| He Who Hesitates… UL and CE are not "standards"; they are merely certification marks awarded by test houses indicating the product has passed specific test requirements. You pay to play, but those marks in and of themselves don't indicate quality or design integrity. | |

| Is anyone still using a CD Player Don't stream; don't intend to. Ripped my entire library of CD's years ago, but don't listen to the rips. Mostly vinyl these days, plus CDs when I feel like it. Trying to work my way through my existing library before I die. Life is short. | |

| Best concert you've attended James Brown, Taste of Orange County, June 21, 1996. Best of all, I got to watch him rehearse his band for two hours in the afternoon before the concert. "The hardest working man in show biz" was no joke! | |
| The Case for a Curated Hi-Fi Marketplace Built for the Die-Hards For the .01% of the .01%. Where's the profit? In that realm, slow to low sales (little churn) and hard to keep going for very long once the newness wears off. | |
