Competent electronics tech in the Milwaukee area
If north Chicago-land counts as the Milwaukee area for you, absolutely go to Stereo Rehab. Casper is phenomenal. 
Bob Dylan - "Murder Most Foul"
I'm with roxy54 on this one, and I'm generally into this sort of vibe (compare contrast with Nick Cave's song Sun Forest). If Bob freestyled this, then its a miracle and a masterpiece. But if he wrote this down first...I guess I concur with one re... 
Bass at your ears? (Bass imaging)
This is "wobble bass", a techique that comes out of dubstep, where the volume of a bass tone is modified with the beat. Wikipedia has a good explanation.There are other songs on this album where James states specifically he was looking to create a... 
Does Stacking Wireless Speakers Sound Feasible?
A sound bar isn't a simple array. Generally they are either two clusters that are providing vanilla two channel stereo, or they are presenting the multi-channel mix, just all from in front of you. Some higher priced units angle the dispersion of t... 
Does Stacking Wireless Speakers Sound Feasible?
Back when Pioneer brought an Andrew Jones designed bookshelf speaker to market for around $130, there was some interesting discussion on some DIY sites about building vertical arrays of them configured horizontally. Not sure if anyone ever did it....

I love this question and I am excited to hear responses from members who have experience with this.We entertain 4-6 times a year. Nothing huge, 30-60 guests, but dance music and karaoke is always featured and appreciated.The main area of the house...

Imaging and the first violin(s)
Yes I have, especially with piano in either an orchestral arrangement or jazz trio, where location seems to fade between a hard lock and floating. I've non-chalantly attributed this to either an outcome of the final mixdown (maybe the engineer is ... 
ethernet from a power outlet
I used this in two locations for a desk VoIP phone and experienced major timeouts. Definitely would not use this solution for extending audio streaming. 
Take up drums at age 56?
I played for more than 30 years, sometimes in a band, mostly for my own pleasure. Of course, unhesitatingly, if you want to play I encourage you to do so.My only advice is to consider an electronic kit, and for one reason only, you can manage the ... 
Why not use a non-contact stylus on a turntable?
Speaking of Edison, it would have at least been cool if the technology had retained the cylinder as the topology instead of a flat disk. Constant linear tracking velocity and no flipping. 
HP or Dell for computer listening ?
Regarding reliability alone, in the last decade as an IT exec I have sourced and supported probably around 5k laptops, all either Dell or HP.I give Dell the edge for reliability and serviceability, especially right out of the box. An unnatural num... 
Audio Doctor goes to Axpona observations so far
We were also underwhelmed by the Vandersteens. Went back twice hoping it was just the track or where we were sitting. Last year I believe there was a model 5A with an all Acoustic Research front end that we really enjoyed. This year's room was a l...
