| Which Songs Make Good Ringtones? Ringtone marker app (apple) lets you make any part of a track a ring tone. My mother in law got the barking dog (standard apple issue). | |
| A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer. Yup. Room #1Your hearing #2Speaker placement #3. Move them a bit a see! | |
| My hearing deficits are becoming clear... @whitestix Like you I hear the stereo very well but (prior to covid) got lost with background noise is busy places. No amount of hydrogen peroxide solves it for me but the crackling is fun. Have you tried a cleaning? St. Jude?Hi from Davis. | |
| Neil Young calls out Tidal When his (Neil Young's) Pono venture went dark a lot us got orphaned. It was not at all handled well. Poof.I'm in the US and on Qobuz there are dozens of his Albums..American Stars 'N Bars through to Zuma | |

Yeah Day Glow put on with clockwise strokes with micro detail sable brush.With some bit of seriousness over the years I have looked at some of the more far fetched looking "improvements" and come cl... | |
| What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen. With sincere apologies to OP for going off topic.@millercarbon From Wikipedia, Snowflake is a 2010s derogatory slang term for a person, implying that they have an inflated sense of uniqueness, an unwarranted sense of entitlement, or are overly-emo... | |
| What did your system look like 30 years ago? Ah yes the Milty Zerostat (anti static gun). It was red. Good times.My older son (now past thirty) as a tyke turned up the volume all the way, gave us heart attacks and blew out my beloved three way Braun (810?) speakers. Amp was a Marantz, TT was... | |
| Tidal vs Quobuz Tried both and thought SQ on Quohbuzz (Like that misspelling?) was a bit better. Naturally the ultra high res files do sound better.Still pondering Roon vs Qobuz but that's a "champaign problem". | |
| Living with unsolvable hum - Any audio detectives out there? Maybe this was mentioned and I missed.Did you try not using power conditioner? Did you plug pre directly into wall? | |
| Your system struck by lightning? What did you learn? Yes; have been stuck twice and had power surges/dips from heck (those can fry electronics too). Whole house surge protection is in. Inexpensive to do all things considered. Robust power conditioner in use.Unplugging when away or when thunder is ar... |
