***Seasons Greetings A'goners***Are You Getting Any New Gear For Christmas***

Nowhere to hear speakers and amps anymore!

Have I Found the Holy Grail of Audio Systems? My Surprising Discovery
celebrate our shared passion for exceptional sound in other words: genital size measuring contest. To me it's interesting when we discuss a problem or a challenge. When people just post how great their 50-100+K system is, there is nearly zero v... 
Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums?
I used to tell people in my office to be careful with their cutting off and flipping the bird to someone in traffic, It may be me on my bike or their boss, if they can be civilized by the water cooler or at meetings, why can't they be civilized on... 
Martin Logan vs. Everything
