Good luck with your move Bones.

Chris-You had lots of reasons why moving/downsizing was the right thing for you to do and I completely understand the decisions you made. What I was addressing was the automatic script that when you...

Sounds like your dermatologist is in love with Botox! You can't win the war against wrinkles because time and gravity are a bitch. And people who love them some facelifts only get a couple shots at...

That may or may not be true, but there certainly seems to be an expectation from the masses that with retirement comes downsizing your home and lifestyle. I know that from the barrage of questions...

Joe, I'm happy to hear that you are in your late 70s and still enjoy listening to music and are still upgrading your system! I find that refreshing.

Nicoff, it isn't just downsizing your audio gear footprint. I'm quoting you here from your original post on this thread:

"The music zone is now in our living area. As for the cinema... well, it's...

Where do other people get off telling you that you must downsize? That's nuts and none of their business. Now there is a commercial on TV that tells "empty nesters" that they need to sell their...

Pro audio gear has size standards called the Rack Unit (RU). Home audio gear can be whatever size a company wants to make it. As for pulling the top off of an amplifier and not seeing much inside...

How would you possibly know that? The answer is you don't.

Congrats for not downsizing and maintaining your love for music and having a dedicated listening room.

Agree 100%

100% incorrect. ISO 9000/9001 certification doesn't guarantee any degree of quallity. It just means you paid your annual certification fees so you can fly a meaningless flag outside of your...

That's a bummer Chris. Having younger neighbors can be a blessing.

I for one am not fixated on resolution per se, I'm fixated on SQ. The majority of my digital listening is 16/44.1 files because I find they sound better than far too many "hi-rez" files. Having...

My sentiment exactly.

I assume you meant that you will retire at the end of 2024. A move from Mobile, AL to Seattle, WA is quite the move. I hope it all works out for the best.

Now we have at least two people on AS that love the sound of 320 kbps. I'm glad that you are OK with downsizing your stereo system and you are happy with the outcome.

That explains a few things.

Nicoff, did you recently downsize your house?

If Tidal was free, I still wouldn't give up my Qobuz account.

Your new receiver puts out 90 watts per channel at 8 ohms. The minimum load for this receiver is 6 ohms which means it won't drive 4 ohm loads.

How could you possibly know that when they haven't been released yet? That's just a biased assumption on your part.

It's very slow here and has been for days now.

That is exactly correct which is why if at all possible you need to dump your cable provider totally. I had Comcast and they were my internet provider and my cable company and the monthly bill was...

No, I haven't tried the commercial free service. I either watch live programming which has commercials or I DVR shows and blow through the commercials.
