and you call yourself an electrician? your cable managment can use some help :p

"But once an issue arrived, oh how it was devoured! On the day of arrival, I would sequester myself in my dorm room or bedroom and just begin reading. A day or two later, the entire issue had been consumed—every word—and some re-reading began. If you have children or grandchildren who were...

corporal punishment has too many obstacles as it is, the 8th amendment for one. It would get racialized immediately, and every SJW and civil rights group/activist would be in streets burning it down.

Having owned A5s, then Kef Blade Meta and now Vivid Giyas, I can concur with the OP. They're all exceptional on paper but very low in sensitivity. They need 300 wpc to come alive, and they all compress dynamics when pushed. I'm still waiting for the perfect compromise, a speaker sensitively...

I have hand written receipts from Chad dating back to '87. We've had calls that went 2-hrs, it was very personal in the early days as we're both about the same age. I watched his growth from the front row, as it were. He bought collections from me but I bought way more from him. I witnessed his...
