I mean I wasn't even planning on installing it. Was just gunna hang it on a big chain around my neck like Flava Flav.
Occasionally lick it.

Just spent my $100 gift certificate at The Music Room for having my room selected in their contest. Will replace my trusty (dangerous) mascara brush. ST-50 Stylus cleaner - DS Audio｜Creating the future of analog music

I use the same one. Good choice.

How is this different from an onzow?

Social science was more my thing, so I’m going to paraphrase what I was told by a print reviewer when we were chatting at a meet up. “The material inside is different and doesn’t adhere to the stylus, so you don’t get the gunk build up.”

JBL is still in good standing, but yeah let's hope for the best.
Change is inevitable.

Roon in good standing too

That's true

Yup, and I wouldn’t own an Oznow even if it was free. I’ve seen too many pictures. Scary pictures.

I’ve been using an onzow with no problems (knock on wood) for like seven years. When this one’s time is up, I may move on. I hear the stories, but I wonder how many people are overusing it and find it hard to believe that people haven’t damaged their stylii with blu tac or a magic eraser. The only reason I moved to the onzow was because I was getting a gunk build up from the magic eraser.

 

[Mather]

I use Blu Tac, if it's good enough for Soundsmith it's good enough for me.

I started using it on your recommendation a couple years ago. Works great! I think you might have been the one who recommended putting it on the top of your weight. Makes it easy.

I don't put it on my weight so that wasn't me but I've been using Tac for several years now, works great.

I wonder if Qobuz would ever build out functionality to manage local files with Qobuz Connect as the main interface. A Roon competitor.

I have used a magic eraser and it got the job done.

Well, have I told you about the latest and greatest… 24k gold tac. No true audiophile would be caught dead dropping their precious stylii in anything less than the finest Peruvian gold gooey stuff encased in a lovely Kobi leather case that comes to you in a bespoke Maltan mahogany crate.

They would have to do a better job in personal curation, which they don’t really seem to want to do, to compete with Roon though.

The sale of DSD would make sense to go deeper into the local file management.

Hi my name is Mather and I just bought a 24 carat gold wall outlet.

The $4k Argento Audio outlet power conditioner?

The $4k Argento Audio outlet power conditioner?

No despite my catchy click bait post its a $95 Furutech outlet. So it didn't exactly break the bank.

 

[Joe Mac]

Neither.

American outlets have seen fhings, and they’re not ok.

I was hoping you're really gone overboard. It's totally insane, but I'm still curious to try it after positive reviews from the few people in DFW that have them.
