| Elapsed Time Counter for Tracking Stylus Life I use mechanical 9999 clickers. Metal. round about the diameter of a flattened golf ball punch once to up number by one.

| To active speaker or not.. this is the question Combo equipment gives me the shudders. Stuff breaking is bad enough. Your in-speaker amp goes out, you cannot just swap another amp in. Something goes wrong with the speaker, you got no amp to use. Then I think your prices you can get for you old ... | |

| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? I tell folks: If you can't hear it, why bother? when asking worrying questions like should I use expensive XY cables here or there? On the other hand some of us can hear differences. And a sold gold cable would SUUUUCK. Solid silver on the other h... | |

| Pros and cons of leaving your DAC on 24/7 Retire. Then you can listen all day long, every day like I do! Before I retired, when I went to work, I left my stereo on playing music for my pets! | |
| The Absolute Sound vs Stereophile Yes, the pretty pictures...Stuff to dream about.. I have tried to watch Audiophile Show utube videos. But find them totally too boring.Maybe if they used static but great pics of the equipment they are talking about. Instead of wobbly annoying vid... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? Both are wave forms (and actually very similar in many ways) passing through a medium. Why not? I say yes. Why would you say no? | |
