| 2-Part Help Needed Thank you for those great AXPONA pointers @vthokie83 and @kennyc ! As a first time audio show attendee, I really appreciate any advice on how to make the most of the upcoming experience. | |
| 2-Part Help Needed @vthokie83 thanks for the AXPONA tip. I’ve started highlighting and mapping the key booths I want focus on first. I’m not sure I mentioned it, but one key objective going to AXPONA (my first audio show) is to see if my 69+ year old tinnitus riddle... | |

| Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative” @kennyc doing some late night reading (and likely music enjoyment) I see. Thank you for the suggestion. As you imply, $10K is definitely a stretch for me. In all honesty, so is my $8K stated budget, as I haven’t talked with my wife yet about it.... | |
| Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative” @sro thank you for this recommendation. From reading many reviews over the years , the Danish audio companies consistently make some very highly regarded audio equipment. I hope to hear Aavik at the upcoming AXPONA (the first audio show I’m looki... | |
