How can you not have multichannel system
Ummm...when acts like the Stones and Radiohead introduce "surround sound" as part of their live shows, I'll invest in multichannel. But that will never happen. Sooo, my point is... 
Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps
Always thought Ernestine Anderson was amazing on a good system. Her "best of CD" w/several live recordings is very, very good. 
Christmas Jazz Anybody?
I know that Wynton came out with some Xmas tunes w/Mumbles a while back (early 90s)...might have been "Crescent City Christmas." I taped it off FM back in the day but never knew what the release was, but the tunes walk the fine line between tradit... 
TUBE HELP with 5AR4 Rectifier
I may be wrong, but aren't rectifier tubes out of the signal path, i.e. they do not amplify? If so, how would they make a difference in sound? 
Mono Block tube amp or Stereo Tube amplifier?
Macrojack, is this why Rush uses tubes? My point is that watts is watts, and tubes do just fine with any type of music : ) 
Where to put my Shakti stone?
Just what I needed for an afternoon laugh...an AG classic thread. 
Ear protection for concerts
IMO, one's hearing is too valuable not to invest in custom protection. Check out Westone plugs...they are affordable and well worth it. I own a pair due to hearing loss in my left ear and love them. BTW, they attenuate evenly and are comfortable. ... 
Wise audio aphorisms
If a tube fails when you're not home, does it make a sound?

Weights on a preamp
Geeky overkill. 
Tubes at Best Buy. Yes, it's true.
I've been the proud owner of the Sharper image unit since I heard it at an audiophile neighbor's house. It literally blew the doors off my VTL Wotans, and I've never looked back. It currently drives 8 pair of Bose 901s...sounds great! 
How do you perform a burn in on a tonearm cable?
Bake at 450 for 35-45 minutes should do the trick.

Marian McPhartland - A National Treasure
Ferrari, you must be a mind reader as I was thinking of posting a similar thread yesterday. She is simply phenomenal, and she and her show are a treasure that I think many audiophiles have enjoyed for years. (I started listening to her show in 6th... 
worse entertainer or performer of all time??
Great thread, but seriously... JLo a good actress? Ouch.
