Two questions to make you mad.
Question one: 🍎 and  🚗.  Not even close. Question two: 🍎 and 🍅. Do you want your rig to sound like you are sitting outside the venue?  
What’s the most underrated used Audio Research gear?
Still have a SP9 mkll, but wish I’d kept the SP3a.  
What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
Varis,   Varis.      Somewhere between rock and jazz. Not bad.    
Tune of the Day
Electric Light Orchestra,   Tightrope.     
Magnepans and dogs

Redundant Internet
My wife has  a hotspot from T Mobile and we’ve used it more than a few times for home internet, plus, both of our cellphones have hot spot as well.  Neither are the fastest, but they get the job done in a pinch.

CD/ SACD advice needed
I ripped the dozen or so SACD’s I have. I’m glad I have so few. At 1.2-1.4tb a disk, they eat up a lot of HD space!  I wish I’d known about the d.bob, I probably would’ve bought more SACD’s and not ripped them.  
Whats playing on your system today?
@designsfx  Lovein’ it! Now Playing: La Theorie Des Cordes: 4U-9525 (New Experimental Jazz/Rock- Nice!)  
Pink Floyd Aficionados
You all do yourselves a favor and Don’t get the Dark Side Of The Moon Redux!  It’s beyond bad! I read a review calling it Blasphemy to the original DSOTM and I have to agree.   I wish someone would have warned me. Â
