  What is a smart speaker that doesn't sound like crap? I'm not after ultra bass or even a lot of it but something fairly even FR if possible

    JBL Boombox2 and Marshall Tufton were decent. JBL has quite good bass extension.

    Riva is very hard to beat and a favorite here. Donald North had a hand in designing them. You can sometimes find refurbs on Monoprice.

    Thanks guys. Riva sounds like the ticket, and the upcoming Stadium looks to fit the bill. Cheers!

  Can we ban interest-check ads? Either sell it or don't, IC is such a pussyfooting ad

    It also leads to buy/sell outside of the threads which leaves no records for pricing

  This is pretty the only American-base that I am a part of. What's the general feeling of Trump lately? Very state-dependant?

    Trump makes diarrhoea on the carpet look good. I guess there are deeply unpleasant people in all areas of politics. So unpleasant that it is not even necessary to ask about their politics: they are simply something one wouldn't want to step in. Me: ignorant foreigner with two countries' politics closer to home than America. Trouble is, America matters to the rest of us, whether we like it or not.

    Has the impeachment thing actually strengthened some of Trump's support? Even I don't think that a bit of wheeling/dealing is enough to shock sufficiently. They should have waited until he was caught red-handed eating a baby ("It was a very perfect meal" lol)

    From my perspective it seems that the impeachment strengthened support for Republicans, not necessarily Trump. But it depends on who you ask. I live in Indiana, so most people I interact with are conservative and feel the impeachment was just partisan BS. That said, a lot of people I know here who voted Trump openly agree he is a dumbass most of the time. They just really didn't want Hilary.

    Caught a few songs on Spotify. Not really F+tM so much as London Grammar meets Chvrches, but more mainstream pop sounding?

    is the dynamic range on 10000 days any better than the cd? EDIT: I answered my own question, looks like its the same master as the CD...meh. EDIT2: seems like they may be slightly different masters, but dont seem to be worth getting?

    I guess these prices make a lot of sense from a vendor’s perspective

    From what I've seen, tellurium is a really food conductor, almost as good as 100% copper. But beryillium and phosphorus bronze are like 1/3 as conductive and in TONS of very expensive connectors. Whether it's audible or not I couldn't tell ya.
