Born to Run: Why the Poor Sound Quality?
Agreed- Springsteen did have a big hand in all aspects of this album! As we all know now, this was his last attempt at a Hit before his Label dropped him. 
Which Solid State Amplifier is Making you Happy?
cj Premier 350 is on my short-list! 
What equipment or event thrust you into the hobby?
Back in 1986, I was shopping in the local mall. There was a nice electronics store (independent), that demo the latest Yamaha component system, then new. On that day, I learned how good hifi could be... 
Best "Island Song"
Second, "Legalize It" 
Devotion to 2Ch/MC?
I prefer 2-channel, but enjoy multi as well. 
Are the online zines killing print mags in audio?
IMO, web zines are okay, but I really enjoy any journal in print! 
Best guitar explosion of all time
One more vote for ERUPTION. Crank it up... 
Anyone going to see the Police?
Saw the June 9 show in Denver, great experience. The band had synergy, as Sting was playing an old bass (really sweet sound) Stewart had 2 percussion rigs and Andy was outstanding! 
Cables for B&W 805S
At one time I used Transparent ( mid-line ) w/ my older 805 speakers. Really great sound and detail. 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Which dealer in the Southeast region has the best demo / selection capability? 
Rel subwoofers
Agree with CMK. They do sound better! 
Best drink while listening to your rig?
Single Malt - for cool jazz.Imported Dark Beer - for everything else. 
Best short-lived band?
Blind Faith. 
Wood v. Metal for stands. Is there a clear winner?
I use a Bell'O tv/av rack. It is well made with heavy glass shelves. The weight of my tv + components really anchors it down. Hope this helps. 
Best lines in a song
" Whiskey bottles + brand-new cars, Oak tree you're in my way" Skynyrd.
