| Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much? @mahgister The youtube link featuring Geoffrey Bloom is a good example of why a little bit of knowledge is dangerous. Fractional reserve banking is a given and serves society exceptionally well, but it is not criminal. In many Western countries c... | |
| Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much? The media is perhaps responsible for this "print money" thing. It has been noted here that central banks do not actually "print" the currency you have. Each country has their own physical issuer of notes and coin. I think that it is the Treasury i... | |
| Does Anyone Buy Schiit for the Sake of Schiit? @2psyop is it not more ridiculous to overspend on something without getting the quality you paid for? Depends on what is meant by ridiculous. Some goods are purchased precisely and deliberately because they are expensive. What you actually get... | |
| Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much? controlled propaganda from different parties and players... then this Noam Chomsky once quipped that if the Nuremberg laws and regs applied.. each and every president since then, would be hung by the neck until dead, for the crimes of genoci... | |
| CD transport warmup An hour? Its either poorly designed or faulty, despite your assessing the probability of these things to be unlikely. Anything else that you mention is extraneous. | |

| Amir and Blind Testing @adambennette not much discussion here about statistics... well, it’s not an exciting subject really. Until an appreciation of stats demonstrates how often they may be used incorrectly to draw conclusions that have no basis. That’s just a gener... | |
| Does Anyone Buy Schiit for the Sake of Schiit? @audition__audio I love the way people take criticism of equipment personally. Even more humorous are those of us who lecture others regarding spending habits and posit motivations for such "foolish" expenditures. Such insecurity must be grounded... | |
| Beethoven Complete Works boxed set recommendations That’s a kinda neat idea - 80 or 123 or thereabouts CDs is a good start..
