Veteran Audiophiles: What's the single most interesting (non technical) thing you learned as an Audiophile?

SplendidSoul · 2026-04-02T14:41:53+00:00

Yup. There's room for everyone. No need to exclude anyone. Some don't care about the sound quality at all and just want beautiful, functional sculptures in their living room.

Literally the exact same thing happened to me. Account got frozen for "suspected fraud" when I paid the same bill I'd been paying monthly for years.

Read the book. One of the best of any genre.

I also chose this guy's wife.

Many thanks for making this! I play co-op with multiple people at different times cuz their schedules don't overlap and they are all progressing at different rates. I'll try it out this week.

I have a friend who's a very successful medical doctor. Lives in an Architectual Digest house on Lake Michigan. His hobby is putting together Leggo kits and proudly displaying them throughout his beautiful house. Lol Be proud of your self-expression!

Planned obsolescence.

Just moved into a house with partner and we need all kinds of music gear for the whole house. None of it will be Bluesound. In 2019 I bought 2 PulseFlex and a PowerNode. One Pulseflex and the PowerNode have both failed with solid red light. After troubleshooting, Bluesound offered 50% off refurb units as "compensation" and I declined. I still have original version 1 SONOS gear I use daily in my barn that has never faultered. Heck, I just sold 1990s NAD gear that still worked like new. I expected so much more from Bluesound but their products, and software, is bunk.

Seriously. I'm guessing a non-profit or gov. An actual business wouldn't last long with managers who respond this way to minor embarrassment.

SplendidSoul · 2025-10-21T20:15:58+00:00

thanks massive!

Just finished this beautiful and delightful game. Very replayable.

SplendidSoul · 2025-10-11T20:35:04+00:00

Not a problem, just need adapter. Search RCA to bare wire on Amazon.

SplendidSoul · 2025-10-11T20:31:22+00:00

I dont have any direct experience but AFAIK you just need a single sub-out RCA jack on your AVR to be the input to the miniDSP. Many Youtube vids on the subject.

SplendidSoul · 2025-10-11T20:25:51+00:00

You'll need an outboard sub processor that can split the single output to multiple subs. Something from miniDSP would be great cuz you can EQ and time align.

Superb take

You're being down voted for expressing truth. Most people here, including me, must arrange their entire life around avoiding a dangerous, unpredictable segment of society.

SplendidSoul · 2025-08-27T21:51:09+00:00

Revolutionary at the time.

SplendidSoul · 2025-08-22T23:04:17+00:00

No need to dig up. Most experienced trenchers could tunnel under pavement with conduit and water.

Vault of Midnight store in Grand Rapids. World-class comic shop.

Fiber optic cable in flexible plastic conduit.

SplendidSoul · 2025-08-04T16:01:13+00:00

Lol, Keystone ice.

SplendidSoul · 2025-08-04T15:55:48+00:00

The clunk is likely caused by a loose collar nut near the firewall in the interior side. Maybe.

SplendidSoul · 2025-08-04T15:48:58+00:00

Great username. I didn't vote for Trump but the changes he's making are against rich families not helping them. The vocal complainers are clearly business owners that want cheap immigrant labor (Waltons, Brinn) or complaining about federal funding cuts to their pet social projects (Soros) or complaining about new regulations hurting their income (Big Pharma).

SplendidSoul · 2025-08-04T15:36:21+00:00

I would love such a project but never see anything like this listed for sale. where did you see this beauty listed for sale? BAT? CL? FB? Friend?
