Speakers which always sound good
I have a pair of ADS1230's floor standings purchased in 1981 I believe, that have never failed to sound great in 3 different homes in a variety of locations in each. There's always fiddling and distancing to tweak, but they always come through.  
Footers under my speakers double the perceived value of my speakers!
Well, I gotta say, I was a non-believer in anti-vibration/isolation pads. But no longer. I have a difficult audio room that is large, heavy padded furniture, lots of glass, high slanted ceiling, etc. I just didn't feel that I was getting good tigh... 
I'm here for the enthusiasts, not the snobbery
I'm sorry but, I knew a guy that didn't smoke cause he didn't want to get lung cancer. One day he was in the crosswalk and a tobacco truck ran over his clean lungs and killed him. Point is, you pick your poison. Probably safe if you stay in bed al... 
Sexy singer(s) and/or song(s)
Two that have always stuck with me are Claudine Longet, Love Is Blue, and Olivia Newton John, I Honestly Love You.  
When Did Your System Disappear?
Testpilot,LMAO....."When I got divorced".That is the most apprapros response that could have been posted. I showed my wife and we can't stop laughing 😂Not at your expense mind you.  
Tammy Holt ......She's what holds it all together.......Never gives up
Tammy fixed things for me when no one else could or would. I got the runaround until Tammy stepped in. Just looking for a certain degree of competence and efficiency. Thanks Tammy.  
Sub to complement KEF LS50s: SVS vs. Rythmik
What a great post. Noble 100, very informative. I am considering a sub, but reasoned 2 might be better. Now, maybe 3!! Or 4.... The science is fascinating.  
If you could only keep 5 record albums, what would they be?
Was going to mention that no one has mentioned the whole collection of Roy Orbison. @Fayetteville just did. What a set of pipes that guy had. If just one album, "a night in black and white" would be it. His back ups are Springsteen, Elvis Costello...

@jhills.....+1 here.Your whole list is check, check, double check. Are we all the same age on this forum? I'm on board with 90% of all music listed and that could grow as I audition more. I'm a "boomer" and feel that I have been so fortunate to ha... 
I like my system flat, no tone controls, no eq..........what is your preference, and why.
@n80, +1And this is what they call diversity. I'm glad we don't all have the same systems, same rooms, same ears, same tastes. It would be boring. I've tried flat and I've tried curves. The purist in me says go flat. But for my sonic appreciation ...

@bdp24, you are a music encyclopedia!!! I have heard and like maybe 75% of the albums listed, but your "6 pack" is this weekend's homework assignment. Can't wait.

Different strokes for different folks. Personally,  I love having the ability to adjust sound to fit my mood. My Mac has a 5 band EQ that I adjust as required. True, the sound that day in that studio was recorded as such to suit that engineer sitt...

I have to say, it is like asking "who's your favorite child?"I am past the half century mark so there's so much great music tied to so many great experiences. All of the above albums have me saying "ya, that one". The five best for me are the mood... 
How can anyone want more......Just a very happy listener.
Never heard of Vienna Teng. Wow!!Great vocals and instrumentals. Thanks David and Tomic.
