5:50 IF you buy better quality components,  you won't need these damn tweaks I'm reminded of the WH spokes person who when questioned about the high gas price effects on  poor people who said  they need to buy an electric car. But even so,I ha... 
Great Rock Bassists your Top 10.Rock not Jazz. But Hey what about Reggae
WOW!!! Not one mention of John Paul Jones (led Zeppelin) Not necessarily surprising because he was flanked by Bonham, Page & Plant who were the superstars. I came to the understanding that JPJ must be the most under rated bass player of all ti...

Favorite religious song @larsman Pretty much any death metal song will do for me.... @artemus_5 A very interesting thread which goes a long way towards verifying my idea that there is no such thing as a non religious person. @larsman ... 
OCD audio guy naming shady Audiogon dealers by name
Lamp cord from GHT is of the highest pedigree from the best mfg. It's also color coordinated  
180g new vs. NM used
It's a toss up Imo. New is safe. And the remaster may be better. It depends on the album and if the used one is correctly graded.. Likewise it depends on who mastered the new one    
Favorite religious song
A very interesting thread which goes a long way towards verifying my idea that there is no such thing as a non religious person. I had this belief while I was an atheist many years back and still believe it as a Christian BTW  Larnelle & Sand... 
I wrote/mailed tax checks today...
Look for the tax enforcement to get even more harsh...but for who? After having a "use tax" levied on my purchase of a used amp I bought from a private individual from Canada, I see things getting far worse for the typical citizen. I remember yea...

Many are totally unaware of this song and its message. After Forever - Black Sabbath ( Master of Reality) "After Forever"   Have you ever thought about your soul - can it be saved? Or perhaps you think that when you're dead you just stay in yo... 
Forgotten heavy bands from late 60's to early 70's
@dayglow  Ok so you are the final arbiter of truth. Got it  
Forgotten heavy bands from late 60's to early 70's
@dayglow I’ve listened to them since they first came on the scene in the mid - late 60’s and never have heard about them being polarizing. And I certainly disagree with you about their talent. I’ve played in enough 3 piece bands to know that you... 
Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum?
Friends, we are getting far afield from the original post which was about people who's seeming agenda is to be disruptive rather than helpful to the group. Yes, individual rights are important. We should be allowed to criticize. But criticism of s... 
Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum?
Free speech!!!!!????? Really? I didn't see anyone stand up for Millercarbon's "free speech"! Some have pointed out his poor manners. Yet these deniers have  some of the worst  manners.  They mock, ridicule and implicate that those who HAVE heard t... 
Question Regarding New Item Damaged in Shipping
A new item which is damaged should be replaced by the seller working through the mfg. They should also provide return shipping because this was NOT your fault. You contracted for a new item at an agreed price. You should never have to pay more for... 
Just a share
Nice. Lots of memories there and apparently free. I wonder how much an audiophile would pay for it If it were bound as a nice coffee table book? Thanks for posting this, Now  bookmarked for future reference  
Any Improvement Possible for B&O-Hsu-Paradigm-Apple System?
I agree that the room has a lot of hard surfaces which cause mid range glare and screechy highs. However streaming from the I pad leaves a lot of room for improvement. The room issues can be dealt with by strategically  moving the system  so it do...
