what are your top "audio bargins" in your system history?
Stax headphones Vandersteen 2CEII  
Fee for home audition

Good movie and/or 4k disc recommendations?
My Dinner With Andre is a masterpiece.  
Did vinyl sales just hit the proverbial brick wall?
@bdp24, I also saw that McCoury/Earle lineup in Madison, WI and it was transcendent.   
50 years of Hip Hop- How Come?
+1 @ghasley  some straight up George Wallace attitudes in this thread! hip hop is just as much "music" as any other genre. I'd bet dollars to donuts that anyone who believes otherwise is also "outraged" by a football player taking a knee while th... 
Iris DeMent, past and present.
I'm a big fan of both Iris and her husband's music.
