the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile
JBL L-110 at Tech Hi Fi in 1979. conrad-johnson Premier One in 1982 solidified my passion for HEA. Returned to Tech Hi Fi in 1982 and came home with a pair of Ohm Walsh 2’s. FWIW the salesman would not sell me the speakers until I brought a parent... 
Does cover art of an album or recording influences your purchase?
No!  
Whats on your turntable tonight?
@noromance    I appreciate the interest. My best estimation is around 2500 albums when counting sealed/box sets and loose(no outer jacket). Not in any hurry to play all my sealed vinyl which consists of Tone Poet’s/Atlantic 45’s/5 Pink Floyd reiss...

Shirley Horn-The Main Ingredient(CD 1996) Prior to Diana Krall Ms. Horn had the best selling "pure" jazz female vocal recording of the 1990's. Sunday night vinyl is off to a majestic start.

The "Golden Age" of music reproduction is now not 25 years ago. Various components... Headphones/Loudspeakers(Standmounts)/All in One units have exceeded expectations of what was thought possible 25 years ago. Nobody has a "Crystal Ball" to predic... 
??? WHY WHY WHY ??? Class A vs Everything Else
@freediver    +1 There is no substitute for pure Class A. Biased based Class A is more of a sales ploy than performance based.  
??? WHY WHY WHY ??? Class A vs Everything Else
As an owner of an Esoteric A-03 Class A has many virtues but also some shortcomings. Dynamics/Headroom are minimized due to lower power and the relaxed sound of Class A. Transient Speed and Bass Slam can also be effected. Many Class A amps have an... 
Flatscreen between speakers
As Audiophiles or music lovers are goal for most is to eliminate acoustical issues in our listening room. Adding a TV screen is a self inflicted issue. Yes, many band-aid corrections could alleviate some issues but why put the elephant in the room... 
How large (or small) is the audiophile market?
