| anyone else getting phishing popups ? You just missed my last post, but I am on a Macbook running Monteray 12.6.9. Here is a dropbox image of what it looked like when AVG caught the malicious redirect: AVG called it "URL: scam" you can see the Audiogon background as AVG didnt allow th... | |
| anyone else getting phishing popups ? Thanks for the responses. Just to clarify it is not just a popup, or any legitimate advertising, but an actual overtaking of the entire webpage and a redirect to a different one. The Audiogon tab gets removed on my Macbook, and a different one app... | |

| Power Cables on Subwoofers do Matter Congratulations @ciprian on jumping over that hurdle. For many this is a huge leap. Like me you now must be enjoying more realism in your music, and unfortunately less money in the bank account. This awesome thread deserves a bump :) | |
| Will increasing speaker cable AWG make a difference in sound quality? @danager Dude, that information is 43 years old. The US didn’t ban new asbestos building products for another 9 years after that article was written. We have learned much since then. | |
