What is Your Opinion of Atmos Music?
Will I have to buy a new Power Cord that will bring a greater sound stage to Immersive recordings? 🤣  
Focal Sopra No 3 vs Goldenear Triton One.R
I have owned the GE Triton Reference and thought it was an excellent speaker for the price.  I have also owned the Sopra 2 and can say it is, IMHO, way more speaker than the Triton.  It's also twice the price.  Kind of a "you get what you pay for"... 
A different kind of (inexpensive) Audio accessory.
I've always had a headlamp in my toolbox.   Surprised at the many uses.  My favourite was illuminating the roadway on the pre dawn walking of the Spanish Camino.  Hope to walk it again in 2023.              
Used gear prices and the state of the hobby.
@cleeds No warranty?  That would not be the case in something less than a year old?  In 40 years of buying new equipment,  I have never filed a warranty claim.  I get your point but would say warranty is way over rated.     
Used gear prices and the state of the hobby.
On the flip side, it drives me crazy when I'm selling something that is high quality, less than a year old, like new condition and buyers think 50% is a fair offer because it's "used".  😒  
Most underrated female recording artists..
Spin a copy of "Love's been Hard On Me" by Etta James.  Her voice only improved with age.    
HOW TO CHOOSE A SPEAKER CABLE?
@akg_ca Then how do you explain the great sound I get from my Fidelium ribbon cables from Silversmith? Also, and I’m far from an expert in electronics, but my understanding is that an electrical charge/signal, travel on the outside of a wire, not...

If you have the time, this is an interesting article to read.  Lots of good information and different views on what makes a good cable. https://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/viewpoint/0714/oxygen_free_copper_wire_hype.htm    
Roger Waters Live Last Night in Glendale,AZ
@noromance  We are entitled to our own opinions.  And that's what make this a wonderful forum.  As for Roger's upbringing, I don't see that it gives him any special insights.  Lot's of kids grow up without a father around.   
What do you do when you inherit some gear that you don’t want.
List everything on Audiomart.  Shipping to be negociated with buyer.  Use a known shipper and make sure everything is insured.  DON'T accept pament by PayPal.  Too many scammers out there.  Insist on payment in your hand prior to goods being shipp... 
Besides the Audiolab 6000CDT,
I've owned the 6000CDT.  Fantastic unit for the price.  Not sure I would spend a lot of time trying to find better in that price range.  I'm sure there are other opinions as everyone loves whatever it is they own.   
Roger Waters Live Last Night in Glendale,AZ
Went to see Roger in Edmonton a couple weeks back.  Bad sound and terrible stage layout for everyone that didn't pay $300+ for line-of-sight seats.  As for all his political B.S., it's getting really tiresome.  If Roger wants me to take his views ... 
What’s Voodoo power cords signature sounding?
Just listened to the 12 cables playing through a couple songs.  Neither I nor my wife could hear when a cable change had been made.  With eys closed you would not be able to say if there was only 1 cable being played or any other number of cables....

@jasonbourne52 I’m in your camp here, but like they say, you’re never a prophet in your home town.
