Surgery Scheduled

Kind of like the vinyl I find for you!

Hey STAL - when I visited PBJ last week he gave me a bunch of RTR tapes - including some RCA Red Seal tapes.  They have a bunch of classical and orchestra music recorded at 3.5" ips - so shitty HF response; I am tempted to erase one and see how good they record  (I can do this as my decks do record - unlike the certain Revox decks owned by people that shall remain unnamed).

Guess I am a Red Seal recordings fan.

Don't want to get too technical,  but you forgot to capitalize God - The Old Man is very particular about that.   I have faith that the surgery will go fine and you will be better off as a result.     And I am glad you have Spotify or Tidal but unclear as to why you maintain both.   As your Mexican financial advisor, I recommend you simplify your supplier base and reduce music subscription expense in half.  Or, you may want to dump both and subscribe to Pepe's "cassette-of-the-month" club.  You get one 90 minute normal-bias cassette by mail the second week of ea mth, magnetized with a mix of Latin music of my choice (feedback is discouraged, if you don't like my choices you need to work on that),  properly recorded in a calibrated deck using Dolby B,  all for $50 a month.  The premium subscription upgrades you to a type II TDK cassette recorded with Dolby C and HX Pro for $75/mth.   What a deal!  Either option is as logical as having both Tidal and Spotify. Did I drive that point home?

PBJ's new setup with the Amazing Silvers sounds great BTW - much better than the old Mac speakers IMO.

Happy snow shoveling!!

I can't really get my head around this one...  OBG, do you really think a jew is going to take financial advice from a mexican?  Also, he has Spotify as his backup when I'm using Tidal.  We mix and match based on who is using what.

He's not even hear to defend himself!  That's low!  Like...low-rider low!

OT - Pepe, The cassette of the month was very funny!!!

Ya mean he was kidding?

Better yet, spool the old tape to a spare then spool some really good blank tape on there, then record the vinyl.   Or even better I can declick the vinyl and send you the 24/96 file to record on to your good tape on the factory reel.

[OldiesButGoodies]

The program is $50/mth IF users return the original tape every other month. Otherwise a Mexican cassette core charge applies of $15/unreturned-cassette.

This daddy-son gig they got going to share Tidal and Spotify was not foreseen by my analysts.  We think each account should go to a separate cost center.

Summing up: junior needs to get his own Tidal account,  or subscribe to Pepe's Cassette-of-the-Month club.  Cut the umbilical!

Good luck Brad!  I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers!

Best wishes and a speedy recovery.  Stay strong.

[papabearjew]

Thanks for all the well wishes everyone!  It means a lot. Hopefully 7-10 days and I'll be home. Last time I had surgery I was in hospital for 2 weeks and a skilled nursing home for a month. If that happens again I expect you guys to set up a decent hifi in my room for me!  Unfortunately the nurses are rarely much to look at. Would it be inappropriate to request only hot female nurses?  I need constant entertainment once I'm not sleeping all the time

[Mongojustpawn]

PBJ, sorry, can't help you with the gear, as for the  hot nurses, never hurts to ask, surely be good for your morale and encourage visitation.

[Sir Thrift-a-Lot]

Most nurses aren't really all that pretty.   If you ever have a stroke, most speech therapists are really hot.   I don't know why, but it has always been the case in any of the facilities I go to.   Look around, pick out the prettiest girl and I'll lay 5 to 1 she is a speech therapist.

Of you don't have a stroke, I suppose you could tell them you are getting food stuck in your throat and see if they send one up.
