| Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say? Say nothing. This is not a contest akin to “my bike is better than your bike.” We’re grown ups now. Be happy with your bike. That’s all that matters. | |
| Open baffle speakers ^ Can’t wait to see these OB’s. People who are against OB’s haven’t heard all OB’s. Their designs are endless. | |

| Jazz for aficionados Give me some old school jazz from the 50’s and 60’s. Although I definitely dig some Roy Hargrove! https://youtu.be/1w3FVfkBVTE?si=kJkcMsnqAq9g21xz | |
| Looking for more advice on purchasing a new turntable. +1 for that VPI HRX listed for sale on AG. I’m guessing it could be purchased for $5k or less! | |
| Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital Jazz doesn’t, and shouldn’t appeal to everyone. It’s like a very rare and fine wine, which only a few appreciate.
