Cassettes still rock!
so much time to yap on, I like tape best tape being analog, any analog in my simple summation, ’get’s the overtones right’.noise, tape hiss, lp’s static between songs, .... don’t matter, when listening, tape/lp both can win. thus cassettes can sou...

for you, for a few weeks a year, think that thru.a closet with a lock, a critical piece of your good system locked in there so it cannot be used. note that it is disabled so they don't try to get it working (I would).a bluetooth speaker they can l...

Maybe being discerning isn't that good for us?
I knew women were more sensitive to high frequencies, never thought about why. Very good supposition I think. I definitely use a lower max vol when listening with Donna than myself or male friends. You would love our friend Fran, every time we had...

Vacuum tube ! And Warnings
Plus for Brent Jesse.I bought, didn't like the sound of a brand I had selected, he allowed me to burn them in, then decide, then return them, sent me my alternate choice (I know I like their sound, had some in stock), which cost less, and refunded...
