The atmosphere around Wrigleyville is kind of cool, but the stadium is an absolute toilet bowl.

I have no idea what flag you’re talking about. But I’m not a fan of the Cubs at all, and I mostly pay attention to the game on the field more than the regional traditions that surround each team. Plus, being a Royals fan, I don’t see very many NL games.

GA, I just realized this thread is four and a half years old! Surely these speaker wires aren’t connected to your original request?

Nice! I've never heard anything bad about Beyerdynamic. They and Audio Technica arguably offer the best "budget" headphones on the market. Also, your Walkman probably has Bluetooth 4.x or maybe even AptX. Whereas your erstwhile iPod likely had 2.0, which would explain the sound quality boost.

Kevin speaks the truth! Never had a problem with infection myself, but those small copper strands can be painful nonetheless.

I just use wire cutters and a knife. Super easy. Just hit up your local hardware store and pick up a set of wirecutters. If you don't have a sharp knife already, then also pick up a cheap pocket knife.

Unfortunately, yes. Bunch of little bitches. It's definitely the most embarrassing aspect of baseball.

I've heard so many bad reviews of it, I've never visited in my MANY trips to KC (at least twice, annually).

Brilliant troll job!

I'll believe it when they actually announce it. But it would make sense since many have stopped purchasing downloads and converted to streaming.

What do you have? Are you trying to attach terminations, or just connecting the bare wire to your speakers?

I think we have a new hilarious contender! https://pitchfork.com/news/high-definition-vinyl-is-happening-possibly-as-early-as-next-year/ My favorite line: "The HD vinyl process involves converting audio digitally to a 3D topographic map."

Agreed. Kelly was playing his ass off! His solo on All Blues is just spectacular.

Enjoy! I was just listening to it again last night.

Um, that’s actually not on you, then. Terrible customer service...

I guess I’ve been living right. I can definitely see those things happening to me, due to my incredibly useless memory. So far, so good/lucky...

Really? I don’t recall that ever happening to me. Fortunately, I guess.

Yeah, we still have a landline, too. So YOU get off of MY lawn! Goddamn kids! You're right about movie soundtracks being better on discs, but I have to admit that I've never seen a difference in picture quality. But, in fairness, my living room tv is a ten year old LCD...

Good lord! They weren't even that much at the stadiums before!

No, I certainly wasn't suggesting you throw anything out! The only physical media I've bought over the last five years were a few box sets. Everything else is either downloads, or streaming.

It's not just today's generation. I know many cats my age (47) and older that have completely weened themselves off of physical media.

I haven't owned one since 2012. Physical disc media is pretty much dead. Even Oppo announced a few days ago that they were shutting down all their production. I think that once lossy codecs finally caught up to lossless audibly it was all over but the crying.

Well, that throws a wrench in the machine!

Bigly!

Ah, ok. That makes sense. I wasn't aware the DSD had to be bounced down to PCM. Thanks for explaining that!
