| The extinction of human interaction takes yet another step forward... @soix Excuse me for perhaps being 90% negative with that comment, but it was more for effect that a literal statement. My meaning was more that when something is lost, whether it is something trivial like cursive writing or something seriou... | |
| The extinction of human interaction takes yet another step forward... @millercarbon "Ahh yes, the old we are still running around in bear skins living in caves story. Just exactly how far gone do you have to be to believe this while using your keyboard to put this on the internet?" My apologies I didn't think... | |
| Speaker Recommendation up to 70k "I have purchased SOTA swiss front end which I can't disclose" Congratulations. That is the silliest statement I have ever read on this site. | |
| The extinction of human interaction takes yet another step forward... I know what you mean and although I don't want to be 100% negative, when was the last time anything in this world changed for the better?

The bullied exact revenge on the world by bullying others. A truly sad stat... | |
| Is bass the most important frequency band? @dabel I now have 5 subwoofers in my space. Four for the swarm (distributed bass array) and one for the HT. This sounds counterintuitive, but the results speak for themselves. The swarm is controlled with an inexpensive MiniDsp 2x4, which sets ... | |
| Is bass the most important frequency band? I would agree 100% with the @mkgus. Until I resolved the bass I was never satisfied and suffered greatly from listening fatigue. The addition of a distributed bass array was life changing. Bass is now "real". It's not bloated or uneven and i... | |
| Poor Customer Service As a retired salesman, I cannot overstate the benefits of providing exemplary service to your customers. Good service with help your business grow, while poor service will slowly erode consumer confidence and eventually result in a loss of market ... | |
| If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear "All that glitters is not gold" No, the glittery stuff are diamonds. Gold is the shiny yellow stuff. | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope Guakus = Mortimer Snerd Any guesses as to the identity of Edgar Bergen. | |

| What is wrong with my system? There is a simple solution. Just wait until you are in your late 60's and you won't be able to hear anything above 12khz anyway. Problem solved. |
