    What cigar are you enjoying with your tunes?

    Men's Night last night. There was bourbon, lots of bourbon and cigars. Lots of cigars. I had a Graycliff Turbo Reserva and finished with a small Diesel. Good time.

    The Pipe Stand - Smokers Only

    It's good folks are still keeping it alive. I first smoked a pipe during college then got away from it. Picked it back up about 5 years ago. There aren't a whole lot of pipe smokers these days. It's not an instant gratification smoke, more of a ritual.

    So Sad When Good Cables...........................

    In my experience with BT, it's not distance but rather walls that's the biggest culprit for loss of signal. Is there any way for you to moderately increase distance with say an 8' or 10' cable and mount the BT receiver in such a way to limit how many walls the signal has to pass through? Also...

    Can an Amplifier make this huge difference in sound?

    Well, a good quality Seiko watch tells time as accurately or better than a Rolex so not always. Sure, a $5K power cord looks like a fire hose but it's not exponentially better than a std cord.

    Actual Treble & Bass "Knobs" on the Stereo

    I use them but rarely pass one click up or down Mostly when I have the loudness button depressed which boosts bass and mids. I'll cut back on bass or defeat loudness it I turn it up. I like a thick sound, esp at lower volumes.

    Can an Amplifier make this huge difference in sound?

    Yamaha calls their sound, Natural Sound." It does sound thin compared to thicker sounding amps. If that's your thing then yes, speakers will sound better with amo that is neutral vs bass and mid biased.

    AK Retiree Club

    Retired 4 years ago at 61. It was right B4 COVID lockdown so I was rather isolated. Took SS at 62 and never looked back.

    Easy Come, Easy Go

    Not hard to do but you should know your options. Is your TV going to be the power source and streaming source? I'd hard wire the speakers because when walls and ceiling are open, it's easy. I would not suggesting the TV for a power and streaming source unless you must have the videos playing...
