LIST ALL YHE SPEAKERS YOU HAVE OWNED THEN TILL NOW!
@calvinj Yeah, I can see the Harbeths being the end of the road of me.  They do everything I want in a speaker so well.

What was your first record?
My first purchase was Deep Purple Book of Taliesyn and Grand Funk Caught in the Act.  I always credit the Deep Purple as being my first record, it was the first of the two I selected.

I've bought nearly 1000 records on Discogs in the past 4-5 years and have had less than 10 that didn't meet expectations, a few approached $1000.  Two were fully refunded, a few more were partial refunds we both agreed to.  The others were not wor... 
What new gear have you just bought?

What's your favorite lyric from a song?
A little late to the party here, but my favorite sng lyrics are by Queen.  The song '39 to be exact. In the year of '39, assembled here the volunteers In the days when lands were few Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn The swee...

@rok2id Not familiar with "Dexter Gordon and Orchestra MORE THAN YOU KNOW SteepleChase 1975 / 1989" But I have yet to be disappointed by anything I have purchased on Steeplechase Records.
