| Thiel Owners Wow, what an impressive thread....I just stopped in because I will always be a huge Thiel fan. Here's my story.My first pair were 1.2's. I loved them for a couple years and couldn't wait for my income to improve until I could upgrade. Then I bo... | |

| What is the most memorable concert that you had attended so far? Well, just to recall a few:Jesse Winchester at a broken down movie theater in Denver with an audience of about a dozen;Blues Image (my favorite under-appreciated band), opening for Three Dog Night in Phoenix;The Buddy Rich Big Band, Gunnison, Colo... | |
| The current best band in the world? Do yourself a favor and get a ticket to see the Mark O’Connor Family Band. The band hasn’t been around as long as, say, Wilco, but Mark has been a fiddle and guitar virtuoso for several decades. I see lots of concerts, but this band left me open... | |
| Have you moved from tubed amplification to solid state amplification... Why? After I replaced my power tubes a few times, several hundred dollars each time, I realized I was only listening when I had a couple hours or more to listen. If I only had a half hour, I just wouldn’t warm up the tube rig. Now that my amp is soli... | |

| Why is modern pop music today so terrible? Can't stand most music that sells millions of copies ( or downloads or whatever) in any genre these days. Can't stand the Grammy's or CMA Awards either. But I couldn't stand "Yummy, yummy, yummy, I've got love in my tummy" or "Bang Shang a Lang"... | |
