If A.I. took the place of musicians, would you listen to it?
I'd be perfectly fine with it if I liked it. I don't care much how the sausage is made if it tastes good to me. And AI is still programs created by humans.

I use a Stein Music Perfect Interface mat on my 1200G - sounds great to me!   
New Steely Dan Aja
@jdjohn - I've seen a few YouTube videos that did that, along with some others. CISCO seems to be a very popular one, but I haven't seen a review yet that liked anything else better than the UHQR double-45...

This Year's Model is my favorite for sure. My Aim is True had great songs but having mellow Marin County band Clover play the music ruined that album for me; the live versions with the Attractions are great, though!

Certain frequencies hurt

Hearing aid question
I'm glad that Widex has improved their app. A few years ago I got a pair of Widex in-ear hearing aids for listening with headphones, and the app seemed like somebody's very first app design project in elementary school.

Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off?

Hearing aid question
My hearing loss is in the top end, too, and I've always worn custom ear molds that are not 'open ear'; there may be 'open ear' custom molds available, but I've not seen them. Domes, on the other hand, usually have openings for air and room sound t...
