@yuviarora There are five times more vaccinated people than unvaccinated - 85% of Canadians are vaccinated. All other things being equal (they aren’t), were vaccinations of no effect at all, the expected number of cases who have been vaccinated w... 
Avoiding Scammers - Both As Buyer & Seller
@sbayne  if the item is "expensive" to you then get their telephone number and give them a call. You can learn a lot in a 5 minute phone call about someone. Treat it as any business transaction.  Yes indeed!!  I provide my personal details to a...

@pesky_wabbit Will it ever be possible to have a rational Neil Young music thread on Gon ever again? Is that a play on words?

@oldhvymec Now you know WHY it was a penal colony. Still is as far as I’m concerned! I just stumbled over a pic of the amp guts made by a dude near Perth, Western Australia. There are only a few people who build valve (toobe) amps in Australia,...

Should anyone be seeking a recently released DAC that has MQA deleted from its brain, the SMSL SU-9n is one to consider. Its the only recent Sigma Delta DAC that I'm aware of that doesn't feature this insidious technology.

@yuviarora Let’s do the math...Omicron is 91% less deadly (so about half the deaths/infection).....The American public can't do simple math. Your IQ is, say, 100. My IQ is 91% less than yours. Is my IQ half of yours?  Or more than yours?  Ca...

@ted_denney It’s a good thing I took screenshots. Lots of screenshots. Taking screen shots may be sufficient, but a method I find useful recently with threads becoming even more ephemeral than the 24 hour news cycle is (on a computer) to right ...

@ted_denney While users posting with hidden agendas are clear to see, they’re the ones posting behind assumed names attacking any post, topic, or comment making a subjective observation absent measurements. As one who has respect for science an... 
Buyer Dispute
@builder3 This isn’t a PayPal issue at this point. Hire an attorney, he’ll send an official letter. Disputes may be opened with Paypal within 180 days of the payment date (August 2021). Then there is a timeline to follow. In any event (it appe...

@oldhvymec The amps were set up for American voltage and phase? Were they vintage or special in some way?  The correct amp fuse?  
Affordable vs. ultra expensive speakers - what's the difference?
50K - it looks nice, kinda sexy. 87dB @2.83V/m is low. Correct method of specifying dB. Frequency response, while specified looks good, ambiguous despite saying +/- 1dB "ïn the audible band"- the audible band could be anything between 20 and 20,...

@mapman Why should anyone assume a shill does not receive compensation? This is the only sensible assumption on any site that features a discussion about the merits or otherwise of products or services. I prefer the word presumption on a site ... 
Buyer Dispute
Advise the seller of your intention to seek legal advice. Its a small claims dispute. Consult with a lawyer after about a week (time for seller to respond). This is what they are trained to deal with - they will cut through any confusion and advi...
