Wives can do that.

Is that a Sub Woofer in the photo?

A friend of mine had a hifi store for many years. Morphed into a home theater store. Damn good thing his wife is a money manager with strong 6-figure+ income to offset his losses. He's retired now; she isn't. I'm quite certain their net income has doubled.

I really dislike them, since you asked. :oops:

I've never thought "integrated" amplifiers were a good idea. But that's just me.

Just finished a bottle of Duckhorn 2019 cabernet. Delicious. I have to say, though, that I'm increasingly dismayed at the decision by many California producers to release cabernet very early - as young as two years after harvest (Caymus 2020 has been available for several months now)...

I regard having my posts flagged "for moderator review" on other audiophile sites as a badge of honor. And one site banned me altogether. This site is another matter entirely.

Thank you for the explanation. Guys like you are what make this site so great - and Amir, of course! :)

OK, but what does it DO?

What exactly does it do? Can it be explained without reference to either Niels Bohr or Max Planck?

In all honesty, I've had such poor experiences with longevity of USB cables that I can't really criticize people who buy "audiophile" USBs simply in the hopes of finding something they don't need to replace in 6 months.

Theoretica Applied Physics BACCH-SP adio Stereo Purifier Uh-huh.

Since one can easily control the Node using a dirt cheap Android tablet, this reasoning has never made sense to me.

Awesome sauce.
