Any Can fans out there?
Lol, this brings back memories. When I was in college at the University of Texas in the 90's, I worked at Pronto Food Mart (basically a unique gas station that had an incredible import and domestic beer selection) in the quaint neighborhood of Hyd... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
I'm about to buy some new ICs and speaker wire. After a lot of research I've narrowed down my selection to either the Synergistic Research Tesla Accelerators or Purist Audio Aqueous line. From what I hear, they are pretty similar. I need a neutral... 
Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope?
I got lucky. My girlfriend puts up with my hobbies very well. I'm an audiophile and historical (curio and relic) firearms collector. Both are expensive hobbies and she doesn't mind if I am sensible about my purchases. My girlfriend loves to listen... 
Vinyl or wait for the new stuff??
Vinyl is just a ton of fun to mess with, from collecting, listening to perfecting the system. I could not live without it now. It can be expensive, but for $2,000 - $3,000 you can get yourself a very respectable and satisfying rig. 
Austin City Limits
They have these available on Netflix. Netflix + DvD Shrink software (shareware) + Image Burn software (shareware) + DVD Burner = home copy for library. 
Used record stores in lower Manhattan, NYC?
Thanks all. Patrick, that's just what I needed. I was looking for a little insider info on the local shops. 
Neutral cables for hi-resolution, imaging system?
Thanks very much for the recommendations. All the interconnects seem very good, and in my initial research yesterday, the Synergistic Research Tesla series seems to be the most intriguing. The price point is doable for me and the cost/benefit rati... 
Personal turntable/cartridge evolution
I'm starting to take some serious steps into vinyl, although I've been collecting and listening to LPs for almost 12 years. 1995-1996 - Some cheap Sears unit that I purchased for $20.2000-2002 - various Technics (SL-D2's, etc.)2004-2007 - Thorens ...

Does anyone know much about AGI preamps?
Sean, yes, I have used two of my TT's with the AGI so far. A Technics SL-D2 and a Pioneer PL series (either a 550, 560, or 570, I can't exactly remember which I've got back there rtight now). I do very much like the way vinyl sounds on it, but I h... 
Does anyone know much about AGI preamps?
Wow, I bought this unit on a strong recommendation for $220, and now after reading your descriptions I feel like I've gotten away scott-free with the Great Train Robbery. Now I know the explanation for the sound that I hear from it. My hat goes of... 
Does anyone know much about AGI preamps?
Well, just the basic facts, I think. I have seen one or two web pages where people mentioned modifications to it. What would the improvements be, exactly? I was mainly wondering what the basic specs were. Like S/N ratio (it almost seems to me to b...
