Just read my good friend Barry/Blue58 on the SGM server thread, and he's getting all his upgrades now done online via Ed at SGM Central
First, these server-owning guys don't even bother to leave the house to buy any music
Ok, I get that, streaming is here to stay
But I mourn the loss of all kinds of shops, record stores (and bookshops) esp
But to add insult to injury, he doesn't even have to lift himself off his seat to go out and buy an audio upgrade, Ed will just remotely upgrade his server for him via HQP programming, and voila, he has the digital equivalent of a new cart or phono, redialled in tt rig, no sweat at all
As me and my tt installer toiled away for 2 hrs resetting my analog a couple of months back, this is quite a concept
So, just where is the fun in new music, and new optimisation, with no effort at all from us?
Surely as James T Kirk used to comment on every time he materialised on a planet of uber happy, under occupied occupants, we're meant to struggle, not have everything put on a plate for us
Don't see Barry complaining LOL, he leaves that to grumpy old me!
