Best Audio Store Name?
Bought speakers in lower manhattan. The store name is "In Lving Stereo". Pretty cool name, I think. 
Is Stereophile seeking a new reader demographic?
If I want to read about political events and topics, I will buy Time or Newsweek, not Stereophile. Sure the two can exist in a magazine, but so can porn or some other subject that is just not what most of us signed up for. IMO, the space that is e...

Viridian, you can get all that on Audiogon. :>) 
Is Stereophile seeking a new reader demographic?
The magazine has become a pamphlet. If it gets any thinner, I will be able to use it as a tissue. I also agree that I don't care to hear about the political opinions and convictions of any Stereophile writers. I am still a subscriber for more than...

Stereophile should be concerned about keeping their current demographic. 
How can a 40 watt amp outshine a 140 watt amp
Mechans I don't believe that the hobby is unbelievable. Snake oil is eventually exposed as such, but for the majority of us, there are real differences. IMO, Each individual must trust their own conclusions drawn upon their listening/hearing exper... 
I Was at a Funeral of An Audiophile...
Let's face it, the deceased was not an audiophile, he thought he was because someone sold him some midfi gear and made him believe so, or maybe it was his family that decided he was an audiophile. Damn, it's too bad that the poster was at the fune...

Anyone compared 6922 Sovtek & Electro-Harmonix
I am presently using JJ E88C/6922's in my Audio Research preamp and find them to be very good. Of course my first choice would have been Amperex or Siemens, but I just couldn't afford to spend over $1,000 for 8 tubes.http://thetubestore.com/teslae... 
HDMI Cable
After trying some moderate and high priced ones, the best I have found and fairly priced is made by Supra right here on Audiogon. 
I Was at a Funeral of An Audiophile...
Yeah! being an audiophile is a great way to measure a life lived, such an important part of life and death!! 
Have you seen Eric Clapton at his best?
Actually, he was at his best when he was at his worst! Think he can still pull of that guitar solo from Crossroads. It was the Coca Cola, if you know what I mean. 
You know you're an audiophile if--
You own the Bose perfect wave radio/cd combination. 
Benfits of upgraded connectors
On the other side of the coin, there are those that will swear that nothing beats bare wire connections. LOL 
Benfits of upgraded connectors
A friend of mine just upgraded. He has $500 spades on his $200 cables and it changed everything. His CD's now sound like vinyl and the sound stage is in the other room out into the garage. BTW, he is also using the cable elevators, so that may pla...
