@tinear123 I share your feelings.In my upper mid 60s, and having a grown son and grandchildren who don't particularly share my love for HEA. My son is a builder, a doer and an avid outdoors-man and has little interest in setting still long enough ...

Hi Fi Tuning fuses

How important is it for you to attain a holographic image?
