| BS meter is pegged! OP: I think you’re on to something. This marketing BS. The laundry soap manufacturers on daytime TV promote new & improved detergents every six months. My clothes will feel softer and smell fresher - better than ever - if only I would buy the ... | |
| Billie MK3 Pre order and Price!! Hmmm. I wonder if the cost of his parts went up. Maybe the machining for the new casework is higher. Perhaps, a different design and production run of modular circuit boards. He doesn’t have the same purchasing power for volume discounts as his bi... | |

| Can we make major musical discoveries at age 50, 65, or 80? My new discoveries are from the past. Jazz and Classical. For some reason, the 4 inch speakers in my Pontiac Tempest convertible didn’t do them justice. 🤔 If I had a time machine, I’d be visiting the recording of ’The Great Summit’ with Louis Arms... | |
| Would you rent a $14,000 DAC for $75 per day? I think this idea has potential, If you’re okay with possible damage, loss and theft, start with the Tambaqui and see what happens. I'm guessing there would be more interest in auditioning speakers. But they don’t ship well. If you’re a serial en... | |
