If you remember Candyliquor created the tin foil ear prosthetic for enhanced SDA listening.
Remember how Joe had that prosthetic for his bad ear?
Ron (rsaravan?) The old SL 2000 tweeter with resistor in series trick?
Remember the Polkfest headquarters visit where I introduced myself to someone as Ron and all heads snapped around? Now that was funny!

The SL2000 trick was Candyliquor and it was a 2.2uF capacitor not a resistor. He liked those SL2000's so much he mounted one in the front doors of his car. He also complained to his HOA and police that his neighbors were parking their cars in the street instead of the driveways. I could go on......

I'll bet not many here remember Nascarmann, RIP. Super guy with great sense of humor. I believe he was the first to respond to my first post.

I was trying to work in a Candyliquor reference in my OP, but somehow I couldn't think of anything. I had feeling his name would come up in this thread

Ya' know, zingo. I think you are the only one here that has a designation of "audiophile". It slipped through 2 different audio forums if memory serves.

Saying that it's "too hard" to pursue your dreams is no different than admitting to yourself that you are too lazy to achieve them.
