Not true. You need clipping lights too! I don't have a VU meter...but I have the clip indicator.

Yeah, that was a nasty and ignorant comment.
The Bangalore airport is top notch airport by any international standard:
And it is better than most (not all) US, European, Japanese, etc, airports.
Although I think Madrid gives it a run for the money.

Not much of a juggernaut.
Sonos sold more speakers than all the high end makers put together.
Speaking of Moore's law...
The Apple Home Pod is shockingly good for such a little thing. That smart / active DSP / room correction / sound steering thingy is impressive.

VU meters are objectivist...some time ago. I was just teasing anyway.
I really like the spectrum display on the RME.

Phones are so good they are impacting photography and media consumption. Talk about a disruptive technology.
Small bluetooth speakers...
I don't know anyone with a home stereo. Home theaters are much more common. Everyone else streams from phones
or tablets.
Come on guys there's toilet humour and my inappropriate drunkenness, that's valuable and entertaining too! Isn't it ? I mean your hurting my feelings here...
I liked Seattle airport, there's 2 types of airport to meYeah, that was a nasty and ignorant comment.

I suspect the tech that finds its way into phones impacts every other audio/visual playback device. The expectation of 24/192 capability on a miniature chip means bigger and more complicated is really only for show. What was considered "High-End" in the early Nineties is no longer an acceptable standard on the low end.

You probably haven't been to Seattle since they installed the new mid-runway bridge that lets you walk over the planes as they taxi underneath you.

But what about the carpet in PDX?

Time to start investigating the audio fidelity in the sound tracks of Japanese washlet toilets.

That's because you're a poor student.
Check back in 5-10 years when you start earning some real coin and have money to burn on big boy toys.

Throw out all that toy stuff and buy some big boy's HiFi. If you have to put your hand on the top of something to prevent it skidding when you plug in a 1/4" HP lead, or a component moves when connecting RCAs or an XLR, it's just kid's junk.
Just a sec, needa get rid of this RME DAC real quick. Damn toys all over the place.
Thank goodness. I though the only way out of this hobby was in a box.
Wow , sensitive much?
Bangalore is a bit cramped for a relatively new airport although Delhi and Mumbai and some of the other new ones aren't.
The issue with most American airports AFAIK is that they are ageing and in real need of a makeover while most Asian airports are relatively new.
+1 to that.
And Then there was CDG, that at one point in time (and not too long ago) would let you smoke right next to the gate at one of those open smoke booth things.
While I do not smoke any more, curious to know if there are any airports that still let one do that?

Along those lines, I like SFO. The BA business lounge has a private gate exit, so you can be drinking for free until the last minute, then walk straight onto the plane.
I was only there at some ungodly hour, so it wasn't very busy.
