| Thinking of selling my Snell E/III I had a pair of Type E/IIIs’ that had the woofers professionally refoamed at Simply Speakers in Clearwater, FL. When I tried to sell them several years later I discovered that most would-be buyers balked when they realized that the woofers were re... | |
| Most Beautiful Receiver / Integrated - Ever was... ? The Symphonic Line Kraftwerk MK2 integrated amp was a sight to behold with not only a chromed face plate but a fully chromed mirror-like chassis. Incredibly rare...can't remember the last time I saw one for sale. | |
| Can upgraded power cords help my setup? @dlcockrum Quote: BTW - add-on ferrite chokes not only kill the RF/EMI/digital hash (if they do) but also the sound. Try them and see. What a load of hooey. So you’ll admit that the ferrite chokes will block/filter the harmful effects of RF and EM... | |

| What did you own in the 60's? A Scott solid state all-in-one: AM/FM with a built in Garrard record player and separate 2-way speakers in walnut cabs. You’ll notice I didn’t say ’turntable’.The best I can say about it is that it played music. My most vivid memory was the box it... | |

| Tell Us about an Album That Took a Long Time to Grow on You Music From Big Pink. Yes. It’s true. I was very late to the party.Even though I was very familiar with "The Weight" I had never heard any other songs on the album. Eventually I bought the LP in ’72 because I heard "Chest Fever" on the radio and th... | |

| Tune of the Day Laura Fygi.Although she's not unknown she's still under the radar to most people. Too middle-of-the road maybe? Imho she shoulda been a contender.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZ_OyBb_nCg&spfreload=5 |
