| Your last concert was to see who and when? It was a long time ago. So long ago I am not even sure I remember which was the last. But I am thinking that in the cold months of '03 I drove up tho Philadelphia on kind of the spur of the moment to see Steve Earle at The Living Arts Theater. ... | |
| Are you on or off? What say you? I must have a bit of Magpie in me. I don’t need anything but I’m still attracted to shiny things. +1 @bigtwin . . . I can relate. Unfortunately, I can no longer afford it, so I am off. | |

But most everybod... | |
| Are you on or off? What say you? I am pretty much off. A few years ago I upgraded my digital front end and my preamp, but that was a long time coming and probably way overdue. Considering age and income restrictions, I have no plans to get back on. (Unless I accidentally win the... | |

| Do people tire of audio forums? I will never tire of all the hate. | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system I don’t have any experience with tubes so probably will stick with SS. Oops! I missed this when you posted it. I think you ought to just maybe give them a listen before you rule them out. They really are not all that complicated and with the... | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system @skyscraper , sorry about that--SET = single ended triode. As opposed to push-pull. I am not very tech minded, but here is a page from Wiki describing the SET circuit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-ended_triode Here is Cary's l... | |
| What is your most fond musical memory. I don’t know which would be the "most." I sat in the front row center of a general admission 500 capacity club to see Emmy Lou Harris when she was touring Wrecking Ball. That made an impact on me. The first time I saw Lucinda Williams was the sa... | |
| Female vocals After I heard Margo Timmins/Cowboy Junkies covering "Sweet Jane" on Natural Born Killers, I was hooked. | |
| A blowing session???? how much of this stuff is simply a ’blowin’ session from the artists who are playing the brass instruments, particularly the sax?? But the sax is a woodwind? | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system but do know some sound more three dimensional, almost in person live @skyscraper , if I had the financial where with all, this would be my goal also. As it is, I know my limitations, and for that reason have never tried to listen to anything t... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? I once took a group of so called audiophiles and gouged their eyes out so that they had no visual reference to rely on, and then I led them around what they thought were a labyrinth of rooms and told them that some of the rooms had acoustic panels... | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system I'm with you when it comes to avoiding a streamer, as I've experienced enough format changes in my lifetime (vinyl to tape to CD to HDCD to SACD). @mitchagain , I am also a member of that club. | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? @jacobsdad2000 , I don't know if I would describe it as the "Wild West", but this identical discussion has reared it's ugly head there and I'd bet a lot of money with one of the original participants. I left after I unintentionally offended or i... |
