What Chores do Audiophiles Hate?
Removing compost from the composting toilet. Dislike the chore but it's somewhat rewarding to take care of your own s..t.

Dreadhead, my good frind Mike saw the show in NJ on November 3'rd and loved it.Yeah, I agree fully with Roger waters and the political message but don't like to have one liners streamed in text trying to say how I should feel about something. Thos...

Speaker question for RMAF attendees
Sounds like Raidho but are you sure they were silver?

Esoteric MG-10 and MG-20 speakers
I agree with the above comments and can't knock them but be careful if you are weary about too much upper end detail. These speakers will give it to you and if your electronics are not up to it I suspect they will be on the bright side.I've heard ...
