fab actor, will be sorely missed....never forgot the magic of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory..even to this day it's a treat to watch. laughed my ass off at 'Young Frankenstein' (final scene: ...''so honey the monster got your brain...but what part of the monster did you get?...'' and they're playing sharades in trying to figure out what shot to tranquilize him with while being strangled or with the timeless marty feldman on getting the wrong brain...''a.b. normal

thanks guys...keep the feedback coming. right now i'm streaming why you ask? because I stupidly sold alot of my CDs a few yrs ago before i moved to a new place.. .just wasn't into audio back then as I am now. back to streaming: I was with apple, then moved to spotify premium, then lately (again) tidal hifi. just did more research and came across these 2 interesting blind tests comparing streaming. seems that Tidal's supposed superior ''hif fi'' cd quality 44.1 makes little difference in the end if the source is not so well produced/mastered...which is why i'm back to buying my own material, too. see both the videos and comments afterwords...interesting. recently from CNBC: ''Hi-fi music streaming: People can't tell it when they hear it" http://www.cnbc.com/...ey-hear-it.html and last summer, from 'the verge': ''what sounds better: apple, tidal, or spotify''? http://www.theverge....io-quality-test then there is also the 7digital.com etc where I can download flac, too.... but even 24/196 people are suspect if one can truly detect the difference for their premium offerings i have good enough iems (flc 8s), dragonfly red and chord mojo for portable dac/amps....still learning and finding out. while i don't mind spending money, don't want to break the bank.

and why? they owe us nothing....have earned their millions, given 40 yrs of great music. one thing that really brings this home to me, aside from Neil's ongoing aches and pains is his age: he just had another kid 7 or so yrs ago, what at age 56 or something...being mid 60s now or so and at a late period in his life...he's probably not going to be around to become a grand dad...so he wants to spend as much time with his family as he can....makes perfect sense and i'm happy for him.

the sector boxes...those are at amazon, too, i presume? also this from Rush's own site, when I asked about the quality of their CDs: Thanks for your email. All our CD's appears to be remastered from Anthem's original tapes. Thanks and have a nice day. Yours, -- Customer Service Team Showtech Merchandising Inc. www.showtech.com

thanks, Lucas...and if I was to download flac, should I stick with the 2015 releases (remastered by sean mcgee abby road studio) as 2nd best? ...have you heard the two, side by side (msfl vs 2015 flac)...is there a signif difference warranting the costs?

hi guys...trying to update my collection and buy new Rush cds or flac. on the steve hoffman forums they talk alot about how certain remasters can sound better or worse, given limited dynamic range, etc. ...of course the 2015 remasters by Sean McGee at Abbyroad studios have alot of good buzz...and i can download that flac from 7 digital (hd tracks not available in canada). but i'm thinking of buying good sounding CDs and ripping them myself to my windows laptop, then to my ipod touch 6 (paired with either dragonfly red or chord mojo for portable use).\ any series you can suggest I look at please? amazon has a bunch of them, but still researching. ps: anyone see the final aug 20th tragically hip concert, live in Kingston, Ont? beforehand i was a meh-ish hip fan...sure i knew some of their songs and even had their live cd...but after that concert i'm a born again hipster and am ordering a bunch of their cds. god bless gord downie and those close to him: hope they all have a ton of TLC in the trying days ahead.
