    Tariff implications.........

    Fair enough—choosing not to act is a valid option. However, I believe the imbalances we’re seeing go far beyond barber services. China’s trade, tariff, and import/export policies are heavily skewed in its favor, often at the expense of others. These practices aren’t just aggressive—they’re...

    Tariff implications.........

    So what would you do if faced with the imbalances the US faces? China buys only what it strategically needs from the US and essentially blocks everything else. If the US continues to let China dictate the worlds commerce, we and the world will wake up one day with huge costs, withheld supplies...

    Did you read that in People magazine or hear it on MSNBC or was it on the ‘internet’? How could anyone possibly know what is going on inside a family like the Trumps?

    Esoteric Upgrade Program Announced

    AV Receiver Recommendaions forNew TV watching Room

    FWIW - one advantage I have learned of the Apple TV, is that the Apps are always kept up to date. I have found the TV makers do not commit to keeping the TV operating system or apps up to date. They seem to do okay for a few years but I have been taught not to trust them. The Apple TV...

    Why I Stopped Using Roon

    We all have various parts of the hobby that we enjoy. There is no ‘right’ answer. Exploring and finding new music is one of them for me. For the past few years, I have been exploring Bruckner, Sibelius and Elgar. Qobuz and ROON have made that easier. It has also lead to me purchasing a...
