I bought a drone. More precisely, today it was delivered, and I so want to use it!
I also ordered some Chopin records and hope to hear them soon

I'd be interested in hearing which Chopin recordings you purchased (though you should post that over in classical purchases section so that others can read it too).

Was it delivered by a drone?  :D
Spatial distortion is a serious problem deteriorating headphone listening.
Crossfeeders reduce spatial distortion and make the sound more natural
and less tiresome in headphone listening.

Quote from: Ennorat on April 03, 2023, 12:09:44 PMRecently I finished the renovation of my new apartment so I spend all the money on furniture and interior decor items now. I made some purchases at Mainstays, IKEA, Target, and Wayfair. I like the result but there are so many things to do left... I need more patience and money, lol.
Redecorating can be quite taxing.  Hope that you are enjoying the results of your labor and purchases (so far anyway).

I confess:  I gave in and purchased two brand new LPs today.  Kate Bush's "The Hounds of Love" (which I have on CD--purchased years ago) and the Eagles' "Hotel California" (which I used to own on LP years ago).  Both are the fancy 180 gram ones.  Balked at the price, but in the end decided to go for it!

Also, I purchased some used classical LPs but will list them elsewhere.

As a big fan of Kate Bush (and that album), yay! I bet the sound on that recording is fantastic.

20 years ago I discovered New Age music. Recently I have revisited my small New Age collection and I feel I need this kind of music in my life. Such a great antidote for all the crap in the World. New Age is the king of background music.

Today was a very warm* day in Helsinki. I went to a record store selling new and used vinyl/CDs. I bought two used CDs of New Age music on Narada label:

Narada Sampler #1: Michael Jones, Gabriel Lee and David Lanz
Michael Jones: Pianoscapes

Both were 5 euros. I think I will be collecting this kind of music for now.
