I seem to have hit the jackpot here
OP, thanks for this. Very nice!  
Is the seated-centered solo listening to music a dated tech?
Dear Johnk, very interesing question(s). Since this early morning, I'am busy with putting my reflections into words. Here's the result🤗 BDW, I am working in a project where music is used to light up areas of catatonic people’s brains. It is a way...

@rolox +1 Many thanks to all of you contributing to the success of the initial post. I'm happy having found so many new (to me) women singers. I'll take the chance to purchase some new cd's if  available. In favour of the artists, we all should ... 
Blu Ray player versus CD/SACD player.
I’m wondering should I stick with it or start researching a CD/SACD stand-alone player for my digital discs? Should I get a unit that specializes in music playback or stick with the Oppo as “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!” Will I notice a diff...

Rant against the industry with hopes for discussion on positive change
A lot of the ,new, generation simply is not interested in (even) decent hifi gear. As an example, the sons (30 and 32) of my partner do not even look at my music room, less spending time there. Altough it would be free of charge. Maybe they will 2...
