Worst Rock Band Ever !!!!
I chuckle at some of the responses, as I remember, for some odd reason, one of the Lp's I bought in 1970 was Black Sabbath, "Paranoid". Can't listen to it today. I also have in my Lp collection many of the bands mentioned, plus more that should be... 
Buying used or sight unseen speakers a bad idea?
Hesson11 has a good point. See if you can call the seller to talk to him directly. I had one fellow call me just to pick my brain, to see where my head was at, before he made his decision to buy. He asked why I was using this item, and why I'm sel... 
Buying used or sight unseen speakers a bad idea?
I've purchased used speakers three times on this site. The first set was delivered freight across country and arrived without a problem. The second set I picked up, and they were just as described. The third set were shipped to me by a private cou... 
Are Disc Players Dead?
LP's are another story... 
Do you ever wonder?
Ever wonder how boring it would be if we all had the same tastes? We'd have nothing to complain about... 
Are Disc Players Dead?
It took me a lifetime to accumulate all of my vinyl, and many years to accumulate the CD's. I'm getting up there in age, and I'm not about to start monkeying around, trial and error, trying to find the best way to use a computer for listening plea... 
Do you ever wonder?
Depends on what you like. 
Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa-"Don't Explain"

What started you on your audiophile journey .
In my early childhood my folks had a Zenith console I used to play their 45's on. In my mid-teens I heard a set of JBL L100's a friend had powered by a Kenwood amp. Used to dream of Marantz separates. Joined the military in the 70's and thought I ... 
Obscure companies making excellent speakers?
Gershman Acoustics. Excellent reviews of the Sonograms I recently purchased. Eight inch driver goes down to 28hz! 
This site will be a happy waste of productivity :
When they misspelled "received" in the second paragraph I was thinking twice about continuing on...

Grinning from ear to ear! Audiogon should put a link on the homepage. 
How Long Ago Since You Cried Listening To Music?
Why would anyone make fun of somebody for crying? I don't understand. I guess if someone you loved dearly passed on and you cried, people would accept this as being OK. But if you were brought to tears while listening to music, your friends might ... 
Do you understand the words to the Mus U listen to
I moved from Wisconsin to Michigan around six years ago and I still have a hard time understanding the weatherman on the local news channel. Many people in this state talk so fast that they don't enunciate. I read the liner notes to get a handle ... 
How Long Ago Since You Cried Listening To Music?
Ever get a rush that starts as just a tingle, then increases, and envelopes your whole body until you can barely stand it? My first flight did that. Once I moved, the rush subsided. Since then, music has done it a few times. I've learned to sit st...
