Who's Gone Topless?
I tend to be a little skeptical about some of these pixie dust sounding tweaks people come up with.  But that said, I had some money to burn so I purchased some audiophile grade power cords.  I fully expected to hear no improvement. That was my ex... 
Maggie owners (past, present, future) what do (did) you love and or dislike about them?
I had a pair of 1.7s that I loved.  I agree with jaytor that they could project an exaggerated image.  I think it was a Duke Ellington song in which the voice seemed to be coming from an enormous head.  I listen mostly to classical music so that e... 
GREAT MUSIC - SO POORLY RECORDED...
I agree with the original poster - it is disappointing to hear great music that is poorly recorded.  We spend huge amounts of money to hear music as close to live as possible.  The artists are performing to the best of their ability, but it's a sh...

Thank you for the list.  I have a discussion on another thread about speakers that are the best at reproducing strings, the violin being my favorite.  I bought a Joshua Bell CD and while I cannot complain about his playing, I just don't care for t... 
Jimmy Page, It's time to call your lawyers?
I'm having trouble feeling sorry for Jimmy Page and Led Zeppelin after listening to "Taurus" written by Randy California and Spirit.  It kind of ruined me for listening to "Stairway to Heaven".  I agree that many rock songs were reworked (copied) ... 
SELLERS encouraged to stop accepting Paypal!!
Kevinagurney,I feel for you.  I too had an issue with PayPal that ultimately was ruled in my favor.  I had proof that what the seller was saying was false.  He admitted it in an eBay e-mail (eBay owned PayPal at that time).  PayPal wouldn't look a...
