Yes, I do too, but apparently the Hi-Fi fad was just that, a fad. A long running one, no doubt, and it still hangs on, but it's not everywhere like it used to be in the 1970s and 1980s. That trend of store closings has been helped along by those who audition equipment at a Brick & Mortar shop, then brag here on the Asylum that they've gone home and ordered the same equipment on line, to save money. Thankfully there's not too many of that type, or at least they have the good sense not to come here and brag about their evil ways.

I was just acting curmudgeonly regarding the acronyms, at least in this case. But I do find it somewhat irksome when an apparently serious post is full of them, as if the poster was sending a text to a friend.
