CAN WE AUDIOPHILES DO OUR PART?


So we're all tired of hearing about nothing but Covid-19 (or, as I term it, the C-Plague). What can we do, as audiophiles, to help with all this.
I was amazed, and delighted, when I went to the Cardas website to see that they are doing their part. Go to their website and you'll see their director, Angela Cardas, wearing a mask. If you click on the Cardas Nautilus logo in the upper left corner, you'll see pictures of people there in the factory making masks with sewing machines. I called the company to congratulate them, and spoke with a woman named Darla, who said it was their way, during this economic slump, to keep their employees working and also their way of trying to "do our part."
I'm not writing all this to advertise Cardas products. They are a very good company, but trust your ears, not anything I write, when it comes to buying their products. They do get credit, however, for helping me come to a realization that pushed me in the right direction. I called a woman I am friends with, who is 85 years old and is a good seamstress, to suggest she start making masks. She already was--and is. By phone she has organized several other women to do the same, and right now they are needing more material and elastic. I managed to gather about 50 pounds of material and am starting to gather elastic while also getting more material. But I don't sew. I can't help out with that. Any ideas as to what we--all of us who are good with our ears and focused with our budgets--can do to help out in other ways?

I realize this is an odd topic to bring to an audio forum, but it was a very socially responsible audio company that got me to thinking about it, and frankly I believe I should be socially responsible enough to do what I can to get other people to thinking about it. While also being open to other people's ideas about ways someone like me who is "just an audiophile" can help.

Thank you, in advance, for any and all ideas on this.

phd,
I’ll tell you exactly why.
Because in the real world, you know, the one you seem not to be a part of, it never happened. Be one heck of a thing to keep secret, don’t you think? Did the 'Deep State' threaten all 2 million to hush up or else?
You’re foolishness is now to the point of tedium. You’re claims are now so over the top, I must revisit if it were all a joke...

thecarpathian,

Large one will set you back about $80, kitchen to door. Just make sure you are there to receive it so it does not stay outside for any period of time.
glupson, I'm going to agree with you because this information has obviously frightened you and that was not my intent, only to inform. Yes if there is a slight chance I am wrong I still would like to see people take precautions and wear their masks but don't don't take it too far,
Yes lets talk about cables. Mine are Cardas, and yes some cable companies do over-charge and over-exaggerate claims of their performance. Once I was sent a pair of ten thousand dollar cables from an Audiogon friend to try and possibly purchase. He claimed that these cables are so good that upon their insertion between a cheap receiver and a cd player made it sound very high end. Once received I could not produce the same results even with my own gear and quickly returned them although they didn't sound offensive to me. LOL. Some may say that my system was not good enough to appreciate the possible improvements but they are wrong.
glupson, I forgot to mention that I do believe in cable burn-in because the electrons eventually find their shortest path producing a better sound.
