    What pets have you had? Post pics of your pets, previous or now. Why do I love my pet so much?

    My newest family member Yogi, presently 9 months old. He came to me as a foster with a vascular ring anomaly called PRAA (persistent right aortic arch).

    Anyone find it far more rewarding listening to real physical CDs on a CD player, rather than using FLACs? And why do you find this?

    Any SPECTROGRAM experts? have a question/wondering if my idea is possible

    There is a learning curve with MATLAB, but it is very useful. As I recall, it's also not cheap, so my former employer didn't allow everyone to have it on their laptop.

    Snake Oil Department, Top This

    As I said in another thread, D'Agostino gear is ridiculously expensive audiophool stuff. However, it is also impeccably machined and beautiful (IMO) to look at. I just can't comprehend dumping that kind of cash into audio equipment. I suppose if you can drive a $10M+ Ferrari, why not?
