| 50 ways to leave your lover "Back in the day" everybody I knew could bang out the complete Ina Gadda De Vida drum solo from memory on ANY object with some percussive attributes: trunk lid, table top and, yes, coolers. I’m not a very good event organizer, but I fantasize abo... | |
| Is it important to long demo or own HIGH END gear to have a fair accurate view about it? Being dealers didn't make us smarter. We just had a bigger toy box to play in.

But, there’... | |

| Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums? My wife and I have made a drinking game out of watching Hallmark movies. There are key elements and phrases we've memorized that are pretty predictable (and, consistent) and when they happen -- Cheers!! Yeah, I know, but it beats watching the ... | |
| Help for a Lo-Fi guy @maico172 "Yamaha separates (M85 amp,C80 pre amp)" Give yourself a little more credit. These are definitely NOT Lo-Fi pieces. | |
| Happy Holidays and Your Favorite Tips? Communicate with someone smarter than you every day. Look forward to being proven wrong. It means you learned something that day. In my case, this usually happens before breakfast. | |
| Another fuse tweak Photos? | |
| Tweak Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps. "Looking for my lost shaker of salt" ranks among my Top 10 of deeply moving literary moments involving a reference to sodium chloride. Rest in piece, Mr. Buffet. | |
| Tweak Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps. As with many suggested audio tweaks, this one needs to be taken with a grain of salt. | |
| Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums? The OP’s topic implies that we have “lost” something that was once there. I’d like to revisit a discussion I introduced awhile back entitled: “Does Anyone Else Remember the Golden Age of Audio Insults and Product Degradation?” This was a short w... |
