Shipping. Hard Lesson.
I appreciate the sympathies. As mentioned, I have no financial stake in this exchange but it just kills me to think of such a nice piece of equipment ruined like that. Especially since it did not appear that is was just simply dropped. That kind o... 
Shipping. Hard Lesson.
@millercarbon, you never miss an opportunity to insult someone do you? Sometimes I feel bad for you.I've never done this before. I have never ordered or received hi-fi stereo gear. Zero experience here. (And hi-fi is not my life's calling either).... 
How do you all manage mild hearing loss?
It is not sarcasm. 
CD Cataloging Problem
Space is not an issue at this point but I'm not opposed to trying those. How do you browse though?In the end I might just have to keep them in the big binders he has them in. They are nicely made and well designed but they are large and bulky and ...

Are the loudness wars fake so record companies can destroy the music?

What are you streaming tonight?
Graceland - Paul Simon Amazon HD. For the most part I have not been able to tell a great deal of difference between HD and standard def Amazon Music. Probably a limitation of my gear but for whatever reason on this album it actually makes a notice... 
Same watts at 8 and 4 ohms?
Thanks and happy birthday. So far these speakers have sounded wonderful with several less than ideal component combinations and with my far-from-golden ears I think the Sonos will be fine. I'll be 57. My mom says I've always been an old man.

What are you streaming tonight?
