| Can the need for novelty and change be mitigated by rotation? Anybody who believes they have purchased the optimal combination of components for their budget, is kidding themselves. There is no such thing as an optimal system regardless of budget, and there is no system that cannot be improved upon by swappi... | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! Strange thread given so many great bands being considered the worst. Tastes differ?Somewhat off topic, there is a reason the phrase “rap is crap” exists. It should be expanded to include hip-hop | |

| Is 35’ and 50’ to long for RCA sub cables? I’ve been told to run XLR (mic) cable and then just use the two conductors instead of all three for RCA. Would that help even though my subs don’t have XLR inputs?No. You’re still putting a single ended signal down the cable. In order for common m... | |
| Cable Goop Review George is going to freak!! Show me the data.Show me the benefits and features.Prove to me this works. I’m wondering how anybody can make such a comment and still consider himself an audiophile.The proof of the pudding is in the tasting. All the data in the world means nothi... | |
| Cable Goop Review George is going to freak!! @ozzy " Looking back through my notes, I first started applying it on 6-6-21. The last application was on 7-16-21 on the yellow QSA fuse."Have you ever tried it on regular "radio shack" fuses or only on the good stuff? | |

| Why the cost increase? To think I just wanted to build some speakers. Even the speakers went up, I knew a lady who worked for the Rhodesian (now Zimbabwean) government, retired in 1980 and then moved to Ontario. She was getting a pension which was enough for a car p... | |

| Why the cost increase? There is about one third of one ounce of gold above ground for every man, woman and child on earth. The gold standard only works in a closed ecosystem with a limited populace. Your reasoning is incorrect. The amount of gold is irrelevant. The valu... | |
| Why the cost increase? Such a tool.Again, the childish behavior of resorting to vitriol when not being able to argue against somebody more capable.Tut tut. You need to grow up. | |
