A Tale for Your Bemusement
Well, in just under two months you'll be right as rain and none the worse for it. I like it when things work out for someone in unexpected ways. Thanks for sharing. All the best, Nonoise  
Throw it out!
Looks like you can use the Marie Kondo technique on just about anything. All the best, Nonoise  
Customs delay from China. How long should I reasonably wait?
If customs randomly chooses your package for inspection, it'll take awhile. It's not the fault of the sender. I had a package from England (a pocket knife) that sat forever in customs until they felt good and ready to inspect it and send it on its... 
New Audiogon URL restrictions are too much
This happened to me just once about a month ago when I tried to link a video from YouTube. It took about four attempts to get it to work and alls been fine since.  Here's a link from Wikipedia on networking. All the best, Nonoise  
Gallium Nitride GaN Class D Amplifiers
I have the Technics SU-G700M2 which uses GaN FETs and it's really nice sounding. No etch, great extension, slightly warm, lots of PRAT, great tone, you name it, it's got it. A keeper if there ever was one and it got me off the audio merry-go-round... 
Scientifically proven improvement for sound clarity.
This is nothing new, it's very old news, and I think it makes the music sound unbalanced and strange. Agreed. It's like the sound hit a wall and was scooped into your ears. Yes, you'll hear more detail, but it's a most unnatural way to hear it.... 
for Technics SU-R1000 owners....unit already discontinued? where to service?
A quick look at Technic's site shows your unit to be current and not discontinued.  Click above and see if this is the page you're getting. Investigating further, I got this message using my Zip Code:  For the NEW Technics Products that are lis... 
Seeking Budget CD Player Suggestions
@bigkidz  Your mentioning that Nano jogged my memory, leading to this: Was it anything like the Moondrop Discdream?  All the best, Nonoise  
Has anyone heard from bdp24 lately?
Who needs Spotify, Tidal or any streaming services when you can take it all in by just listening to bpd24. Sorry to hear about your family issues but good to hear back from you.  All the best, Nonoise  
DH Labs
I found the DH Labs glass Toslink to be head and shoulders above my Supra ZAC Toslink, my Lifatec Toslink and an Amazon brand that was well received. I also got a great deal on some DH Labs HDMI 2.0 when on closeout of that line which was  a nice ... 
A valentine poem to tubes
Class D, it's not, my Technics amp Despite tube lovers that often rant The sound is sublime No etch, no grime To admit as much, they can't    
A valentine poem to tubes
Tubes are nice They glow in the dark. With the right wine A romance may spark.    
20 Years?
@thecarpathian You'll be the first to know. I never understood anyone who said if they could go back in time, they'd never change a thing.  All the best, Nonoise  
20 Years?
20 years also. Time flies indeed. Time to restart my work on that time machine. That death ray was going nowhere. All the best, Nonoise  
Bananas rule, spades drool. End of discussion.
A long time ago I mentioned I was for bananas and my oh my some feathers got ruffled. Good to see that's no longer the case. Spade connections that I've used  all worked themselves loose over time. Gremlins love messing with spades. All the best,...
