| This is the list of the best makers of audio equipment. Respond if you disagree The Harmon Kardon CD401 cassette deck was every bit as good as the Nakamichi. They only made it for one year, but it had Dolby B/C and HX Pro noise reduction, three heads, and you could bias the deck to match the tape as it had an adjustable bias... | |

| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo I think the speakers are terrific. I would love to hear them. All of the carping is from people rationalizing why they don’t need them - based mostly on "I can't afford them" which is really the reason they're whining. I’m especially taken by that... | |

We had five power outages last year due to lightning, including one lightning strike that blew up a transformer at the substation about two miles from my house. I have a whole house su... | |

| Does Age Matter? I'm 71. Bought my first CD player in 1984. Haven't used a turntable in 30+ years. All of my vinyl is stored in boxes. Could care less about LP's. Way too much work to keep them clean, setup the turntable, etc., etc. At this point I use a Bl... | |
