MC:I pack my own lunch, hardly ever eat out, haven’t had a cell phone or the monthly bill that goes with it - ever. No Starbucks habit. Worked weekend doubles, OT, took call, paid off my 15 year mortgage in 8 years. Talk about “virtue signaling”! 
Backup Generator transfer switch
Man, that sounds so familiar. Could swear I have heard it all before somewhere. But, where? We only have one Director of Engineering around here. Who else could possibly have such advanced detailed knowledge of electricity and electrical circuits?...

Roon - 10 Things You Don't Know
fynnegan:Thanks for sparing me the ignominy and embarrassment of outing myself as a Roon user.  I foolishly thought that something that so elegantly enhanced and improved my listening experience was somehow worth using.  But thanks to your penetra...

Don't ask...he might come back!  He won't. I made sure of that.Very interesting - care to share your technique?And is it applicable to other miller-based, or rather, carbon-based life forms?Asking for a friend...

Business Ethics in the Audio Industry
Viridian:  “usually I can be found in my underwear with a needle in my arm”Truly shocking!  Anyone on Audiogon should know it is not referred to as a “needle” but rather a “stylus”! 
All the old issues of Stereo Review are online!!
bdp24:  I think uberwaltz’s waitress story is a perfect illustration of “TMI” or “Too Much Information,” whereas Matti Otala introduced the term “Transient Intermodulation Distortion” or “TIM.”  Either way, NBD (No Big Deal). 
Vindication at Last!
gregm, uberwaltz & markmuse:Thanks! I was hoping for a little chuckle to relieve the constant tedious, puerile, combative, name-calling into which many Audiogon “discussions” seem to devolve.And you might be interested to know that another st... 
Vindication at Last!
n80:"Idea for a study: Are audiophiles humor challenged?"I'm afraid that question has been answered long ago.  However, if you ever find yourself in the position of having to treat one of our beloved fellow audiophiles, jot this down for future re... 
Vindication at Last!
uberwaltz:  a friend who spent some time in England informed me of the "before noon" rule you folks adhere to (something I had never heard of here in the States).  I was therefore immensely relieved to note that my post was made at 11:58 AM local ...
