| What's up with the ridiculous offers?!? I guess I don't understand the issue. If a lowball offer is received then the person isn't serious and you can simply ignore them. You're not out anything. Sometimes people sell things because they need to raise money. I recently offered a seller ... | |
| R.I.P. David Bowie Ziggy played guitar. Rest in peace David, and thank your for your music! | |
| If you won the power ball tomorrow night would you Definitely #3. This is the plan already established. If I had that sort of money however the "room" would be a separate building from the main house connected by a breezeway. I would research and oversee each step of the construction since I love ... | |
| When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad I guess it's easy to criticize any form of music. I don't like Rap but I also don't like Opera, Big Band, Punk (with a few exceptions), Pop, Avant Garde or experimental Jazz, Middle Eastern, Country.....the list goes on. While my tastes gravitate ... | |
| What's that noise? Thanks for the replies. The speakers are Legacy Audio Focus rated at 4 ohm and 96db. The "noise" does stop just below full volume and there is no way one could listen at this level. I usually don't use more than about 33% of the potential volume l... | |
| Where did you sink the most cash into? Leaving music out of it, definitely amp and pre. However, speakers come second on my list of desired upgrades. I'm looking at balanced power first. | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable Matt M. stated the following:"I spend my audio dollar mostly on equipment, rather than cables. I buy cables that allow me to feel much more connected to the music, and I dismiss the rest. I use for MY system (made up of all separate components)... | |
| Rock with strings So this thread seems to have evolved from the original "strings" topic to encompass acoustic instruments of all flavors. Quite frankly my favorite music is from those who explore the use of unique instruments in a rock format. Someone mentioned fl... | |

| Songs that trigger you to switch the station or... Have to agree, Steve Perry makes me want to vomit! Hated REO Speedwagon and Foreigner as well, as I think back, the late 70's and 80's were not a great time for music. The AOR format was dying and it felt like music didn't really know where to go.... | |
| Songs that trigger you to switch the station or... "Most (but not all) women singers." Wow Joey, that's quite a statement I enjoy many awesome female singers! The interesting thing is, musical taste is highly personal. The fact that some people prefer male vocalists or female vocalists or differen... | |

| Idea for Audio and Power Cables A recent development in power transmission are superconducting cables that operate at a couple hundred degrees below zero, cooled by liquid nitrogen. The main feature is zero resistance to the flow of electricity. Hmm, wonder what those cables wou... | |
| Is Vinyl Worth It Oh do I wrestle with this one. When it comes to audio quality there is nothing (in my opinion) that beats vinyl. The problems is......well, all the problems with it. Turntables, cartridges, tonearms, adjustments, phono amps, cables, cleaning, more... | |
| How important is a good rack? To answer your question, very important and maple seems to be the wood of choice. Maple dissipates vibration. Since I am in the midst of a complete system upgrade I knew my old wobbly Sanus rack had to go. I wanted a simple four shelf 48" wide sol... |
