Equipment Recommendations - The Home For New System and Upgrade Advice

I think the return on investment on things like isolation, dampers and the such goes hand in hand with the gear and where it falls on the "good gear" spectrum, meaning, in my opinion, gear that sits more at the entry level part of the spectrum will probably show more of an impact to the upgrade of choice, while gear at the higher end of the spectrum may show some benefit, but I think it has a good chance of falling into the placebo effect and or aesthetics as you mentioned ;)

It also depends massively on your environment and where I’d agree with @kvetcha is that in an environment where isolation is necessary I still don’t really see an argument to adding it to solid state amplifiers. Uniformity and symmetry apart. Particularly when compared with sources, speakers and tube gear.

Yes soliciting and solicitation would definitely be words used for those as offences. A solicitor is a type of lawyer though here and in most of the non American common law jurisdictions.

I knew that, but thanks for explaining the difference between a Solicitor and a Barrister. I learned something.

Also that means Barristers are the ones that have to own a wig to appear in court, right?

Yes! Most don’t use wigs anymore, it’s optional in most courts and they’re barred in children’s/family courts. They only really use them in contentious criminal proceedings in an attempt to give an air of anonymity.

We do all wear them for our call to the bar. There is a picture of me graduating in a hired wig in existence…

So you wouldn’t hire a bike or a motorcycle on holiday?

Socks totally.

Haven’t, don’t see why I would in the future, but different. I can sanitize a seat with things I’d rather not touch my skin and thus don’t have to worry about fungus and lice.(not to mention clothes barrier)

Are there different styles of powdered wigs you can choose? Like could you have chosen something a bit floppier? Or a bit flirtier is that acceptable? Or are the wigs all uniform?

There are different types of wigs but that’s the only one I could wear as a junior counsel being called to the bar. I think there are more ornate wigs if you take silk and become senior counsel and for the various different levels of the judiciary.
