  • Thank you, that’s the piece of info I never had. If it’s not a Reddit-level fact. The 2 channels were new and people wete trying things out and mind-altering substances were freely available as well, so judgment might have been hogtied at times.

    At the time, there was sentiment that it was a way to sell two amplifiers and speakers instead of one, a suspicion furthered by the later arrival of quad, which for many was a bridge too far. Audio places tried that briefly and then went back to selling stereo. And may be why a certain generation looks askance at 5.1 etc.

    There were other changes as well, tubes/valves to solid state plus hybrids…when I read about Cloud products in IT, it rhymes, marketing hoodoo inveigling into genuine tech appraisals.







  • I think the best way to know what you need is by being you.

    One could walk down a city street, find a shingle that says Psychic, pay the fee, and you’d have a stranger that never met you tell you if you’ve got something or not. Not that much diff from a shrink who doesn’t know you.

    I find it easier to look at what I need and find a path. Doing that is part of making one’s personal owner’s manual, which process in itself can help with what’s needed.

    If people don’t trust my word on self-d, they prob don’t trust me in other things.

    What you do is what you are.
