| I find myself "tuning out" anymore.....is the magic fading? Take whatever money you might have spent on a new whatever and use it to spend a month in Rome and Tuscany, or Paris, or wherever. It will change you and leave you with memories that a new amplifier just can't. | |

| Fiber is Coming to my neighborhood I've had an AT&T fiber connection for three or four years and it has been rock solid. It's sold as providing gigabit speed but I typically get download speed about half that. Of course, that's far more than is needed for audio streaming or any... | |

| Fezz vs Raven I'll echo allears4u's endorsment of Raven amps. I owned a Raven Blackhawk for several years and loved it. The personal attention from the owner, Dave Thomson, was remarkable, as well. | |

| Accessing Audiogon securely. NordVPN for me, too. A VPN is one of those things that's difficult to evaluate. You're usually not aware of whether it's worked properly or not. Still, with as much chicanery as there is online it's a reasonable step to take, especially when you... | |
