so what do you do when listening?
Fall asleep was probably meant to be funny (and it is) but I think something more is going on. I do just listen and preferably with my eyes closed. I think my best listening sessions feel almost like sleep, but I know I am still listening. Maybe i...

Bruce at The Super Bowl....
OK, now everyone has to choose. All card-carrying audiophiles must register one way or the other and will be monitored for listening out of registration.I do agree with Audiofeil about apples and oranges. I think of Dylan as more of a poet/musicia... 
Linn LP-12 still competitive with the very best?
I have not thrown away my LP-12. I have even inherited another one and optimized the original. It works well, I get to play my vinyl, I don't think too much about it. Am I wow'ed by the new designs? Yes! Am I going to spend as much as buying a new... 
Floorstanders designed to be against the wall?
The classic Snell A's have down-firing wall-coupled woofers. 
Anyone here using vintage speakers?
Snell. When I lost my Apogee Duetta Sigs, I needed something affordable. I found a pair of Snell AII's for $600 here on Audiogon and then a pair of original E's for $100. The AII's had been rebuilt recently, but needed a tweeter replaced. Millerso... 
Bruce at The Super Bowl....
I will apologize for the sarcasm. Everybody is different from everybody else and even the same person is different from who they used to be (at least creatively). I mostly appreciate the differences, but I also understand people being influenced b... 
Bruce at The Super Bowl....
Do you know how long I have been hearing that Bruce Springsteen is not Bob Dylan? Almost as long as some people have been saying that Bob Dylan is not Bob Dylan. And Cisco Houston is not Woody Guthrie (at least they were friends so people didn't p... 
GTT Audio & Video Absolute Power Cord Mk II
I recently bought 2. It is my first foray into the world of power cords as most of my equipment is older but I have used them to good effect on my CDP and pre-amp. They replace stock, so not much of an ultimate comparison. They work well (well mad... 
Surprising Backing Bands
Yes, I like The Band, but the most revolutionary back-up for Dylan was in '65 with Mike Bloomfield and Al Kooper. I absolutely love Booker T and the MG's so I just checked out the video on YouTube with Neil Young. Thanks! 
What time do you wear?
My Omega Seamaster Automatic is from the late 50's. I remember the family getting together to buy this one for my Dad's birthday back then. When I noticed he wasn't wearing it any more, I asked about it. He said it was too much trouble now, so he ... 
Difference between B&K ex-442 & Sonata ex-442?
It was some time ago, but I remember when I bought my EX-442, the dealer explained that B&K were just beginning to name the series "Sonata" so that the pre-amp was the Sonata MC-101 and the amp was being re-named the Sonata EX-442, but that it... 
Best and Worst Rock Concert Moments
I went along with some friends that were driving up to Monterey Pop Festival in '67. We were all broke, so no chance to actually buy tickets. After hanging out on the grounds and listening in at the festival, the guy with the van suggested spendin... 
Vintage Snell Ci Loudspeakers, Replace or Rebuild
Bill LeGall at Millersound did a great job with my original "E's".
