Jud Report post #31 Posted November 27 Got a big 3 to 5 inches coming here. May have to get out the shovel to clear 20 feet of walkway - the horror! Actually it's welcome, though the timing may not be ideal. Here in the desert, winter snowpack is critical for plants and wildlife come spring. 1 AudioDoctor reacted to this One never knows, do one? - Fats Waller The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious.

Ralf11 Report post #32 Posted November 28 1 AudioDoctor reacted to this "The overwhelming majority [of audiophiles] have very little knowledge, if any, about the most basic principles and operating characteristics of audio equipment. They often base their purchasing decisions on hearsay, and the preaching of media sages. Unfortunately, because of commercial considerations, much information is rooted in increasing revenue, not in assisting the audiophile. It seems as if the only requirements for becoming an "authority" in the world of audio is a keyboard." -- Bruce Rozenblit of Transcendent Sound Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having grown up in Montreal with loads of winter snow and not infrequent blizzards, I will take the winter rain in Vancouver any day without complaint.
