Check Your Tidal Accounts for Unauthorized Users/Fees
You piqued my curiosity so I just looked at a few things.  No other users  or charges, but there are albums I have no idea who they are or why they are on my album list.  I always figured Tidal put them there as an advertisement.I have noticed tha... 
Infinity Renaissance 90 Piano Black
There is a lot of info on infinity-classics.de   It is THE Infinity go to site.If MagicMarsky cannot help, perhaps try to locate a pair of the Ren 80's as I believe they use the same EMIM & EMIT.  I had kept a 2nd pair of Ren 90's around for a...

Nice article.  Thanks 
What is your favorite album cover?
Brain Salad Surgery & Ambrosia's Road Island. It's a Ralph Steadman drawing.  Court of the Crimson King is music room wall art. One of the best. 
Do you care about car audio?
Folks talking about "the old days."  I had a Concord in the dash with a cassette player.  Super good in dash unit.Now a days the best improvement I have heard is listening to Radio Paradise.

Good timing for this post.  The other afternoon driving through the canyon heading home & Stairway To Heaven came on.  2020 Ram with really good stock sound system.  I cranked the piss outa it.  I was  digging the drive, song & day.  Every...

Everything has pros & cons.  Romex and you are stuck with what you installed without opening up the walls.  BX & you have the same.  Use 3/4" flex and there is room to pull more wire through any time in the future.  Even a sub panel.  Almo...

Sending a 110 lb amp to the manufacturer for cleaning/calibration. Good idea? How to ship?
I see in forums folks recommending replacing caps after XX amount of years.  I have a Krell FPB amp from around 2000.  It sounds perfect still to this day.  There are folks here that forgot more than I'll ever know about audio equipment.  But for ... 
Cat Scratch Fever?
Since this is a BS post & doesn't belong here, I will try to deflect. "Turn me on" was used as the intro in a 70's low tech form of entertainment. Anyone in SoCal see Laserium at the Griffith Observatory? Loud,cranked up JBL's I think? Yup ...

I Use a Goldpoint switch which works perfect for my application.  Perhaps it will suffice for yours also.  Scroll to the bottom of the home page for various box options.  https://www.goldpt.com/    
Has anybody bought or heard a Chinese knock off amplifier?
Yogiboy:  That's the fella!  The into:  I believe that's where the shop was, right off the 405.  My dad bought my big bro a bicycle from Muntz in around '63 or so.  That guy sold all sorts of things. Including the Craig 8-track in our station wagon.
