What are you listening to?

I've read "AI" as artificial intelligence and at once a Supremium idea got in my mind and I stopped reading immediately

Damn those pesky fonts.

And if you want to waste some time (which you'll never get back), check this out (or maybe just ruminate on the title :

Göran Söderström: “Fonts are like songs – you can always compose a new great one”

For me font designing is comparable to composing music. Even though millions of songs already have been composed, you can always compose a new tune. ...

Thought it was Paul Simon, myself. But then maybe it's Al Stewart who shared a London flat with a younger Paul Simon...

Or "The names in the song came from an incident at a party that Simon went to with his then-wife Peggy Harper. French composer and conductor Pierre Boulez, who was attending the same party, mistakenly referred to Paul as "Al" and to Peggy as "Betty", inspiring Simon to write a song."?

Good morning.
First: Did anyone notice that strange (new?) sorting and naming from tracks in albums in the Qobuz app?
To stay in nostalgia I heard again this luxurious edition of the album. If I remember right the original version is on CD3 of the box.

I would not know. I have vinyl. The peculiar thing is that there is no traditional cover. The container is a round tin box. Same as the one depicted on your image

Hi @Achim1811

Metal and me....I am a die hard Maiden, Priest and more or less all the NWOBHM bands. But I am definitively out as soon as it comes to growling and so on. And what gets really ridiculous for me more and more is the cover "art". Always the same bull..t.
And when I hear so many musicians from the 2nd and 3rd line babbling about their "rage" while going to office during the week...

Too snobby. Something unpretentious like the good old Nautilus beside our Jakuzi

@Achim1811 Is it your famous cave?

No, thats our bathroom for guests. And the two Nautilus are the back speakers, two others are used as front speakers. No subwoofer needed
Our own bath is to big for a photo...

Ah! Now we're here. It seemed a little too simple and unadorned to me.
But for guests it may be fine.

No, from Egypt. It was a present from Bill Gates a while ago. Been delivered by seven trucks in total. Would not insist in details, Billy is a little bit special..

Of course. How could be otherwise?

What about the fossil? Is it a fish or something else.? Where's that from? (so many questions and so little time)

It is a Dolichorhynchops, easy to identify. Lived a few years ago in North America. I like fossils. I am one.

A reptile then.... Here's a ditty for you

I have had a thought about B&W Nautilus. May be that their price is so high because they are considered more sculptures rather than loudspeaker?

It is art! One loves it or one hates it. I only once could "hear" it long ago at one of the earliest High End Munich fairs in a horrible listening environment. But even under this unworthy circumstances they were impressive.

@Achim1811
Do you remember? It was so unripe! I love them. I have only one regret. I can't afford them

For me the Nautilus made Bowers and Wilkins so unique and so well known for a broader public. Birth of a legend in a way. For most of the people outside their financial range but always good for reading about in HiFi porn magazines And it was always named technology carrier by B&W. A good portion of this DNA is in your speakers too.
And not to talk about re-sale prices.....good invest all over the years.
What me always make thinking about (and bringing in relation) the ranking of HiFi in so many people is the high number of sold Nautilus speakers. There is so much money around...
