Is it idiotic to stack an amp and tuner directly on top of a CD player?
Gottasay, since you've got good gear AND experience with Salamander and Herbie's product, it seems like you already know the answer!;) 
The demise of the music CD inevitable?
"...CD will go bad in 20-25 years."This statement prompted me to check some of the very 1st CD's I bought, back in '84-'85.  I'll be honest, I've literally been reading about 'pinholes' and 'CD rot' for decades, I've never seen holes or rot, ever!... 
Any modern band that comes close to Mahavishnu Orchestra ?
I was also lucky to have been able to catch the Mahavishnu Orchestra in a small club the 1st time I saw them, unbelievable!  I saw them again in larger venues (2X) and while they always delivered, it never compared to that 1st nightclub show!  Whe... 
Any modern band that comes close to Mahavishnu Orchestra ?
I love Fusion!  Ever since the old days of listening to Hendrix/Cream/Traffic and the like releasing extended instrumental jams, Fusion seemed like the natural next step in electric instrumental music.  The thing is, while there are many, many mus... 
Audio Research LS15 vs. SP14
Someone mentioned having an LS15/PH3 combo and that they burned thru tubes at a rapid clip.  I had the same combo for years and never experienced this. 
Equipment Rack
Seems like an unanswerable question.  I will say that I got my used Billy Bags rack, that cost 4 digits new, for 3 digits.  So there's that.  I'll add that even though I truly heard an immediate (and unexpected) improvement in overall sound qualit... 
Remembering Phoebe Snow on Her Birthday July 17, 1950
One of the best posts I've ever read here, BRAVO!!! 
New Year, New Music
"If you haven’t already, you ought to drop a link to this stuff on that Jazz Aficionado crowd. Wake up those stiffs! :-) Just kidding. Some of ’em will dig it."Lol!!!  I hear ya!  Gotta say, while they (sometimes) post some great stuff, the overal... 
New Year, New Music
I've mentioned Sao Paulo Ska Jazz here and elsewhere before but never received any feedback.  Gottatellya, I think 'Gringo' is very good, but their self titled debut album is the better record so you might want to give it a shot also! 
New Year, New Music
Here's some Contemporary Electric Instrumental Music, some may call it Jazz Fusion, I just consider them to be smokin' musical experiences!;)Dean Brown - RolajafufuThe Funky Knuckles - New BirthOz Noy - Who Gives A Funk?Sao Paulo Ska Jazz - Gringo... 
Arcam FMJ 23/CD92 versus Resolution Audio CD50
I'm still very happy with FMJ CD23.  I remember a review where the writer said we were in the waning days of CD (10 yrs ago!) and that the CD23 was a fantastic 'endgame' CD player. While I understood what he meant, I've never considered it my 'las... 
What happened to the "club atmosphere" of Audiogon?
I think it reflects what's happened at Ebay.  In the beginning it was people selling used goods with some professionals thrown into the mix.  Now it seems like it's the opposite, primarily pros dominating the site.  It's gone to a site that felt m... 
Rory Gallagher Original Album Classics
'Sfunny....I went with a pal to see RG (he was a fan, I was just tagging along).  I went on to see him 2 more times, he was incredible!  BUT....I never got into his records.  I owned one or two but as you can see, they were totally unmemorable to ... 
Audiophile Club In South East Florida.
While I hope you guys have fun at the Coral Gables meet, I won't be able to make it.  Coral gables is a solid 2 1/2 hour ride from me.  The reason I mention the Wellington/Royal Palm Beach idea is 'cause that's a 5-10 minute ride!
