Audiophile demographics?
keithsax:  Did the transgenders you mention change to girlish people to guyish?  If so, was it to be accepted as audiophiles>  TeeHee from a very guyish dude. 
Audiophile demographics?
Aha!  Some interesting responses, and prejudices, are afoot.  Has anyone thought that guys start being able to afford toys at an earlier age, possibly because we can earn more money through better paying summer jobs than girls, or at least could w... 
Ar ethe current LP's available for $25 or so as goos as the old ones.
Actually, I am not asking about rare collectables. Audio Advisors in WPB, FL has $1500 to $2500 newly issued LP's for their "modest" $25000 turntable. My question refers to this setup.  Do they really sound great, or are they simply listening room...

Theo714:  Thank you!  I had hoped to find that there are female audiophiles.Girly music?  Well0 I am prejudices but try to improve my outlook, deaspite being somewhat allergic to females.  I am happy to discover an actual lady audiophile.

Yes, a fair price is what people will pay, but do the new $1500-2500 LP's definately sound better?  Also, I have been thinking about selling my LP's, but only after I listen and rate each.  The link shows me it is possible and I really took care o... 
Where are the cheap home streamers?
austinstereo:  Thanks for the reply and link!  How many current recordings are available in Hi Res?  Obviously, only master tapes of old eight track studio recordings might be able to benefit from Hi Res reproduction and transmission, or maybe cur... 
Amplifier suggestions please
Get a huge power supply, i.e a heavy amp. Seriously.  My old Audire 125 wpc amp has a 500 watt tranny, 4 26,000 mf filter caps, and 6 outputs per channel.  Better Audires use many more ouputs. In comparison, a really good Bryston 200wpc amp of the... 
Too terminate or not
Do it yourself, but use car battery conductive grease. 
Are Shakti Stones effective?
Whoops!  Spell check got me again. 
Are Shakti Stones effective?
These stones work best on a Cd player that uses only green magic marker on the edges of the CD's.  However, they are good for throwing at Barry Manalow CD's and LP's.  
Audiophile AC Outlets
As a ex- summer electrician, I can tell you the simplest thing to do is to use any 110v outlet device, but remove the push in wires and bend them to tighten them with onto the device with the screws. If you have aluminum wiring (Mostly in houses b... 
Audiophile demographics?
Most college girls do not need a great stereo to hook up.  Many did not have the income from summer jobs to purchase one.  Who wants to go to a female's house to listen to girley music? 
Where are the cheap home streamers?
BTW, I am also looking for an relatively inexpensive streamer and hope to keep reading here until I get one.  I head one for $500 at AudiioAdvisors  in West Palm Beach, but did not buy it for two reasons: It was more than I wanted to spend for som... 
Where are the cheap home streamers?
This is not a rhetorical question.. I really want to know.  If you think your streamer should sound better than a CD, where do you think the Streamer got its music.  Most of what we listen to is from old CD's and LP's, which are the source for the... 
Preamp recommendation
I would certainly recommend my pre-amps, except for one detail:  I have only ever seen 4 for sale, ever, and I bought two and sold one of those. The other one was on a Canadian site.  So it does not matter.  Good Luck.  I recommend you listen and ...
