Baja is a fierce and hostile place

Life can be particularly tough for a house cat. I was pleased to see that the intense invironment had forced evolution and hastened natural selection to make life easier for the cats.

Dog eat Dog

vgabndo, That cat's in bad company. Thanks for the photo.

Struck his funnybone.

A puppy's life in Baja is TENUOUS as best.

Here boy!...Woof, woof...closer, closer...cm'er boy...

closer, closer...cm'er boy
(Hey..is this rain?)

AND WITH ONE MIGHTY STOMP....PUPPY FRISBEE.

My cat loves to sing along with the music in my office...

Come by my house and I will give you a tour. I have a lot of 70's audio gear around the house. The old analog stuff sounds a lot better than any of the newer gear out today. My speakers are all from the 70's and would break your foot if I dropped one on you.

Adios, Pedro!

For any Nomads who grew up with livestock, this may bring back some vivid memories.

right on Gringo! analog rules!

people visiting here at the presidential double wide want to know what's with all the tube gear? and a turntable?! what is that for? hahaha! then i play some squawk and their jaws drop!
the reason most tinears think CDs, and MP3s and other digital media sounds great is they're listening to it on crummy mass produced MID-FI equipment. They think records are "old" and therefore sound inferior because they have never heard good analog played through a quality front end. Done right it is pure magic. Music, hell all sound is waves, the bendings in frequency and amplitude of which occur logrithmically in amplitude and endlessly curvilinear in frequency change ....not as stair stepped truncated sine "waves" built through an assembledge of ones and zeros.

and finally there is a resurgence in interest in all things analog. everything old is new again. try buying vintage gear on ebay these days........its going through the roof!

Capt. Mike, you understand me and thank God my wife puts up with me and my audio obsession. However I am slowly building a digital lossless audio collection of music as I realize that vinyl will not last forever. The funny thing is how my youngest cat loves my gear. She is always on top of an amp, receiver or speaker when music is playing...

Pompano, That picture reminds of a job I once had working in a stockyard. Some of those critters didn't like being loaded in double-decker cattle trailers.

HERE IS A BULL CURRENTLY ON THE LOOSE IN BAJA!

yeah me too, do about 1-2 ALBUMS a day and i have a lot to go thru........
but it is worth it.
what software are you using? i am doing it with MAGIX AudioCleaning Lab. it does wonders on the stuff i get at garage sales.

are you keeping them in .wav files? i am doing .wav and MP3 depending on the music and source. my chain:

ortofon MC30 lo-output moving coil cartridge
SOTA Jewel TT, Sumiko FT-3 arm
Conrad Johnson HV-1a step up transformer
CJ PV-5 phono preamp
all feeding a Creative EXTIGY external sound card to my HP Pavillion laptop.

auditory heaven.....
