| What other hobby... Motorcycles, Sports Cars, and Sea Doo's were my passion. Plus! Listening to music, not equipment. | |
| ... Should I be concerned? Are you seriously considering replacing parts without simply turning the volume down and listening? If you rears are that bad, buy some Bose speakers and a guitar amp.Geez! | |
| D'agostino amplifiers: where's the beef? Although you say you would rather have a Krell and a Boxter, most of these buyers have several cars far more expensive than Boxters. | |
| Margin on speaker sales by high end dealer No, after the dealer pays $5000 for a $10000 speaker, he has to pay the sales person, the rent/mortgage, insurance, taxes etc. But the mark up is 50% of the retail price, minus shipping costs, which are sometimesy the reps commission. The B&W... | |

Since I bi-amp, I use a separate amp AND and preamp for the bass. With a double pole, double throw swit... | |
| Sam here.l realize now why so many people think my ideas are crazy? Make certain you cut your hair so that it resonates at the frequency in the middle of the range of your favorite instrument. | |
| Replacing driver screws with brass screws Just make certain you use electrically directional screws. | |
| ~$15K floorstanders: opinions sought What are you asking this? Use your ears, not our highly biased opinions. | |
| Honest question about cartridge vs. turntable performance. Calculate how much your phono stage, head amp stage, arm, table, isolasters, and cartridge, etc. cost. When you spend that on a CD player, your opinion matters. For a good comparison, check our Sheffield's D to D LP's and the CD's of the recordi... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados I copied your list and will look for some of them. Thanks | |
