| Is anyone still using a CD Player I play CD’s more than record albums. I don’t stream much except through my phone and Bluetooth speakers. | |
| Frank009 is stalking my profile page. He doesn’t look too happy. I thought this hobby was supposed to bring joy? | |
| Best concert you've attended Of the more recent concerts I really enjoyed was Dwight Yoakum and two bands that opened for him. I don’t recall the name of the first band, but the second band was a Tex-mex band, the Mavericks. If you like that style of music, I recommend seei... | |
| Improving My Hearing @newton_john Never heard of Earol — sounds like just the thing to maintain clean ear canals. Have you seen the device advertised that is a plastic shaft shaped like a spiral? You turn it inside your ear and it’s supposed to extract wax debris i... | |
| Improving My Hearing @samureyex Metal rod sounds aggressive and like it could scratch tender skin if not perfectly smooth. | |
| Improving My Hearing @drmuso Even with all the build-up in my ears, I would sometimes feel a piece of wax about to fall out, so I must make at least my share of ear wax, that my ears try to evict. I think it is all about softening the wax, using some kind of liquid, ... | |
| Improving My Hearing A little ear humor! 😝 | |
| Improving My Hearing I always heard that you shouldn’t use Q-Tips, or anything like that, to clean your ears. But I would grip the stick so that it would only go in so far, and figured that was safe. But I might have packed the wax in there. It wasn’t effective. | |

| Goldenear….recent experience and lesson learned Interesting. I was considering buying a pair of GE T66, which has powered subwoofers. But I hesitated too long and someone else bought them. Maybe I dodged a bullet? | |
| FM Radio, anyone? There are local fm radio stations that I like and aren’t just the same old songs rotated endlessly. One calls itself “Real Roots Radio” and has 3 stations it broadcasts on in SW Ohio and features old time country music, including bluegrass. Th... | |
| Neil Young I have not seen Neil in concert, but I would expect he was better 30 years ago than he is now. That has been my experience with older artists — their voice weakens and they don’t have the energy they once did. Alan Jackson was like that; so was W... | |
| Wasted Years. When I first got into higher-quality audio equipment 5.5 years ago, it was after my last girlfriend broke up with me and I decided to invest in more expensive and physically intrusive audio equipment that my gf likely would not have wanted. So, f... | |
| The death of ultra hiend audio If for no other reason, people have other needs and priorities in addition to (or in place of) hi-end audio. Everything is costing more and wages for most are stagnant. Most likely, not everyone in the household defines “recreation” as spending ... | |
| I can't believe I found one I received a Stereophonic stereo as a gift from my parents in the late 1960’s. They knew I was wanting a stereo, and my brother-in-law and sister suggested a less expensive model to the Stereophonic that they had purchased. Less expensive was ri... |
