How To Keep Cat Off Stereo Equipment?
Cat scat mats worked great for me. They come in rolls or tiles. I put them around my Maggie 1.7 speakers and put the in front of my audio cabinet so the cat couldn’t get to a spot to jump up on equipment. They worked great for a few years until ... 
Goodbye Everyone
@elliottbnewcombjr As many have expressed already... You will be missed. It's members like you who help bring a balance to Gon. It seems to be a common symptom in social media. Even in something as innocuous as NextDoor, a poster can say somethin... 
getting into streaming
@jamike The Bluesound remote can simply allow one to choose between 10 "presets" that would be set up via smartphone or computer. It would be useless for navigating through hundreds of albums and thousands of favorite tracks and exploring thousand... 
Amazon Music High Definition and Ultra High Definition Equipment Requirements
@mahler123 The Node does stream Amazon over the network. It has a limited function app built in for Amazon. If I remember correctly, you needed to use the android or ios app on a phone to create or manage lists and favorites, as the Node UI did no... 
what are your top "audio bargins" in your system history?
About 5 years ago I had a search bot app for Craigslist. I had it watching for Magnepans. After about 6 months the right deal came along... a pair of mint, SMG's with magnariser stands for $250. Although the app had done it's job, I left it to ...

Parasound Grabs a good Pair!!!
BTW, it’s Darren Myers. (Regardless of where you grab him)  
Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older?
Speak for yourself!  I'm close to 70 and though I love my favorites from over the years, exploring new musical frontiers is one of the best things about being happy with one's system and using a streamer.  
Looking for advise with selecting next integrated amp
Looked for dirt on McIntosh for a few moments, but nothing jumped out at me. However, I now know that McIntosh is now a distributor for Rotel. McIntosh picks up Rotel  
Ray Charles - "Rap is not music"
Tired post that has been done several times over. If you want to whine about a genre, you could have added your words to an existing post. No need to start yet another. I have broad, eclectic tastes in music. Rap is not a big favorite, but the m... 
Never heard an amp do this before, ideas?
"I tested two primaluna amplifiers, both did it. I also tried a cheater plug." This tells me not to waste time on the tubes or components in your amp, unless it does the same thing in a totally different environment. Heck, take it to work and try... 
Never heard an amp do this before, ideas?
When you say "apartment", it makes me think of multiple households and things that are beyond your control in those dwellings. Though you probably have separate meters, some god-awful faulty appliance or wiring flaw could be generating interferenc... 
50 years of Hip Hop- How Come?
@hilde45 , well put. This thread is a repeat of several before. I'm 67, I am drawn to rock, grunge, blues, jazz and classical mostly, along with other genres. At 67, I'm not a big fan of rap and hip hop, but I don't discount the musicians' tale...

New Pink Floyd release
@amitynick Not only can you not read or comprehend, but you even think you can call people "tards" to insult them. Here is your post in all it's glory. "I swear these woke-tards wake up each morning LOOKING for something to be offended by." @au_...
