Imagine If You Will.....

Holiday Habits and Pleasures
@roxy54, thanks but I'm a very good actor and everyone in my family thinks I'm fine with Christmas.  All of this originated when we were cowering in caves and realized at some point that winter wouldn't go on forever, so I get that endings/beginn... 
Holiday Habits and Pleasures
Every year I campaign to skip the tree and every year the suggestion is shot down. We generally do John Denver and the Muppets, the Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack,etc but I can't wait for this all to be over; incredible amount of wasted resour... 
Martin Logan vs. Everything
I have been using a pair of 11As (Impressions) for about eight years now. I am in the same boat; I can appreciate and definitely enjoy dynamic driver speakers from many other manufacturers, but I just don't feel the same need to continue listening... 
Why don't we tire of music?
Maybe I'm the odd man out, but there are many movies I rewatch regularly: It's A Wonderful Life, Sound of Music, Dr. Strangelove, Bergman/Fellini/Truffaut/Melville/etc. I've also read The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy "trilogy" multiple times as...

What’s the most underrated used Audio Research gear?
I've been using an ARC LS7 that I bought used back in 1998(!) and it has consistently been an absolute champ. I have turned it off a handful of times in that period, and never changed a tube. what a demon!  
I am streaming , how can I play music when provider goes down.
Vinyl.  
Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters Ruins the Song ‘Money’!
Another case where I have to separate the artist from the art.  I think a lot of his work is fantastic, but that doesn't mean I subscribe to his world view.  I still love Annie Hall, but I don't condone Woody's behavior over the last (checks calen... 
Whats playing on your system today?
+1 edcyn I found a copy of the PP original soundtrack on vinyl at the goodwill last weekend (set me back 1 dollar). Brought it home and cleaned it, and it is spectacular - I don't believe the copy had ever been played and it sounds new.  It's def... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
@bkeske   Thanks!  I am trying to get into some classical music after stumbling along on this big marble for 54 years, and your posts are very helpful in that regard. Mostly "modern" stuff like Shoenberg, Crumb, and Shostakovich so far but I'm t...
