Some people actively participate but rarely if ever start a thread.

@asvjerry  Interesting video Jerry.  Kudos to you.  

I have not started any threads or opened any discussions for All of the Reasons Listed Above.

+1 @sns  

I for one start threads to get answers to problems. Here I can get honest answers from people who for the most part don’t have anything to gain. And vice versa,  I try to answer questions that others have.  

@bigtwin ...I find prog trance nice to put on and putter about with....no vocals, just 'tone poems' of a sort....."a slave to the rhythm.....", as it is...*S*

@hilde45 ... Yes, a forum on bargain basement buys on 'oldies but goodies' is a capital concept to foment around here.  SOTA stuff is great to look at, but beyond the grasp of many who wander about here, much less get the chance to listen to.  I've been pushing my personal envelope with this, that, and the other for so long that it'll take a Lotto win to change my 'daily drivers' beyond where it stands at present....which would only result in updating what exists now anyway.... *G*

I peek 'n poke the sites for 'the next new/old thing' if only to keep a handle on what might surface of interest....new of late is mostly that which allows to torque up my game with the items at hand....

Since I diy, 3D printing of enclosures is a fascination of late. One can print augmented wood fiber filaments in shapes that a wood butcher can only lust after and the characteristics of which could take speaker enclosures into sculptures with an acoustical grounding....

Besides, 'we' as a group have this grounding of vintage and 'not quite yet' equipment that would allow the newbies and the financially challenged to dip their ears into the sonic sphere properly....

Hopefully without brush-fire forum debates over 'proper' and/or pricing.... ;)

Hang 'round here long enough, one finds more tangents to a given item under consideration than there's course corrections to a multi-planet space probe..

But, overall, imh we're a great batch of digital denizens to dote about with....and I've learned when to keep my digits off the keys when the pond gets deeper down for this driver diver.... 😏😎

It's nice out today....Time to take the dog out to the dog park and watch Coco outrun the lesser K9's.... (Boykin Spaniel rescue...27 lbs. of sheer velocity....*L*)

I have access to many knowledgeable people, including repair technicians and builders of gear, so I don't have many specific questions about problems that I need to ask here.  As for equipment recommendations, I don't go along with something like "consensus" opinion, so I don't ask--I try to audition anything I am interested in and go entirely with my own assessment.

But, I do enjoy the discussions here, and I do learn a lot by reading what a lot of people say here about a wide range of subjects.  I also try to add my own knowledge and opinions on various subjects, but I hope no one "relies" on my opinions but i do hope they at least consider them.
