Any Alice Cooper fans?
I was always a fan of the Billion Dollar Babies album. Wagner and Hunter play on there covering for Glenn Buxton who was a drugged out mess and couldn't be depended upon. 
Harbeth 40.1 vs spendor sp100r2
Alan Shaw of Harbeth has the same dislike of tube amps. A lot of Harbeth owners run tube including myself with great results. 
Which Integrated amps should I audition?
Anyone upgrade (or change) from a Cronus Magnum with KT90's to KT120's? Wondering your impressions. 
Who needs drugs when you've got music?
I didn't mean to be a downer and i apologive for the post. I thought I'd let anyone out there with college aged kids know that ecstasy has the potential to be a game changer. The worst thing about it is that the kids dont think its bad. I've had k... 
Who needs drugs when you've got music?
My step son overdosed on ecstasy. It might not have been an OD per se. He was a senior at SUNY Cortland as a math major. He and some school friends decided to go to a concert in Chicago during some time off at school. It was Halloween. They were d... 
Anything better than 1.7 Maggies
"LOse Rotel"As a previous owner I couldn't agree more. 
Which N AD?? or maybe Marantz
I used to own the 317 and I loved that integrated big time. I've never heard a Marantz. The 317 with B&W DM602's was a dream with rock music. I passed the 317 off to my son who loves it as much as I did. 
Lay away purchase
If you don't mind the wait then what's the worry? It's not like you're going to send it to him until you're paid. I would promise to hold onto it boxed and in a safe place. If something happens to it refund the money. If you're seeing money go int... 
How do you dress your cables?
You should never coil a power cord. Not when in use anyway. 
Wish List of LPs to be re-released
Boxcar Willie? I'm sure a cable channel will release it on a infomercial. Find the channel airing reruns of Hee Haw. 
SF EXTREMA vs SF Cremona M
What is it about the Extrema that makes you so eager to trade them? 
Brand Longevity
Zd. I loved the Ayre but it wasn't enough power for my Harbeth C7es3's. I was amazed at the detail I was hearing compared to my Rogue Cronus Magnum. Don't get me wrong, I love my Rogue and will keep it. However, the non fatiguing and detailed soun... 
Anyone ever hear NTT Audio Lab speakers
New retail is $125k. What do you think the person actually paid new for them? Looking at the pictures I would guess 400 lbs each but 1200? That's heavier than my next door neighbor. 
Brand Longevity
I would think as a business owner part of your job would be to choose and mold a successor. 
The Best Live album
This is the most difficult question I've ever seen in this forum. I can't give my definitive answer but I would have to say Neil Young. Just not sure which one. Some of the players Neil surrounds himself with are the same guys he's surrounded hims...
