Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
A sudden tree or standing stone
New verse:
|
Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by! |
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well! |
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed! |

I dunno about MP3's...I've never checked to see if it does those...the sound quality is just spectacular, unbelievable to those of us who grew up in the 60's and 70's and had walls full of equipment to try and produce this kind of sound.
To: Ramius
Glad you found a precious before you left!
Night. (((Ramius)))

Carousel of five. Cool thing is you can put in all kinds at once -- DVD, SACD and regular CD -- it just switches between them seamlessly. And it boosts the sound quality of regular CD's (because it's sampling rate is so high. The wiring makes your regular CD's sound a lot better. But after hearing a SACD or DVD on them, you won't want to listen to anything else.

And... we are gonna get treated to listening to this in 3 weeks - right? :-)

I do still have my DVD player, and it's a Sony but not that model. It plays CD's and MP3's and stuff, but I'm looking to have a changer again. My changer was a Yamaha... which really was nice while it lasted, except for the part about now not really working at all.
I dig Yamaha gear too. My home theatre gear is Yamaha, with about a 500 watt amp and 5.1 speakers.
For the weddingmoot, though... I'm pulling my old Speakerlabs outta storage. Arrrrggghhh.... Speakerlab. When REALLY LOUD IS JUST NOT ENOUGH... GET SPEAKERLAB.
I've done structural damage to dorm rooms with those bad boys. :-)

My old CD player is... Tango Uniform. <laughing!> I could say something really, really naughty. See how restrained I am, that I'm not saying it?

You'll have to. Too many years riding with straight pipes has *affected* me.

Of course, the speakers (Bose Jewel Cubes) are only about 10 feet from where 2J is sleeping and 20 feet for OT. Ah, well, we'll deal with one issue at a time.
To: Scott from the Left Coast
Shweeet... thanks for the tip.
Time to go... shopping...

2J has hearing issues too. She prolly needs the added volume also. :-)

This model is specifically for SACD, but plays DVD and regular CD as well. Remember the old Advent Bookshelfs! It took a helluva lot to blow 'em, but we worked hard at it! Yamaha has great amps and preamps. I tell ya -- get this SONY SACD/DVD and hook it up to that Yamaha power and get some haul-ass speakers and you can take over the South Sound.

Roger that... I'm hoping for noise complaints from Evergreen State College. Only about forty miles away as the vulture flies.

<bemused> You have no idea of the comebacks running through my mind at this moment. The combination of Tango Uniform and FUBAR ... the minds just
reels!
You're inspiring me ...
