Critical listening and altered states
It's interesting how different people take the question in opposite directions. It's an interesting question, not because it questions the use of mind altering substances, but because it opens the door to questioning the mind itself. What's the di... 
Critical listening and altered states
Isn't reality for people who can't face drugs?I find THC to give a hyper sharp focus. It can also turn on the the illuminated, 3 dimensional inner landscape of visuals, sound, emotions and an ineffable blend of them all, that I would bet many a pe... 
Build a wooden crate or use a cardboard box for Amplifier.
You need to consider how you expect the carrier to handle it. I recently shipped an amp, but it was only 28 lb. I built a crate and used a single metal gate handle for it to be carried suitcase style. After going from AZ to MI and back, I was amaz... 
Speaker repair...is it easy?

User Error Disaster
It’s a personal choice. I have a Carver M1.0 out for an overhaul & upgrade. FedEx lost track of it for a week and tried to bill me $90 two weeks after I calculated and paid $75... "Special handling charge, whatever that is.) Not paying this BS...

The only observation I would make would be to note that some obviously don't have any clue how short a lifetime really is. Bless his heart though. 
Second opinions — how have others (including non-audiophiles) helped you?
"You were right i react too swiftly sometimes" As do I. "It routinely produces drug-like levels of endorphins and occasionally tears of joy." Can't say I routinely find this, but I do know it's exactly what I am seeking. After all, who doesn't wan... 
Second opinions — how have others (including non-audiophiles) helped you?
"I apologize if my opinion has hurt your faith...."No harm done. I don't believe I have much faith to be hurt. As indicated above, I agree with your point that the development and refinement of our language expands our conceptual realm. But, langu...
