@uberwaltz - Understood. The hardware threads, especially when the subject is DD turntables, fuses, cables or Class -D amplifiers, get really wacky. I do not understand some of the people that participate in those threads. I don't get why they are so aggressive in their opinions.
So, I simply stopped participating in those threads. I did not want to be the target of that group of people.
However, the 3-4 music threads, where I do participate, have been very enjoyable. I've learned a lot, discovered a lot of great music, get reminded of old stuff I haven't heard in years, and sometime offer up a tidbit to the folks who participate in those thread.
You started a great thread a while back - "What are you streaming tonight?" It has over 2000 posts. You can't give up! I don't want to have the answer that question that always comes up: "What happened to the OP?".
Hope to see you in the music threads. If you are watching, at least drop us a post periodically, so we know you're still kickin'.
Good Luck Buddy. I hope you have a change of heart.....
