| Chair I got my mother one of those, she made it until age 101. Like anything else, they come in sizes. Once she agreed to let me buy her one, Lazyboy in Maine sold my mother a chair they had in stock, it was made for tall men, she was a small woman. I ... | |
| Chair If it fits your body, and doesn't give you pain, if you know it is good quality and gives you comfort, think of it as well worth the price, the most important piece of gear you own! Keep cost low: Bed Bath and Beyond is now online only via Overst... | |
| Adding an extra 1ft to premium speaker cables the cables can be expensive, there's no charge for the expectation bias. | |
| A new way of adjusting anti skate! Any deviance from straight is ’oppositely’ reflected in a mirror, this makes it very easy to see and get azimuth straight I use a 4" x 6" x 3mm mirror, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T31MRZ9?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2&th=1 ... | |

| Adding an extra 1ft to premium speaker cables dekay, exactly, who says they are great based on cost, or ideas, gotta hear them, AND you need someone to help you blindly compare them so you don’t have expectation bias of the nth degree.

| So, “Audio Science Review” really doesn’t like this video my electrovoice crossovers, made in 1958, are in the photo above, x336, a metal can painted grey, filled with tar. I thought, age, make some new ones. Custom builders advised me they last forever, as do the drivers of the horns (impregnated linen)... | |
| So, “Audio Science Review” really doesn’t like this video I would rather he tested floor standing speakers, but his conclusion (favoring absorbing isolation, not hard transfer spikes) matches my own conclusion after many years. Years ago, I thought I was so smart when I removed the wheels of my JSE Mode... | |

| Ice fans for listening during warm/hot days IF you can successfully run a de-humidifier in the space prior to listening, that can get the space more comfortable, the opposite of blowing over ice. | |
| which turntable or how to convert to balanced phono setup? Unless a problem exists, I would not needlessly complicate a home audio system with xlr. We run out of things to ’improve’ don’t we.
