I am a fat guy who identifies as a slender guy. Does that make me a transslender?
I have not done anything to my rig today but find more music to buy, thanks to the guys at LASF.

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.

I unhooked my LSiM 705’s and reconnected my Boston VR-M60’s and am enjoying music so much more.
Today I have the 705’s back in action and they sound great. There must really be something to weather/cleanliness of the power coming into the house that has a significant impact on my system. Nothing else has changed.

What music would that be Tom?
T-bone shuffle by Boz Scaggs
London Grammer - Hey now
The other one, I have to research......Joyce Cooling - This girl has got to Play - or - Toasted Jam........the room got a little loud and I got discombobulated on which one they were trying to talk about....

That whole album from London Grammar "If you wait" is great! I discovered it when I went to LSAF. Good music stands the test of time. Every one should check it out.
I'm currently warming up the rig to check out an album a coworker suggested. A little later from now.

Got an Audioquest 3.5 mm to RCA for my Chromecast Audio. It is just an Evergreen but I did get it for $5 on the bay.

Bought close to 100 cds from local Goodwill stores, when I saw $0.99 a cd. I never knew that Goodwill would have cds, but they do.... what I might have missed out on

If you're anything like me, it's just your brain that has changed. I have 2-4 sets of monitors that I swap around with at any given time, each set with their own characteristics. After a few weeks (sometimes months) with one pair, my brain becomes "acclimated to" (bored with?) them and don't enjoy them as much, so I switch them out for one of the other pairs, and they sound so great I wonder how it was I was listening to the pair I just removed from the system. This happens over and over again for me, in an endless cycle. It's very much like tube rolling, IMO.
I just "rolled" to Wharfedale Denton 80s from the Gallos in my signature and haven't updated it yet. I don't know why I was liking those Gallos so much. Someday maybe I'll find speakers that I love all the time, but I doubt it.

I had an HDMI cable that identified as a CAT5.

Maybe it identified as an interconnect?

It sure does Tom, but it also makes you a fatophobe and you should be shunned for all the hatred you show towards the obese.

Same thought I had when I signed up a couple of months back... Much better than Spotify... of course in my opinion.
Me too brother! I've asked myself the same question!
