You don't know what you're talking about. The artists are very much aware but there is little they can do about it because record label contracts.

This wall of sound is garbage and needs to go away. The artists need to go on strike to get it sorted.

despite - and maybe - having been not the best person in the Wolrd, Spector's Wall of Sound wasn't that bad .

Spoiler:

I to hear the remixed version of this album. I recently listened to an interview with Johnny's wife and apparently, Spector has signed off on finally allowing the album to be remixed. In his contract with the band, they had to agree to never remixing the album. But apparently, his stance has softened on this clause. According to Linda, all of the band's tracks are still there and available on the tapes. So a true remix is possible. I really hope that this project comes out. She kept stressing that, 'Johnny's guitar is there'...as well all of the other guy's stuff too. So even though Spector had session guys redo essentially everything, he kept the band's original performances. As for the official version that was put out,...I view that as a Joey solo album..produced by Phil Spector. But a true remix would be incredible. I hope that it sounds like polished versions of these demos that we all love. Even if you don't dig 'End of the Century'. You have to admit that the songs were there. The songs were incredible. It is just that Spector, 'un-Ramones', a Ramones album.

This is better than what I had lined up.

May I please ask a question?
I know the Wacom Studio Pro (which I'd found time ago as a second hand) have a "Desktop feature" were it can be used as a secondary monitor, attached to another pc/device.
The center USB-C port can be used for that purpose:

Use the center Thunderbolt 3 port or the optional Wacom Link Plus adapter to connect your MobileStudio Pro to your computer.

(https://101.wacom.com/UserHelp/en/TOC/DTH-W1321.html)

Thunderbolt combines PCI Express (PCIe) and DisplayPort (DP) into two serial signals[9][10] and provides DC power via a single cable.
[...]
Thunderbolt 1 and 2 use the same connector as Mini DisplayPort (MDP), whereas Thunderbolt 3, 4, and 5 use the USB-C connector and support USB devices.
[...]
Thunderbolt controllers multiplex one or more individual data lanes from connected PCIe and DisplayPort devices for transmission via two duplex Thunderbolt lanes, then de-multiplex them for use by PCIe and DisplayPort devices on the other end

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderbolt_(interface))
I'd knew from the very first start that the Steam Deck (the 64gb, LCD batch ) does not have Thunderbolt output, it was explained very clear and very early: not an issue.
I guess I can't use a USB-C cable as this one: https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-...dp/B09J9BXFFD/ ; is the only chance a Wacom Link? And would it work for sure (as converting the signal?)? I mean, it doesn't seems to require mandatorily a Thunderbolt 3 input to work...
If you might know, I'd like to question it; as it wouldn't be essential as the device works fine, but having the choice to just plug it in and use as an external display sometimes it might lower the heat it does.
Do you might know other solutions?
Thanks in advance !

There are other cables, but usually the display port to usb-c are unidirectional, having the display port on the outer wayside.

Also, Wacom Link does not support multiple ports; it only supports MINI DP . Please note before purchasing that only the MINI DP to Display port is supported.

en.namu.wiki

For reference, Thunderbolt 1 and 2 interfaces use the same terminal as Mini DisplayPort. However, since Thunderbolt is a backward compatible type that includes Mini DisplayPort, Thunderbolt is compatible with Mini DisplayPort cables, but Thunderbolt cables with Mini DisplayPort terminals are not compatible. Unlike general cables, Thunderbolt cables contain a controller chip, so the data transfer function of the Thunderbolt interface is used only between devices that support Thunderbolt. Since Thunderbolt 3 uses a USB Type-C port, it is not compatible with Mini DisplayPort.

The fact that there is no Thundebolt from the Steam Deck it doesn't seems it might be a problem, as it's mentioned the Studio Pro supports Mini DP within the above description.
The Wacom Link support is mentioned from the 2019 Studio Pro devices (which I guess mine is earlier).
Imho I could be fine within a simplest solution, like usb-c, and perhaps just that cable previously linked in this post?
*pardon but I'm really mumbling now , so much tech's specs at once.

Last edit: ok, I'd mismatched Wacom Link Plus (for >2019 devices) within Wacom Link: https://www.amazon.com/Wacom-ACK4271.../dp/B06WGM6KDN
