Very interesting radio shack vs. audioquest
Read the thread from 4-20 -10, "cheap interconnects from Hong Kong". Interesting. 
I had no idea
Hazard mentioned Elvin Bishop. I'll have to dig out "Rock My Soul" and give 'er a spin... 
Life Death Love and Freedom : John Mellencamp
Read the thread, had to get the lp. Awaiting delivery. It's great to learn of excellent sounding lp's on this site. I'm not a big fan of JM, but if it sounds good, I'll surely listen. Thanks all. 
How does the Cambridge Azur 840C sound compared
In regards to the first response, I once returned a Sony XM radio to have the fan looked at because it started to make a terrible noise that could be heard from three rooms away. Sony "bench tested" it against another radio, then sent it back in t... 
What is your favorite guitar solo of all time?
Was going to comment, but after reading the above choices, I find I have no favorite. The ones above just scratch the surface. All great! 
Being grateful for what we have
I used to search for the next best thing and was very pleased with the results. Now the changes yield smaller improvements, and the cost increases. I'm done improving the electronics. I'm concentrating on the music now. 
Hats off to Seasick Steve
Ever been to Oshkosh? Used to live there. While attending college it was party time, much of the time! Fun place. 
Quick poll How long have you been in this hobby?
My memory is a little foggy on the exact time, but it was in the early 70's...maybe 1970...about the same time I was introduced to mary jane...i think... 
Replacing 12AX7 to 5751 for pre-amp
Try a set of Full Music 12AX7's. I find them better than the Sylvania black plate trip micas. Sold the sylvanias. 
B&W Nautilus 802 or Wilson Audio Witt 1?
Emdaudio, I bought the Witts here on A'gon a little over 3 years ago. Before I bought them I had a pair of Meadowlark Audio Osprey speakers that I liked very much, but found them lacking in the bottom end, so I bought a sub. I then thought I shoul... 
B&W Nautilus 802 or Wilson Audio Witt 1?
Be nice now! I own a set of Witts and like them very much. 
Comedy Albums
2nd. the Firesign Theatre. Great memories from the 70's. 
B&W Nautilus 802 or Wilson Audio Witt 1?
I own the Witt 1's and have heard the 802's in a totally different system. I would go with the 802's, but that's just my opinion. What do I know? Best of luck in your choice. 
What time do you wear?
I don't carry/need to carry a timepiece anymore. There are enough out there where one only needs to look around a bit to find it. I'm always early. 
Where does your user name come from?
One of my friends used to spurt out "a buck-two-eighty-five and some change" when talking about the cost of anything. It wouldn't all fit so I abbreviated it a tad. It was either this or "chowderhead", after our first cat, now long deceased. Chowd...
