Humour

Humour
Paul Klipsch and Amar Bose see each other from a across the street in heaven. Paul with hands on each side of his mouth yells, "How you doing Amar?"   Amar with his hand 2" in front of his mouth responds, "Pretty good Paul".  
A nightmare regarding streaming?
That’s disturbing. I have spent hours putting together playlists for the winery I work with, several lists 10 hours long so the staff doesn’t get tired of the same songs. We use Tidal /Mac Mini and Meyer Sound. I can’t imagine coming home had fin... 
4Point9 vs. OL Conqueror vs. Vertere Super Groove HB
@rsf507  It is currently my top choice too. I wish I could have afforded it before the price crept up. I just recently began looking at the Vertere, so it also has appeal. Thank you for your insight.

Am I right for this forum?
I too miss @millercarbon. And agree with @snilf that he was what I call a character. A great balance of bluster, knowledge and even humility when it came to admitting that he only knew what he liked. He also helped me in my audio journey.   I will... 
Turntable advice
Or Dr Feickert Volare. Love mine!  
Turntable Isolation
Townshend Isolation platform. You will not find anything better.     
Improving a stone rack
Townshend can fix it for you. Whether it’s pods or platforms it’s one and done. Most recommend isolating each component which is expensive. Maybe start with a source and see if you get good results and continue if it works for you. Townsends isola... 
Where to go next with the turntable
