| What do/did you do for a living? Aeronautical engineer working on aero-engines for over 40 years until I retired early in 2012. My love of audio got its real start in college, when one of my roommates brought his Quad ESLs to our shared apartment in London. As he was an electrica... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Prokofiev Piano Concertos 1, 2 and 4, Ashkenazy/LSO/Previn, from the Decca boxed set of complete concertos and some extras. Have not played them in years but they came up as fresh as paint on my new rig. | |
| is this the greatest live band of all time? I forgot to add the Talking Heads Stop Making Sense tour in the 80's. They was a blast too. And then for something extemely different, I saw Richard Thompson in the late 90's. Brilliant guitar playing. | |

That was a concert! (1970, original line-up for COTCK). Soon after that I saw Jethro Tull, and that was a close ... | |

| have you ever bought stereo without listening first OP, you made me think. Of everything that has passed through my hands over the last 40 years or so, only one item had a real demo (and a public one at that at a large dealer in the UK) - the original Kef Reference 105. I was so impressed I brought... | |
| Has anyone else auditioned something that really was terrible? I dropped by a local audio boutique a few years ago and they were demonstrating the then-new Wilson Duette stand-mount speakers. I don't remember the electronics they were connected to, but they were decent, but the sound was bad - flat and no dec... | |
| Do any still use an older high end tuner from the past?.... I'm listening to a Nakamichi ST-7 in my basement system. Not really high-end but it still sounds really good with the only NPR/classical stations that are worth listening to in my area (WGUC and WVXU). Using a really cheap wire dipole on the wall... | |
