The Horror
@audiodidact  Who's that on the cover of Time magazine? Anyway, I think many of us have felt what you're feeling. I do think you're being too hard on yourself. You chose what you chose because it sounded good to you at the time, and it was withi... 
Dirty little secret of Pedigreed, decades old Speaker line - no one will address
@john1  " Zero high end manufacturers (other then YG) over countless decades, using aluminum cone mr drivers amounting to nothing, rather then some kind of something, goes considerably beyond being unlikely as to being insignificant." That sente... 
Would you move to a bigger house if you could just to have a better listening room ?
@yoyoyaya  That's good perspective. I think that many Americans like me don't realize that most Europeans have smaller homes. I do know that, and I feel fortunate to have a 13 x 11x 9 dedicated room, knowing that that is the size of living rooms ... 
Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed?
@hilde45  It really depends on your priorities. If dynamics are high on your list, you’ll learn to live with the imperfections. I did when I had them years ago, and that was much older ones, and my supporting gear wasn’t as good. I’d suggest try...

@john1  Your last sentence made no sense.  Beyond that, what is your stake in all of this? Why do you care? If they are outdated as you say, the market will decide, and YG will suffer the consequences.   
Solid Tech Radius Solo 3 Audio Stand
Sounds like a deal.  
Solid Tech Radius Solo 3 Audio Stand
It looks like a nice rack, but what is the discounted price? If it's too much I would go with Adona.

@rvpiano  I say pass on the Pass.

Nope.  
Sometimes you just get lucky
@elliottbnewcombjr  I didn't have any bad intent in what I said, and I understand that you were using it in the secular, pop culture sort of way, the same way that Zen is misused. I guess I just get frustrated sometimes because I see its meaning ...

@noromance  Thanks for the clarification. I didn't expect him to respond.   
Sometimes you just get lucky
@elliottbnewcombjr  That's a wonderful story. We all have amazing incidents like that sometime in our lives. Thanks for sharing! "Bingo, fixed. Is that the definition of Karma?" Actually, no. Look it up. I think the meaning of karma is widely m...

@czarivey  Could you please restate what you just said so that I can possibly understand it?
