how many have a WAF?
I am 41 and will have been married for 17 years in 2 weeks. My wife and I do most everything together and enjoy each others company and hobbies. We have no children, just the 2 dogs, and we spoil each other rotten. We respect each other and don't ... 
New stuff from spain selling at less then used
Maybe it's because when it arrives, it's an empty crate. Did I misread it or did it say amp actually included, as this is just about the weight of the crate.

I think it's a little interresting how his Levinson 336, for some reason, only weighs 45 lbs. 
How grills affect?
Different Manufactures recommend differently. VMPS actually recommends removing the grills for critical listening. I don't know about you, but to me, all listening is critical. I have no children so I usually always leave the grills off. Besides, ... 
Who R U?
Karl you are absolutely correct. I will be open minded about this, pick up the CD and check it out. 
Who R U?
Tim, If I catch heat for the rap remark, so be it. I can brush it off. I'm sorry, but IMHO it still is not music. That's why we say to each his own, and as audiophiles, we all have different equipment. I would love to hear some of what your favori...

Best Blues Rock recommendations?
You might also want to check out Keb Mo. My favorite is "The Door" but his music may be a little too much on the blues side for you. Another one might be the Cate Brothers.Brian 
Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
I drive a 1999 Chevy Z71 pickup and my wife drives a 2002 Pontiac Bonneville. Our weekend car if I can ever get it finished is a 65 VW Bug that I am doing a complete rebuild (restoration) on. Not all stock, of course. Lowered, disc brakes, regeare...

A'gon transactions: When is it legit to quit?
So sorry to hear, but if he supposedly sent a check on 3/22 and you still haven’t received it, I seriously doubt it was ever sent. I know the mail is slow, as I am still waiting on something to arrive that I shipped to PR almost 2 weeks ago, but ... 
Serious scare over hearing loss
Scott,I appreciate your post very much and would like to thank you for it. I think it raises a concern that we all need to take heed too regardless of age. I am very sorry to hear of your experience but I am glad that it turned out ok. As I am in ...

Used 750-1000 CD Player Advise
Thank you all, I appreciate all the help and suggestions. How would you compare the Theta Miles, Muse Model 9, SF CD1 and the AR CD-1. These are the choices I am now considering due to budget. I have read so many discussions in the forums now I th... 
Used 750-1000 CD Player Advise
Thanks all for the input. Would the gain in sound quality be worth increasing my budget to $1250 or so.
