If you ever go to visit the LBJ ranch near Stonewall, be sure to stop by the El Rey Chocolates free tasting room right there in Stonewall on US 290. The chocolates all come from Venezuela which has some of the very best chocolate in the world. Then go on to tour the wineries from there to Fredricksberg. 20-30 of 'em in that area, several with international award winning wines.

I'd put up quite a few countries against Venezuela and chocolate.

And musicians.
SRV.
SRV.
Stevie Ray Vaughn's instrumental version of Hendrix's 'Little Wing' is possibly the most perfect piece of music a person could ever hope to hear.

Seen him doit live 2 different times.. A true artist who never played it the same way twice.. Every time he played a song.. he always did something a little different.... His performances live could just be so galvanizing..... Definitely wasn't a cookie cutter guitarist...

I have over 100+ each in 8 tracks, cassettes, CDs, I know I have SRV in cassette......the only cassette players left are a few boomboxes and our car (special ordered it new with a 6 disc CD changer in the dash)....nice.
Need ro get SRV in CD. Do not have nor want vinyl now.
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -
I will be stopping in Port Arthur for tomorrow on my way back to Houston or I’ll catch my flight back home on Monday

Horse manure. You want to kiss texan a holes....pucker up and enjoy. We.play Texas 10 time, we win 9. Texas will be eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. Lucky team
Like the Steelers.
If you want to say the Texans got lucky, be my guest. Or you can say their defense forced Baker into making rookie mistakes in the first half. They essentially shut down Chubb (9 carries, 31 yards) and were forcing Mayfield to beat them. A good recipe for success when you're facing a rookie qb.
They're not lucky- they have a pretty solid team. They can clinch their division by beating the Colts at home this Sunday.

look man they have a stout defense but c'mon you make it out like they are super bowl contenders so unless they some how draw baltimore in the first round i would bet they are one and done also are defense held their offense to one T.D thats right just one

vinyl is the way to go superior sound compared to cd also if you buy a new record they come with a download code so you can also put music on your favorite device and one more also cassette is coming back I have noticed them at bands merch tables

My last phonograph which I bought around 1977 from Sears great stereo and speakers with dual casssttes comptely died years ago.
Vinyl was cool and great sound....back then.

Unless they've figured out a way to get the snap crackle and pop out of vinyl, I'll pass. I gave away my extensive collection of vinyl last year. I won't argue with you, but MHO vinyl can't touch the dynamic range of CD And Blu-Ray. Warmer sound? I'm a damn critical listener, and sorry if I don't notice it. Seriously, cassete is a joke sound quality wise, unless you're into nostalgia.
Now-a-days it's your phone and a Bose speaker.
And I'm sure you know what Bose stands for among serious audiophiles? Buy Other Sound Equipment.
The hoorta's Man Cave features a Pioneer Elite 7.1 @ 130 watts\ channel, all channels driven, plus a nice 750 watt subwoofer linear down 10 hz. I can put you on the beach for "Saving Private Ryan", or in the front row for AC\DC. I can pump out 110db continuous- probably more, that's just stupid loud, I've never maxed it out- and I'm not kidding. Don't do that anymore, it's overkill.
LOL, for kicks and giggles, I'd like to pump 1,000 watts into a Bose radio, the one that can easily replace your sound system. To quote a guy from HiDef Forum - "yep, blowed up real good."

Actually, if you want to get technical, vinyl has far better 'dynamic range' than CDs.
CDs are most often very 'compressed' (brickwalled), so they sound LOUDER.
Louder is not dynamic range.
Compression is the opposite of dynamic range.
I'm an audio nerd.

And when you happen to get an uncompressed DVD concert? Sure, my system can play at rock concert levels if I have the mind. That's not what I'm about anymore. Nothing more annoying to my mind than listening to vinyl and hearing the occasional (or not so occasional) pop. One of the great selling points of CDs and DVDs as opposed to vinyl. How many guys are using clean room standards when they play those records? And seriously, does it make any difference if we're cutting out upper level harmonics that are insanely above any human beings ability to hear? I'd have to look it up, but I doubt vinyl can reproduce those subsonics that you can't hear- but sure can feel in some movies. Specifically, my SVS sub is set up to be flat down to 10 hz.
And on top of that, how many guys have sound systems that are good enough, and speakers with flat enough response to tell the difference? 1\10 of 1%?
Cassettes? Play 'em on an audiophile system and even with Dolby noise reduction, I could still hear hiss. Why mine are gathering dust.

if you buy a new 180 gram vinyl it's pure sound no pops at all

To each their own, I suppose. I'm way past using my turntable for anything. I don't even have it hooked into my system anymore. I had an extensive collection of vinyl from the '70s and 80s that I gave away. (It happens when you get old, and haven't listened to any of it in years)
And should I add um sort of hard to produce true lossless 5.1 sound on a turntable. Impressive having those fireworks in Lord of the Rings, Fellowship of the Rings zooming over your head.

Me personally.. I think Analogue sounds better as far as warmth and natural sounds go... Digital is harsh sounding for recording guitars.... You lose a lot of bottom end and natural compression.. Digital winds up sounding thin and brittle.. MP3 format is the worst.. MP3's break down easy and MP3 files sound a bit fuzzy and distorted over time.. the trade off is MP3's are small files compared to FLAC and WAV. When it comes to Amplifiers.. I prefer the sound of Power vacuum tubes to SS circuitry.. Yeah.. SS is cleaner.. but.. its really hard to shape the tone like you can with Vacuum tubes...two different animals completely.. but , I digress!
