The Boss is the Bo$$
@tgilb - Are you saying one shouldn't criticize anything that one cannot do better? That otherwise we should not have an opinion on it?  I wish I could post photos from my computer files; I'd put one up that I took of Bruce and Clarence at a show... 
Harbeth again…or other speakers for acoustic music?
@twoleftears - I've got both Harbeth Super HL-5's AND Fritz Carrerra BE! I had the Harbeths for years and was perfectly happy with them but wanted to hear what some other sounds would be like. I replaced the Harbeths in my system with the Fritz's,... 
Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption
@femoore12 - I for one am very happy that science and technology have replaced 'mysticism', and I don't need anybody to tell me what I need or don't need in my life. It would be a boring world if we were all the same!  What works for one does not ... 
Why Are People So Concerned About How Others Spend Their Money?
@kahlenz I agree with your first paragraph, but I can't imagine anybody who wants to hear or feel bass in their sound being satisfied for life (or even minutes) with a pair of Kef LS50's. Fine speakers, but not designed for bass - but if you want ... 
Like Pronouns do we have to many music genres?
I've always thought a lot of genre-classifying is silly.  I like what Phil Lesh said - "The Grateful Dead is its own genre".... But I'm mostly a post-punk guy...  And I do not agree about there being 'too many pronouns'.   
New high end from Serbia? Auris audio
I've got an Auris Nirvana tube headphone amp and it's great - beautiful looking thing, and puts out a lot of power, enough to drive Susvara headphones with volume and muscle. Terrific sound.   
What Recordings Of Yours Did Not Age Well?
Crosby, Stills, and Nash (and sometimes Young).... Still like some of the Crosby ones, but those Graham Nash songs are about the lamest, wimpiest things I could possibly imagine, for my own tastes. I got rid of those albums a long time ago, though.  
Zavfino
@thyname - Heard back from Ray with the diagram; he says that eventually the cable will perform equally well in either direction....   
Insightful article by Roger Skoff "Paying For Nothing"
@nonoise + 1 🤣 "We don't need no education...."  
Art for your music room
Thanks, folks!! I gotta say that I’m disappointed in what I have for JG and the GD on the basis of how many shows I went to, and the fact that they didn’t care if you brought cameras into shows. I got some gooders, glad you like ’em. The one with ... 
Art for your music room
Hi @jerryg123 ! Thanks for asking! I actually have a website of my stuff called www.mypixrock.com - I took these in the San Francisco Bay Area, where I live, and I've got photos 'from Jerry to Jello!'. The website needs a little work so it can som... 
How do you get Happy as an Audiophile?
How does it make me happy? I do up some cannabis, put on some tunes, sit back, and..... happy!!!! 😁 Also like @jerryg123 's answer!!! 🤣  
Art for your music room
I was a concert photographer during the 70's, so I just put up a bunch of my pictures!   
Have you ever been turned off by an Arrogant Dealer? Thoughts
I do not like dealers who won't even greet you with a smile and a 'Hi, how are you doing, can I help you with anything?', even if they're not at all busy. I've worked in retail, and I know it's not all that difficult to do that. Like they're doing... 
Zavfino
@thyname @lak - thanks for your suggestions. I did buy mine through Zavfino USA - no pictures, just a couple of cards, one of which shows features of the cables (as does the sticker on the case) but none of which say anything about them being dire...
