Sorry to hear of your loss Don. My mom just died last sunday evening at 96. Will take a while to get the
equilibrium back, so hang in there my friend.

Losing family is unlike any other loss.  Condolences, Steve. 😔

Sincere condolences Steve.
May your memories be good ones.
To a certain degree I am glad for my ignorance in audiophilia. I've got a really good sounding system
put together (to my ears anyway) and without the knowledge that a lot of you (Steve and Dave for example) have on how to make things sound better and what the innerds of a piece are made of will say in my case ignorance truly is bliss. Gotta admit I actually miss the scrutiny I got when bringing in new equipment and
her really good ear of sound. Had a piano tuner come in to work on the Mason and Hamlin grand that hasn't been touched once Shirley lost her sight to the point she couldn't read tablature. Found out it was built in
1923 and when he was done he played some on it. It reminded me that there is nothing that can compare.
All we can do is enjoy the music through whatever means possible. And ya, I hope to find that enjoyment
again. If not than I've put a great deal of money into nothing.

Thank you Gentlemen. I appreciate your friendship and prayers, especially at this time.

Music can do wonders for the soul, like a good medicine.

All the best to you, my friends.
