Interesting that the comeback of vinyl coincides with the thread of mastering for a subwoofer.
If you don't know lower frequencies require more space on the LP surface.
And now we have some interesting solutions to it.

I cancelled the Apple Music, as the software experience on android is just painful.
And I don't want to pay Spotify as it is hurting the music industry.
For now i'm listening to only my offline library on VLC.
I decided to buy digital copies of albums, instead of paying for a subscription.

Was pumped for Apple Lossless! It's mostly great, but some albums, like Lola Young's "This Wasn't Meant For You Anyway," sound different from the CD master. Distorted sections are muffled and sound like 120kbps. This may be due to "Apple Digital Master." Just wish they'd use the original CD master.

Scored the Wharfedale Diamonds 9.1, and tested them side by side with my Polk Monitors 30.
Got blown away by the amount of details and clarity but don't know if I will keep them, as they desperately need a subwoofer, and I don't want to bring another thing in my living room.

So today I went to the apple store and... No, I can't login to their devices with my account. I've tried to login in the browser on Mac in case it would have a different interface, but no. And the only option they suggested to me is to buy an apple device, login, change settings and return it!

Yesterday a cat broke into our apartment as soon as I opened the doors, of course it was a neighbour's cat, but now I'm scrolling over cat adoption sites.

Decided to switch from Spotify to Apple Music with my wife's family plan. Couldn't join because of an old 2017 family sharing group I'm stuck in. Support's advice: go to an Apple Store, use their device, and delete it from there, since I don't own an Apple device.
Thanks, Apple, very convenient!

What is going on this time around with the Chicago Air and Water show? 2 windows were busted in my building. Aren't they aware that they are flying over dense neighborhoods. People can be injured, especially if windows on higher floors will be broken.

Nowadays even simple job applications are going to take me like 20 minutes filling out the form for all my jobs I had in 18 years.
Only to get an auto-generated rejection letter because my resume is not matching 100% with their stack.

Fuuuuuuu...
Bought a promo copy of "Limp Bizkit - Gold Cobra" and was so excited about it, until I started to listen to it.
Turned out it was a "clean version" without swear words.
Such a ridiculous thing, some songs just miss third or words.
But definitely will keep it as a fun artifact.

This is me hauling a heavy rocking chair on a folding dolly.
First on the sidewalk, then on the subway.
Felt like a landmark, everyone was looking and taking pictures.
Initially I thought about renting a pickup but then I thought how I was going to lift it and decided that my back won't forgive me

I bought into the audiophile community hype and bought myself one of the ugliest CD players in history.
Full disclosure, I've been looking for a long time for a desktop cd player for headphone listening.

Marketing has become a mindless and merciless punitive machine these days. I bought windshield wipers for my car some time ago and now they send me emails every three days.
Guys, it doesn't work this way, I don't change my wipers every week!

Something is fundamentally broken in our age of digital content.
If with physical media, the market can regulate the price, with digital copies, only copyright holder set the price.
Here's an example, when digital copy is almost twice as expensive as new CD, and I can buy used one for $4.
