I had no idea there was SO MUCH not to learn or discuss! For the entire day, not once did I even consider buying or repairing broken Polk soundbars. How cool is that?!
Plus, my attorneys and victim support groups were able to take extra long lunches and walk in the park today!
Kudos to @nooshinjohn for bringing the fresh air of apathy into the minds of forum members everywhere!
Wife, you got new ______ how much was that
me, nothing
week later
me, you got a new bag with matching dress how much was that
wife, nothing just like what you're getting for the next year = nothing.
When I was a kid my parents told me to turn it down. Now I'm an adult and my kids tell me to turn it down.

That's an all time great movie right there!

In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence.
~ The best way to enjoy digital music reproduction is to never listen to good analogue reproduction ~
