A second TMR? @theo Don’t get me wrong -- I love TMR and will continue, happily, to do business with them.I’m just thinking about this because we have a country with 330 million people and brick and mortar stores in audio are continuing to go under. There are o... | |

| Who is ditching their shiny disc spinners? @edcyn +1The physical media is nice, often, in settling me into a continual experience. It helps one "commit" more often to an extended listen with an album or artist.The streaming is a discovery tool like no other; a cornucopia of newness. I opt ... | |
