State of the Hi Fi scene..

Diy audio site with BOSE ads on the top and side bar

I guess you mean Bose on this diyAudio, which is a good thing for
the forum owner and others who benefit from being here.

I am wondering if anyone here had the chance to test Bose Solo 15.
Looks like a very well thought out system and practical which is
very important. This is the first time I wish I had a Bose product.

What HiFi rates it as

"Sounds better than the average flatscreen."

If it didn't, why buy it?

If you become a forum sponsor you can opt out from all advertising at your discretion, otherwise someone has to pay for it.

At least Bose products actually do something, as opposed to tweako **** like Burson discrete opamps that simply make your existing gear perform worse.

Click that ad. It's good for the forum (I assume that's how it works)

I disable my adblocker for this site, a few are of interest and they aren't obnoxious.

...keep your comments in your back pocket.

Ditto. I have ad blocker turned off for this site. And many of the ads are interesting, I do a lot of window shopping there.

While I understand the Bose beef, at least it's audio.

I've never bought anything from any internet ad, ever.

Mainly because back when I started out using the internet the ads were all spyware or linked to bad websites which infected your browser and turned your computer into a spambot.

I've donated to diyaudio.com though.

I have had some good ones come up like chipamp.com at the time I was more interested in discrete circuits but i eventually bought some boards from there. now it seems like some random places i was shopping come up.

The worst is when stuff i bought for Christmas pops up in ads in my browser.

Kinda ruins the surprise if my family sees it.

I use Flashpeak Slimbrowser and get no ads at all. Only disadvantage is some security certificate issues pop ups which you have to allow. I prefer doing this multiple times than the ads, like free sluts...rubbish.

Maybe I haven't either.

I also avoid Amazon, don't like their business practices.

And Google...........
etc etc

Guess I'm quite the curmudgeon in my old age. But please do be careful how you spend your $. That's probably more important than.... ummmm.... oops, nevermind.

Firefox with adblocker and popup controller works for me.
