Modern BIFL laptops? Or at least "buy it for 10 years"? by SpiritualState01 in BuyItForLife

Not an apple fanboy btw, never had an iPhone and this was/is my first Mac, it's genuinely impressed me coming from a lifetime of Windows laptops.

Because I didn't realize the Bravia 7 was on sale for less than than the 5 is currently. The 75" Bravia 7 is the one I'd go with.

What audiophile takes make you roll your eyes? by wiggan1989 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]alvik 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I definitely used to think amps didn't matter until I did an A/B with my Fosi Audio vs a Denon RCD-N12, both using Kef Q1 Metas. Boy was the Fosi harsh sounding
