    What are your biases in the world of hifi, audio and sound?

    90% of SQ is speakers and room. Since the rest is just for fun, it might as well look good.* *Assuming a common format of music storage.

    Tinnitus possible help for us that suffer

    I guess I'm lucky enough not to be bothered by my tinnitus. At times its quite loud, but I think of it as I do about uncontrolable sensory inputs like room temp or under-foot pressure. It just is, and I go on. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

    Is really necessary to spend megabucks to get good sound?

    You can potentially get very good to excellent sound on a budget with well designed and built DIY gear, like in Jozua's case. More than half of the equation though is the room and set-up.  Here too you can luck-out with an incidentally good room or end up paying mega bucks to design and build...

    Your dealer - what are realistic expectations?

    More Sunday thoughts.... Troubles come, imo, when we stop trusting each other, when we have too many experiences of people acting in bad faith and getting away with it. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

    Get a Haircut and eat something

    Your average dishwasher's life is in more danger from not having work, than from the absolutely remote chance of catching C19 from a soapy dish. These are not people in the danger zone, but they are likely feeding young children and old people with their meagre income. Sanity has flown right...

    Change of Habit during Lockdown

    We started exercising a lot more - mostly long brisk walks. I hope it sticks. [emoji1696] Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

    Opinion : Lexus, Honda, Mazda, Volvo

    Congrats on your new wheels! Rest assured you are driving one of the most reliable cars on the road. Lexus, Honda, Toyota and Mazda are all great choices imo, more so when buying used. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

    Freedom of Speech

    Martin Niem?ller's poem is very relavent to any debate on freedom of speech. I like it: "They came first for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade...

    Joke for the day

    I don't smoke, so I just spray a small amount of WD40 on the tick. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

    Freedom of Speech

    Freedom of speech is an interesting one. If you're allowed to speak your mind, then so is the next person. Sometimes one or both will be wrong, but if one can shut the other down, then its not freedom of speech any more. I listened to a podcast with Naval Ravikant the other day. His opinion...

    OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT - Remedytec is moving on... here's to a new adventure!

    All of the best with your new adventure Judy! I'd say keep thinking of the process as an adventure and simply go over your reasons for going on the adventure,whenever doubt sets in. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

    Has the world gone crazy?

    So you agree that the lockdown is a selfserving tool, used by the elite to protect itself, with incidental supporters among those who are either financially unaffected or profiting. [emoji106] AFAIK, those who want to feed the needy are now being hindered from doing so via licences, day...

    Has the world gone crazy?

    Frans Cronje's 2014 book and RW Johnson's 2015 book were both very influencial in my life. I gave them away 2 yrs ago, but it would be interesting to see how far things have tracked down Cronje's scenario milestones now...

    Has the world gone crazy?

    More a case of: It wont affect me. I find it odd that its OK to talk about people dying of hunger in terms of stats, but when it comes to the impact of corona virus shutdowns, we have to think of our relatives. :nfi: Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

    Has the world gone crazy?

    Why do we panic about corona, when there's so many more effective and frankly horrifying ways to die? My guess is that corona can catch any of us, while we don't have much personal danger of starving to death. In the process of saving ouselves (again), we're quite happy to ignore the knock-on...

    Has the world gone crazy?

    We can safely assume that the economic impact of Covid-19 shutdowns are hitting the billions of people living close to the poverty line first and hardest. These are those human beings who are not able to pivot and profit in times of change. Plenty of mention is made of scientific and public...

    Has the world gone crazy?

    I dont disagree with being careful. Limiting big public gatherings is a good thing. But. The fall out for many people is going to be joblessness and potentially poverty, which is going to be much more deadly. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk
