Oh, the frustrations of the speaker search
"06-27-13: Rlwainwright>> If you only have a very limited budget you should consider spending most of it on a really good amp and get whatever speaker you can with what is left. <<Wow, I doubt I have ever read a worse piece of advice e... 
Best Metal Vinyl Album
I could, at my advanced age, still enjoy metal if it weren't for one thing. The vocals. How it morphed from the haunting, melodic, wailing of the likes of Ozzie to the demonic, hideous rasps of current metal bands, I'll never know. 
Pink Floyd on Pandora
This is a two way street. Some might suggest that artists (at least the ones that are relatively unknown or extremely ambitious) should be paying Pandora, and not the other way around. I own all of Joe Bonnamassa's CDs. I might not have heard him ... 
Jean-Luc Ponty
This is precisely why I peruse "Music" threads here. It sends me running to parts of my collection that have sat idle far too long. When one can allow music of this quality to slowly migrate to the nether regions of the repertoire, the collection ...

Why does an audiophile grade power cord matter?
05-27-13: Nonoise"If you can't hear a difference, you're either deficient in hearing acuity or your system isn't revealing enough or you don't feel it's worth it and refuse to come clean even though you do hear a difference (which seems to be the ... 
Why do Harbeth speakers have such a cult following
Exactly how does a real violin or a real piano sound? I hear similar comments often when discussing hi fi gear (hell, I've made them myself) as if there is some static reference sound emitted from live musical instruments. I have a friend who has ... 
'Holographic Sound Stage?'
I get perfectly holographic sound stage from my meager 6K, two channel system. Well, that and the concoctions rendered from my liquor cabinet! :) 
Bloodline-"Bloodline" Smokin' Joe Bonamassa
Just before logging on, I listened to (and watched) Joe Banamassa at The Royal Albert Hall DVD. You won't see many shows better than this one!

Monitor speaker that will stop the Quest?
I'm thinking a pair of Vivid B1s or 1.5s might be one worth holding on to. 
Please help me understand
I understand what you're saying Hakuchosan. One piece of 10 foot, 12 gauge copper (Cu) wire sounds "warm", yet another piece of 10 foot, 12 gauge copper (Cu) wire sounds "harsh". Go figure. And, thank you guys for your replies to my question. 
Ungrounded power cord: Will I die?
The results of this type of accident are not pretty. I witnessed such an event when I threw the hair dryer into the bath tub with my X-WIFE. I'm not stupid though, I unplugged all my audio gear and my flat screen before I did it. 
Preamp Noob has a question
Please forgive my ignorance Mechans, but what are 6SN7s? Are those the tubes? I've never owned tube gear before. How often do tubes need replacing, and are they easy to obtain?
