| Why did this just happen ? @eugenegearty Always refreshing to hear good news when new "stuff" is swapped out and something positive happens. I’m with @budjoe on this one. Changing to USB C indicated a definite change in cabling. The "sonics" of cable changes can range fr... | |

| 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) | |

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... |
