Phase Linear
I acquired a 700 series II as one of the first steps I made into the higher end. Used the pre-amp side of a Marantz 1250 integrated amp, along with a pair of JBL's. From there I went to Meadowlark Audio Osprey speakers, and, you get the picture. I... 
Remember the year and first vynil you ever bought?
Bought countless 45's since the early 60's when the Beatles were the biggest, hottest, hippest thing to hit the airwaves. I didn't buy an lp until '71 when the Black Sabbath "Paranoid" release became available in the U.S. Had to Wiki that to get t...

Why does most new music suck?
I agree that there's plenty of drivel being produced, but now I'm listening to internet radio and I can't get enough. There's so much variety. Most of the bands/people I had never heard of before. There's plenty of good stuff out there. You just h... 
Can old equip work with today's technology
There are plenty of satellite radio stations to listen to. I listen to Sky FM which has a multitude of different music to try. I bought a cable that connects from the jack on my smart phone which connects to the AUX. on my preamp. Sky FM is free, ... 
Anthonyn Cordesman on Edward Snowden
I, for one, am enjoying this thread. I think it wouldn't hurt a bit to have a section for such (political, etc.) debate here on the 'Gon. If others are opposed, they don't have to look.

I bought the Cassandra Wilson "Blue Light 'til Dawn" cd and liked it so much I bought double lp.
