@tkrtrb125 ...I don't care for argumentations over audio, either. 🙁
Even as I'm positive that one makes a decision on what item for 'concrete' considerations and rationales with the costs involved, those choices when rendered here can seem to get ground into sand with the occasional inference of
"What were you thinking?!"
...and the given forum is off and running....for however many pages that may entail.
Audio and that which we employ for the appreciation of what we prefer to listen to is so meshed with our tastes, desires, and the situations we inhabit to do so.
Barked up against a 14K$ power cord....which the lucky few will see as a pittance; to yours unruly, is more than I've wagered on my entire by 5X....
@73 .... I wear aids, by necessity ....at 2K, I roll off like a ski slope. Physical dexterity is slipping, multiple Rx for a heart condition (2 make me 'drowsy', 2 'dizzy', 2 additional do both; 3 are effected by high temps outdoors that amplify the previous), COPD, on-board pacer and de-fibber, eyes on the verge of cataracts...
Oh, and then there's the potential of being ADHD and/or ADD since birth or thereafter, but those terms didn't even exist when I was young...
... and a few sharp hits to the skull beyond that start....none of which were deserved....car accident, thrown baseball bat, oak stool broken during a break-in attempt (ER MD stitching head commented he'd seen a lot of these due to bar fights....retort was that there wasn't anything or alcohol involved, and certainly nothing fun about it...)
..personal pref, btw... more my style, and cheaper.
Would love to ride, but I bend, fold, tear, and mutilate too easy of late....even through leather and ballistics....
.but I know what I like, even if it's far from SOTA. If it makes me happy, I can still miss the last .001% and be blissfully engaged, despite all of the above.
@mapman .....consciousness is the dangerous thing, in that some seem to lack 'conscience' over the power and prescience it wields....mho....
@uncledemp .....'bout ready for a bowl of that....;)
As for 'how am', you've likely seen the above....
Still Vertical....👍😎
