Has anyone tried Napster?
Pure. evil. The company that started the ripoff of musicians.

skyscraper 564 posts 12-10-2021 8:44pm A number of you have mentioned your suffering with tinnitus. There is a currently a clinical study going on of a drug to treat tinnitus: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04829214 Thanks for posti... 
How much gear do you own?
Too damn much.  
Dang it, I'm Deaf....
I've dealt with tinnitus and SHL in one ear. Fortunately steroids resolved that issue. I'm a professional musician so I've head to make adjustments working as well. Hope you get some improvement.  
speaker choice for new 20x30 audio room
Maggie 3.anything.  
Tube Amps, Magnapans and Impedance
Frogman knows of what he speaks. The Maggie's need for ridiculous power is a way overblown item that keeps being repeated. The high end dealer here demos 3.7s with a Rogue Cronus Magnum. I run 1.6s with the same amp. Even after having used an amp ... 
Selling off Tubes for Solid State, A Cooler Love Story?
Same situation here (different budget though). I decided to try a tube integrated and it sounds fine, but the heat is a killer. More heat is not needed in New Orleans.

What's the most overrated or overpriced piece of equipment you own, have owned or come by?
Ooops...I forgot about this. When I was very young (and poor and not very smart) I bought my first "good" turntable. A Garrard Zero 100. I think I was trying to be different from my friends who had Dual 1229s. What a total piece of trash. The moto...

I went against my instincts once and bought "audiophile" speaker cables. Complete waste of money. I preach that any chance I get.  
Bully pulpits
It's pathetic that the mods here don't recognize a JOKE, no matter HOW obvious it is.  
Dolby Atmos - is it for Audiophiles?
