| Ethernet Suggest checking out Blue Jeans cable. They gave 3 different types they sell, 5e, 6 and 6a, and will make any length and color you want. They also test each cable and include the test sheet with your order. I’ve ordered several cat 6a, which is... | |
| ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS Good question. I’m like Groucho, I would never want to belong to a club that would have me as a member. | |
| Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable? If you have a lot of vinyl or want to get into spinning records it’s worth it. IMO. I moved on from vinyl in the late 80s when CDs hit and now I’m streaming more than playing CDs. There’s something special to some about owning physical media esp... | |
| Aurender a1000 impressions vs Eversolo A6 and Cambridge Cxn100 Thanks for sharing your experience. I had the Eversolo 6 and 8 and had problems with connectivity so returned them. Then tried the Cambridge but didn’t like the app compared to the BluOs I ran from my Bluesound Node N130. I tried a trial of Roon b... | |
| What would you save in a fire? So sorry to hear and my heart goes out to all those impacted by the fires. My wife and I discussed this a few years ago after a fire at my parents house. We decided on our files and important documents. Initially it was family pictures but fort... | |
| Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why. I did for years until I learned about toe in. I have one pair of towers with no toe in and they sound good in a large open room. I toe in the other speakers I have in smaller rooms with more surface reductions. Adjusting speaker placement as ne... | |
| Beware, scammers everywhere The scammers are getting more and more sophisticated. Around here the latest scam is a text that looks like it’s coming from EZ Pass that you have an unpaid toll charge. You have to look closely that the link isn’t exactly the same as the real v... | |
| Can we make major musical discoveries at age 50, 65, or 80? Agree that streaming has made finding and listening to new music so much easier. Qobuz starts their menu with new releases which make it easy to check out the latest new music. I also get new songs from satellite radio if I’m not listening to my... | |

| Can we make major musical discoveries at age 50, 65, or 80? I keep discovering new music and new artists after 50 years of listening. I don’t think they have the same impact as when I was younger but what does. Feels like the first time only feels that way the first time. What the same is the feel and j... | |
| Shopping for a new TV... this is one deep rabbithole... I’ve had good experiences with Best Buy delivering and setting up new TVs. I used to get them and set them up myself but my 75 and 65 inch ones are so big it’s not worth the hassle. I would definitely go with a local retailer if possible so you ... | |
| The Real Reason Why Music Is Getting Worse!! Every generation thinks their music is the best because it’s personal and it means something to them. As I get older I realize my thinking that my music was the best when I was younger and everything else wasn’t was myopic. I like some of the mu... |
