i like to think that non audio subjects can be discussed here and should be as this is a forum where one might find like minded people to discuss things with.if i was ever invited to another members home for a listening session and the only topic on offer was audio it might get old after a while.this forum attracts people who tend to be intelligent,educated,and informed on a wide variety of topics and that is why i log on.that being said i appreciate the work that the moderators and administrators do.many thanx
