| And a happy Festivus to all! @twoleftears And a Shakti Hallograph Soundfield Optimizer as the Festivus pole. | |
| Is Not Responding To An Offer Just Plain Rude? I understand exactly where you are coming from. Despite what some of the jaded members might say, common courtesy shouldn't be dismissed as you being too "emotionally invested". If the seller is providing "wiggle room" in either the selling price ... | |
| What made you put together your first 2nd system? You have asked what I would call a "first world question".I will have to get back to you on this one. | |

| How old are you? In 14 hours and 24 minutes my body will be 66 years old.That being said, my mind is still 28 years old. | |
| Casters on equipment rack? @tweak1 No condolences required. The condo I own is in a concrete building, has 9' ceilings and with the way it is situated I have never had any issues with my neighbours. Mind you, since I retired and downsized I have adjusted the volume a little... | |
| Casters on equipment rack? @oldhvymecGood idea. I will have to consider something like that if I decide to perhaps have casters at the back and legs at the front. Definitely more stable than casters. | |
| Casters on equipment rack? @oldhvymecI am familiar with the casters you are referring to, but as much as we audiophiles like overkill, I am still considering practicality and esthetics in this equation. The casters I have shortlisted are high quality, German-made, 2", non-m... | |
| Casters on equipment rack? That is just it. When I was much younger and had a large room with plenty of space, then the subject probably wouldn't come up. However, as an older guy with a bad back, living in a smallish condo, convenience is very attractive. | |
| How eclectic is your taste in music? @three_easy_payments Couldn't agree more. Variety is the best thing about it.Tool, LP, Ronstadt, Coltrane, Puccini. As long as it is recorded well, it's all good. | |
| Experiences Selling Stuff On Audiogon? It has been a few years since I used Audiogon to buy or sell anything, but being a budget conscience retired person, I try to avoid paying any extra fees. Nowadays I strictly use AudioMart or even Craigslist. I have never had any issues with Canuc... | |
| Audiophile demographics? @cd318I asked an innocent question and for some reason people like you want to make it into a hill you will die on. Are there more male audiophiles than female audiophiles? Yes.Do people stereotype? Yes.Next time I will try to ask a question that ... | |
| Audiophile demographics? @sokogear There was a local restaurant that served their meals in total darkness. They claimed that the lack of external sensory input actually enhanced the taste of food. While it sounds strange on the surface, is it any different than listening ... | |
| Audiophile demographics? You can blame me for asking the question again, but if the responses are any indication, the demographics haven't changed and female stereotyping is still an issue. Sad, but not surprising as the world gets more polarized every day. | |
| Audiophile demographics? @rcronk"And I am very friendly with many women. But you can watch them glaze over when you put some Captain Beefheart on the turntable."If you are playing Captain Beefheart for a woman, then I understand why you are merely "friendly". Perhaps you... |
