@BDWoody Incredibly important post for all of us. Spelling the entire process out is extremely valuable - I could hear myself in much of the thought process you went through. Hope your current recovery goes well and is uneventful. Best of luck with the future procedures.

I applaud Dave at Ascend for literally putting his money where his mouth is. These measurements are terrific for a speaker at this price point and set a very high bar for others. Based on Erin’s review, I actually ordered a pair for our TV room, which is a small, mixed use space (TV and music...

+1 on both of these recommendations. Anytime I bought new trainers, I always went through a period of discomfort - like my feet had to get used to the new shoes. That all changed when I tried Hoka’s. They felt comfortable immediately and I was able to walk longer distances with no foot pain...

Your use of bolding and a face palm emoji suggests you hold a rather demeaning view of people who don’t post links in this thread. I’d prefer a more constructive approach, but hey, that’s me.

Didn’t realize links was mandatory in this thread. For those it would hurt more to figure out what these items are: Neurochrome 686 Bernina 535

Don’t I wish! Wife’s a knitter, but now getting into sewing as well. Can get insanely expensive - just like audio!

A Neurochrome Modulus-686 Safe-n-Sane (built by Tom Christiansen) for me and a Bernina 535 for my wife. I think we’ve got the next 10 Christmas holidays covered.
