| Are High End Audio Products Unreliable? Never had a problem with anything but French-made CD players. May they rot in hell. | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? I've been a Saab loyalist for ages, but sadly, the brand, as we know, it is dead. So, I've moved to Land Rover. | |
| What credit cards do you use? I've had good luck with Chase cash rewards credit cards...converting points into cash. But: I never keep any balances, don't pay any fees. So, now I received a letter stating that in order for me to continue to enjoy the rewards programme, I need ... | |
| $500-$1000 to spend on a used CD player I am so tired of having people plug in the Oppo. It's not a bloody giant-killer. It's fine for what it is but for a decent dedicated player there are much better choices: Exposure, Naim, Talk, MF | |

| If I like St. Germain I'll like...... I second the Cinematic Orchestra. Good stuff for what it is! | |
| Scotch? No thanks. Whats the best Vodka.? I am a vodka fan: best bang for the buck...i.e. quality/price ratio belongs to Tanqueray vodka | |
| Musical Fidelity Tri Vista SACD I've been tempted many times to upgrade my MF CD-308 to the Tri Vista (...or to something from that (in)famous French company that seems to suffer from a similar severe case of bad customer service/not returning e-mails...) A good thing I didn't a... | |
| Best audiophile multichannel SACD player Esoteric is warm?More like accurate and border-line clinical. But: trust your ears only, and listen to as many as you can in your room/system |
