| Useless Things A friend told a story about visiting another out of state friend, and noticed he was propping up his garage door for ventilation with a Mac amp chassis. My friend asked if he could go to Home Depot, pick up a concrete block to replace the the Mac ... | |
| You're not a true audiophile unless... The label "audiophile" can be a badge of honor or invoke grimaces and/or mockery depending on whether interactions with others are complimentary, helpful, or condescending. When opportunity arrises, and you enthusiastically whip out your smart pho... | |
| You're not a true audiophile unless... One who can converse regularly in audio forums without embarrassing themselves (too badly) | |
| Humour A seasoned audiophile, an electrical engineer, and a strongly-opinionated hifi reviewer walk into a bar ... | |
| "I love it when a plan comes together!!!" Well played. On multiple levels. | |
| Humour Duirng my most recent checkup at the Dr's office, I was told my blood pressure was too high and was instructed to stop watching cable news. I cancelled my Audioquest newsletter. | |
| Humour I didn’t know my bass from my oboe until I became an audiophile. | |
| Amp showing its age? Lots of words of wisdom here. Well dine. | |
| I’m confused. Please explain. @hifiguy42 "I would guess I'm an outlier, but I actually don't enjoy most (in person) live music." I get it. At my age, I've discovered that the proximity of the Port-A-Potty(s) is the number one priority for me at live events. Yes, even highe... | |

At just over $350 (for the pair), delivers something "enjoyable" to those who have not had the opportunity to get up close and personal with stel... | |
| How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound? @asvjerry ... Sunbeam (Tiger/Alpine) = British ≠ metric. Got lots of 1/4-20 & 1/4-28 bolts holding the windscreen frames, boot and bonnet brackets in place. Go figure. | |
| How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound? @asvjerry You rarely disappoint. Your "tool bounce off" moment was an effective Newtonian physics demonstration. Very impressive! One question: Was the wrench standard or Metric? | |
| I’m confused. Please explain. As an dealer of "pretty decent" audio gear, I was proud of our product selection at the time. I got word that the Polish national champion string quartet was coming to our area. So, I got tickets. About 47 seconds into the performance, I hated eve... | |
| Graphene Sluggo - Unlocking Sonic Scenery @verafiaudio Thanks for noticing. Made my day. I'd like to take create for this little tidbit, but it goes back a long way. Pretty sure it was a comedian one-liner from years ago. | |
| How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound? I found that the dirtier and nastier the task, the more forgiving I am of flaws in audio quality. Listening to music while cleaning the bugs off the motorhome, for example, does not require a pristine delivery of an audio masterpiece to be a bene... |
