| Should my next purchase be from a brick and mortar? Your question prompts a few from me: What is it about B&M stores that seems valuable to you? Do you want to support local businesses and the people who are nearby? Do you value the idea of such stores being available to customers in the future... | |
| Check in: How quickly are streamers and servers evolving? Brains get calcified and what's actually paranoia or OCD is passed off as "loyalty" or "objective truth." There are a bunch of news organizations who base their whole strategy off this truth, but alas, their demographic is dying off by the day. | |
| members and their systems I learn the most about audio from posts where people are figuring out how to get good sound on a budget. They are ingenious and thrifty and find ways to make things. Necessity is the mother of invention, and good sound can be had with a little swe... | |

| Taking time (and time outs) to enjoy the ride... One of the positive things about a hobby is that it asks for us to do things, to interact with things, problem solving and experimenting. That is not "nervosa" but engagement. The aspiration to lay back and just listen is a good one but humans are... | |
| Between a Node 2i and DAC: Does Coax cable quality really matter? Changing to a good coax made a big difference for me. Using AP Crystal digital solo. More clarity, better bass. | |
| The Wilt Chamberlain of Audio Gear Here's a kind of side question to the OP's: How many here were swapping gear in and out and realized they needed to work on their room? If that was you, and you sorted out your room's acoustics, did you go back to swapping gear? Did that then, aga... | |
