Why do I have to prove I am a human, every time I refresh a page on this site ?
"....and just What makes you think I'm not human anyway?" *Shifting position on the chair....tail getting kinked....* The one minute power failure over the entire planet was finally ascribed to a surprise surge of sunspots on the opposite face of... 
What would you save in a fire?
...and when the fires finally get snuffed, I don’t envy what level of blather and bs that will roil greater LA , not to mention the number looking to find shelter, some contractors to rebuild, and the materials to build with. As one who had the r... 
Would you rent a $14,000 DAC for $75 per day?
...one could always contact Lloyd's about insurance, but the service might end up costing more than the DAC in discussion.... Interest in that $ level would obviously infer you've got the means to make to make it stand and deliver, or go home.   ... 
Can we make major musical discoveries at age 50, 65, or 80?
For me, the grave reset came when I stumbled into this: Note the date on the tape....  Noise you could dance to, as opposed to an art film soundtrack...and one of the first examples of 'sample & hold'. Later, refined by  The Art of Noise....... 
Shameless Poll: Pearl vs Ohm vs Zu
Ohms.....but I'd want a pair of all of the current lines, so screwed prior to start. Either that or a 3d 5axis CNC.....also a non-starter.... "...a kite won't cut it, KLAUS!  Get the memo...?!"  
Audiohifistore.com is a SCAM
...which, when applied IRL.... makes a pause for the cause of nearly everything.... As the lovely smirking mid-Ms sez from her eye-level post reefer corner every morning pending: Once you realize nothing makes sense, it all makes sense.

If it's too good to be believed...it's not. The Isle of Mann is known for the moto race event that the normally sane lose it during the event.  This thread seems to indicate that some locals think that the madness is transferable.... ;) 😏  
Tweaking Your Speaker Placement
@tony1954 ....Granted, but some posts give rise to thoughts to the 'per se' becoming the last 'tweak' (head position) to be addressed... I begin to consider a small 'crawler-base' for floor speakers that would rotate 360, movement l/r, f/b....stro...

Trends in value of vintage / used audio equipment?
How 'bout a Mac in pink to appeal to the Barbie crowd ? Oh, Puleze......😬 I've had meters, LCD displays, all that....Mho, I like the R/T displays on my monitors.....rich beyond one's wildest deviations.... ;) ...subject was 'sposed to be 'vinta... 
Tweaking Your Speaker Placement
Where did you find a head restraint that didn't feel like a 3D clamp in 4D space? (...curious minds get more curious.....)  
Tweaking Your Speaker Placement
I'll keep digits off key for now, but playing with mm movements is a bit too too..... "...'streme..."  Mho.... ;)  
New In 2025
Once a while ago, I mentioned to the folks I was working with and for that spouse and self were going to a concert that evening..... "Oh, really...who?" Garbage.... There was a pause as that was digested.... "You're going to hear garbage....?!... 
All-in-One units for retiring audiophile & music lovers in 2025, say what?
@decooney ...*Laugh*  Nah, saw the disclaimer, blew past it....and I had a pair of 'phones on at the time... Takes 'near field' a bit too near for my thrills 'n chills, but mho and stuck to it....the MD 'end tables', not my headphones... ;)  Besid...
