Who will soon be going to a live concert?
@three_easy_payments:  I think "what death rate is acceptable to remove all the covid policies?", isn't the key question.  The question is, "what is our hospital/oxygen/ICU capacity, including the health and well-being of the doctors, nurses and s...

Audioquest Fog Lifters
I have them and they work well. One nice thing is that they are higher than some of my other cable risers, so I can use them to separate (and cross) the power and signal cables more effectively. I had deferred putting my cables up on my collection... 
Schiit CD Transport on the way soon.
@kacomess prego @georgehifi  I think it was the USB.  BTW, it is going to have USB-C out connector for USB. 
Schiit CD Transport on the way soon.
