My good buddy from work is a musician and a lover of classic rock. He has been to a bunch of concerts around Europe. The latest one was last week, BOC in Slovenia. He gave me permission to post some shots here.

This latest one where they added (antisocial media) profiles does not allow me to get to Settings anymore. And after I try to go to Settings, I can no longer navigate to anything. Any other victims?

On the scamazon website for Unlimited Music HD I see only a Spanish page, have no idea why since my account was opened in English and I'm not in Spain. I clicked several buttons and all I get is the web player page. When I go to the microshaft store app, I can see it but it's not available in...

Hi Guys, Here https://archive.org/details/V-discs1-991943-1944 is a page that has 10 torrents for the V-Disc collection that was uploaded to archive.org I haven't checked yet to see if the torrents are seeded or have any uploaders. If you don't know what the V-Discs were there is some info...

Once in a while I need to do a web call and my new cam has a microphone but I have no PC speakers. I don't need USB speakers necessarily since I have a few DACs on the desk. Speakers with coax input would be preferable. Can anybody recommend tiny speakers that will sound ok for voice calls...

I'm sure there are threads on this but I haven't seen any. I got a Yamaha ministack a few years ago and when I tried the MusicCast Android app it insisted on location services. So I deleted the app and never used it. I tried again this weekend and the app is amazing! I was using a node 2i on...

I was trying to see if the Lumin U2 mini is available here but I haven't found any. What are the current production transport-only streamers?

I've seen a few pics of setups where people are stacking equipment that doesn't really fit very well on top of the equipment they're stacking. I'd like to start a thread where people can show pics of how they stack equipment that doesn't have similar friendly dimensions. So please post pics of...

We used to be able to add quotes to posts using tags. It seems the interface changed at some point and now once we post something it's impossible to clean it up, which leads to multiple posts in the same thread instead of just fixing our post to contain the additional quotes. And it's harder to...

I need a webcam occasionally for meetings. I bought a Rollei and it doesn't get along with the office computer. Worse, people say I sound like I'm inside a tunnel over the mic so I have to use a headset to be heard. Can anybody recommend a good 1080p webcam with great quality audio? My seating...

I was thinking of grabbing a pair of these in 600 ohm. They really cry out for a balanced cable but stock they're single entry. I am looking over the forums now, the pics I have seen of the solder lugs look reasonable. Is it easy to work on these without burning up wiring? Are these headphones...

I wanted a pair of HE-6SE but they're 2000 euros here, so not happening. Is a pair of HE-560s worth a thousand? (Answer, apparently not. And they went out of stock so I didn't get burned for 700 euros...) I don't have any hifiman cans so I would like to add something good to the stable. I read...

Hello Hifiman, I see the HE6SE is selling at a good price, but I emailed and was told they are shipping from China. Importing here is very expensive and annoying. Can you locate a new pair in the EU for the same price + shipping which you are charging in America? Please feel free to send me...

Guys, I used to make radio cables with crimped and soldered connectors but it was grumble mumble years ago. I'm thinking about getting a crimper to make 75 ohm coaxial cables with BNC connectors. It seems kinda hard to figure out which tool(s) and crimp inserts are needed for audio coax. The...

I've been using a Lenovo Tiny as a music appliance. It's the size of a fat paperback book and has all the right stuff except that the fan is annoying. I'd like to find something similar but fanless. I saw some minix boxes online, not easy to buy from here. They look like they have the right...

It seems more and more difficult to buy anything between crazy laws, regional services, Brexit etc. Does anybody know of EU countries with foreigner-friendly banking systems? I'd like to consider setting up additional accounts online.
