Any Mark Knopfler fans out there?
Mark Knopfler’s solo albums seem very different to me. Shangri-La is, to me, one of the best well-rounded albums ever (I somehow amassed a CD, SACD, DVD-Audio, and a record and am missing a cassette, if it has ever been produced).Going back to Dir... 
No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need
b4icu,I was not talking about real fuse or about placing one anywhere. It was a hypothetical question "how thin does the connecting wire have to be before it is called a fuse?". It may not be 12-14 AWG, but at what AWG would it be? Now, when I thi...

No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need
b4icu,You misunderstood my (fully hypothetical) question and cut it in pieces that lost the original meaning in the process."How thin is that last connecting piece on the 0 AWG wire allowed to be" I'd answered that already before! It should be as ... 
Dear Audiogon,
aberyclark,It seems you are the only straightforward person here.

If you start worrying about moving a cable, you have way too much time on your hands and way too little of other things in them.In fact, if you are reading this, above applies to you, too, regardless of your thoughts about moving a cable.If you st... 
Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K)
lancelock,Congratulations. It seems like the beginning of wonderful relationship.You surely made those TAD speakers sound good through the Audiogon thread posts and now I regret that I missed them. Well, next time.On the other hand, they must be c... 
What is the most memorable concert that you had attended so far?
"WHAT CONCERT(S) do you WISH you could've/would've been able to see,..."Elvis. That's it. 
What is the most memorable concert that you had attended so far?
shkong78,"I wish I had been to live concert of Bruce Springsteen. I want to know why he is called boss."He is simply good, and I am not much of his true fan. That is all I can say about that one time I saw him.However, those who have been to his B... 
What is the most memorable concert that you had attended so far?
shkong78,I wish that my father had done same thing to me.Can I get a partial credit, at least, for flying my daughter to a Leonard Cohen concert and then one more ("fans and media only", no kidding, that was the title of it at Beacon Theatre in Ne...

Oooops, I missed CAF. Forgot about it. Did I miss much (except TAD speakers)? 
Are you as OCD as this audiophile?
rodman99999,"I’m trying to remember the last time I saw an audio component, that was manufactured without a grounding/polarized plug,"I am losing track of who saw what and when, but if it is of any value to anyone, I just checked my amplifier and ... 
Are you as OCD as this audiophile?
I will repeat my earlier post."Seeing those covers removed and exposed electronics on the floor reminded me of....."Another Michael. Similar guru style, too. What is this becoming? The Gospel Of Michaels? 
Are you as OCD as this audiophile?
Are contacts inside the receptacles with different sizes different or it is the same with a bigger plastic hole? I thought that difference in hole sizes is to ensure it is placed in the right one, not to enhance the contact by its size. Is it both...
