Your ONE all time favorite love song?
'To Sir With Love', by Lulu. This song moves me more than any other song I've known. It's perfect:) 
Is it just me?
I began to weep spontaneously a few years ago when I heard The Youngbloods 'Get Together' after not hearing it for many years. It was on my son's low-fi radio. Nothing to do with the gear, just circumstance. 
Do you know why
I remember back in the vinyl heydays (late 60's-late 70's), two issues came up regarding this issue. Records were getting thinner and thinner until the complaints reversed that trend. Then there was the recycled vinyl problem which caused pitting ... 
Am I an Audiophile?
Who's ever learned anything the easy way. 
Am I an Audiophile?
No. I have not done that. However, there are things I've done that I'm ashamed to admit to even you guys,(I have destroyed equipment). But even though, that was in the early days. Many moons have passed. See, I'm still not over it. It's all still ...

Serendipity. 
How Do You Calculate Watts Per Channel?

Subbing a 8 amp fuse in for a 1amp fuse in PS/Dac
The only place I would risk it is in the amp. Speaker fuses especially. The damage is done by the time it blows anyway, so I hear. I've not blown an amp fuse in 35 years and done lots of experiments. I would not mess with stuff further up the chai... 
Anthonyn Cordesman on Edward Snowden
Yes, and we're the refugees! 
Best Male Singers of the 20th Century
Yeah sure. Janis can't sing the blues. Just ask Jim Morrison. OOPS, too late. 
Am I an Audiophile?
The very word 'audiophile' is suggestive of apparatus. I love the gear, but only as much as it is able to represent what it's made for,...the music. Therein lies that very fine line which separates those who care more about the gear vs. those who ... 
Am I an Audiophile?
I've always resented being 'defined' as an audiophile. I would think my interest is more than something so narrowly defined. I love music and as it relates to me is as individual as anything else about me. If it wasn't for the music, I wouldn't ca... 
The Irrational But Efficacious CD Tweak
Is it okay to have multiple monikers on Audiogon? Just askin.
