    Let's discuss A0. Yes? No? Maybe?

    A0 is the lowest note on a standard 88 key piano. Its frequency is 27.5 Hz. Here's a link to a piece of music that "features" this note: So, if you listened to the piece or are already familiar with it, do you think one needs a subwoofer to enjoy A0? Let's omit synesthesia fro the...

    Desk FX Plus by NCH Any Other Users?

    Anyone else using this? I got it out of desperation, when I couldn't get Equalizer APO to work with Windows 11. The interface could be better. I have to use the Windows Magnifier with it. I think I like it. Here's a link.

    I found this app on the App Store. It works with Apple Music. Folks with “iProducts” may want to give it a try out.

    Has Anyone Noticed These on Amazon?

    I thought these speaker stands were interesting. But, the twelve inch height was useless, maybe not. 6 inch, 24 inch & higher would be nice. Here these are.
