| Proof of improvements in audio system sound quality.... Did no one watch the Mr. Ed episode titled, HiFi Horse? (S5, E1). It’s hilarious- and yet so true. Wilbur buys a hifi system on a 36 month payment plan. He tries to dazzle his wife with the terrific sound. His wife becomes so upset over it she ... | |
| Proof of improvements in audio system sound quality.... My wife visited stereo shops with my me during our first year of marriage. That was in 1980. She has not visited a stereo store with me since. 1) Always keep your spouse involved in the buying decision process even if it comes down to, “If I buy ... | |
| What I wish I knew before starting my audiophile journey From the time I bought my first receiver in 1977 until now I have been driven to improve upon my stereo sound system but it wasn't a constant or consistent endeavor. I might go a few years between upgrades because I was either satisfied with the ... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers I have the same experience as christianb5s4 with my new LHY SW-8 network switch. Additionally, I spent about 6 hours yesterday running a Cat 7 ethernet cable across the house from the SW-8 to my Apple TV box. It was a small upgrade to the tv pic... | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... Today I ran a 100’ Cat 7 ethernet cable from my new LHY SW-8 Network Switch to my Apple TV box on the other side of the house. The Apple TV box was using Wi-Fi. With the wired connection the TV picture improved. I don’t hear a difference in the... | |
| Made in USA Around 1999 I was working at a plant in a former communist country. One of the associates was talking to me and commented that he missed communism. He preferred communism over capitalism. I was surprised by that and asked him why. I know mater... | |
| Made in USA I know the difference. I lived in Germany. I saw the poverty and beggars there. I saw how the government, unless you belong to a wealthy and powerful family chooses the education and career for your child. They wanted to direct where my own ch... | |
| Made in USA I’ve been to socialist countries. No thanks. | |
| Made in USA I have never seen riots or protests over lack of food in the USA in my lifetime. I lived and worked in Europe for a few years and saw poverty and begging- especially the disabled there. Society’s first priority is to care for the children and th... | |

| Really expensive systems that sounded great? I have a stash. | |
| Really expensive systems that sounded great? When I was a kid, I remember my Grandfather buying a new Lincoln Town Car around 1970 or so. “It practically drives itself,” he bragged. Nowadays they actually do drive themselves. Good thing too with all the buttons and screen menus I must rol... | |
| Really expensive systems that sounded great? How's that? | |
| Really expensive systems that sounded great? It’s the base system Burmeister, not the high end googolplex speaker system with moonrock impregnated drivers. The real entertainment is the twin turbo V-8 and active comfort seats. Oh, brakes work good too. | |
| Really expensive systems that sounded great? I have an S-Class. The sound system is great. I play it at a very low volume. It doesn’t hold a candle to my home stereo. |
