    current subarus suuuuuuuuuuuck, i would not buy anything they make now. current crosstrek compared to a 2004 STI is like comparing a toyota yaris to a mid-90's 2JZ-powered Supra :)

    nearly! has some tokico D3 struts and cobb sway bars, but other than that the suspension is stock. for power mods it has a cobb OTS tune (will be getting a pro tune from JM in minneapolis this summer), cobb intake, turbo heatshield, and turboXS exhaust. so really, in the STI world . . ...

    What does the hi-fi system look like on board a superyacht?

    he does a great job- I started watching him at the beginning of the russia/ukraine war- eSysman was covering everything going on with the sanctions and how it affected russian yachts around the world.

    it's equally as silly to assume dave caveman had perfect feet simply because he didn't use shoes

    Noisy digital audio on LG TVs

    if eARC works for you and your dac/avr/whatever+tv aren't having dropouts there's no reason to make any changes. if you're having dropouts, then try a different connection method.

    I had an AWFUL experience with an alienware m15 R3 a couple of years ago- the thing had to be undervolted to run at all, it would hit 100 degrees on the CPU during boot.

    Harman acquires Roon

    huh? if it's tagged then it's identified, that makes no sense. not an issue I've run into in years of using roon with lots of files that are not in roon's database and are only IDed from tags . . . shoot I have a bunch of unreleased things in my library, only possible way is with tags there.
