Of course, for some 'round here, it's rekkids! Some happy purchaser of a nutso price-tag bike might say, "You paid WHAT for that 45?"
	🦭 ♥ 11:19pm coelacanth∅: if i had lots of money...
	11:23pm Dean: When friends mention my love of music I'm often inclined to make a correction: I like to play records. I'm not musically astute at all.
	🦭 ♥ 11:24pm coelacanth∅: i don't think i actually go overboard with anything. some people would say i do, but it's all relative. the most i ever spent on a 45 was $20. an lp,$30. a camera, $13-1400. including lenses and stuff. a bicycle, $600. recording equipment $780. cassette deck, $500. ... sushi, $45. ?
	🦭 ♥ 11:25pm coelacanth∅: (all these thing one could spend several times more for)
	11:25pm Dean: I would, if I could, easily spend several tens of thousands on amplifiers. No question.
	🦭 ♥ 11:28pm coelacanth∅: if i had lots of money i'd have a house with some extra room and i'd probably buy at least 20 albums/week for a few years. (average)
	🦭 ♥ 11:28pm chresti: So, what's the best for under 300 dollars?
	♥ 11:28pm northguineahills: Thanks, LD and friends! I'm fading, ciao!
	11:28pm Martinibomb: Loving the mix tonight.
	11:29pm Dean: You're right, coel. The single most important component in a good system is the room. Plenty of great equipment, chresti, at that price point.
	🦭 ♥ 11:29pm coelacanth∅: yes what Martini said
	♥ 11:30pm Little Danny: Thanks martinibomb! I am too!
	🦭 ♥ 11:30pm chresti: Me three, loving every minute!
	🦭 ♥ 11:30pm coelacanth∅: (i buy used amps and my criteria is different than most folks')
	11:31pm Martinibomb: I'm working on getting my radio show sounding better for the sheenas stream.. so similar issues hah
	🦭 ♥ 11:32pm coelacanth∅: i wonder what's the top price Danny's paid for a 45... an album...
	🦭 ♥ 11:32pm chresti: There's a record store nearby that sells restored equipment
	11:33pm Dean: I've had my amps since...1994! 175W monoblocks from Muse Electronics. They're beautiful, but damn, if I could afford 50-100K the amps'd be, uh, better.
	🦭 ♥ 11:33pm coelacanth∅: (plasticglands)
	🦭 ♥ 11:34pm chresti: Loved the plasticglands
	🦭 ♥ 11:37pm coelacanth∅: gang of 4 said the worst thing in 1954 was the bikini. i wonder what they think of the 1947 bikini...
	🦭 ♥ 11:39pm coelacanth∅: (i know...before someone corrects me -they weren't talking about clothing)
	♥ 11:43pm Little Danny: OMG coel I'd be embarrassed to tell you how much I've paid for certain records over the years.
	11:48pm Dean: I don't pay too much for records on a per unit basis, because there are so many great records at every price point. Bought a bunch of great records recently for one or two bucks each. But I spend a shit-ton on records in the aggregate.
	🦭 ♥ 11:51pm coelacanth∅: i've heard mentioned by wfmu people of spending $200. on a single. pre-internet i spent 20 on one and now it's available for <$7.
	11:52pm Dean: I sold that $200 single.
	🦭 ♥ 11:53pm chresti: 20 is about as high as I can go, unless it's on layaway.
	🦭 ♥ 11:54pm coelacanth∅: well, i bought the x-ray spex album for 5 bucks new when it came out and just a couple years later saw it for $100. in a store, used. got my hopes up; but the internet has screwed that all up.
	🦭 ♥ 11:56pm chresti: I collect music, no matter the source
	🦭 ♥ 11:57pm chresti: This is great, thanks LD!
	🦭 ♥ 11:58pm coelacanth∅: me too, although things have been tight for a while now...and living situations precarious. i've got around 3000 albums, mostly stored at my sister's house. if (when) she moves i've got a problem!
	🦭 ♥ 11:59pm coelacanth∅: (+4-500 45s, 600? cds, 15-1600 cassettes...some 8-tracks)
	🦭 ♥ 12:02am coelacanth∅: Great program Danny Thanks! tchau peeps
	🦭 ♥ 12:02am chresti: Yeah, WFMU is my primary music source, recently
	♥ 12:03am Little Danny: Thanks babes! See y'all around!
