Amp suggestion for Legacy Focus
Sean, I was wondering about that. It seems there are two schools of thought regarding which way to go on up-grading components, front to back or back to front in the signal chain. As Jmcgrogan2 says, the focus can be a little strong on the top end... 
Ethics of last minute auction "poaching"
Blbloom, Back at ya. 
Murphy s Laws for Audiophiles
Here's a one for you. You will get negative ratings on your posts, not because it stunk, but because someone has a hard-on for you! I'm not sure if that's Murphy's Law, but, it should be named after someone! 
Ethics of last minute auction "poaching"
Just as those persons inflate their merchandise up for sale, I would like to know how to vote for myself on these threads and erase my 2 negatives on the last post. Ha! Ha! Ha! Just kidding. 
Ethics of last minute auction "poaching"
Blbloom, I agree in that text. I didn't mean a seller inflating his own auction. I meant it in the text of the person who started the thread. Losing an item because of a last minute poacher is well within the rules of an auction! Sorry I wasn't CL... 
Ethics of last minute auction "poaching"
Put in the maximum you want to pay for the item and stop whining! It's an auction for cryin' out loud! All bids are fair bids till the auction is over. If you won the auction you still got the item for what you were willing to pay.

Greatest Guitar Band
Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird" from the album "One More From The Road" has got to be up there! Van Halen, who's gonna argue with Eddie Van Halen! I also like queen, what a unique guitar sound they had, you could tell it was Queen just from the sound... 
spades vs. bananas
Dekay, I find your post on bare wire connections sounding better, very interesting. I took the time of making my own speaker cables and would definetely be interested in making a better electrical and better sounding connection. I took the time to... 
Guilty Pleasures
Yeah, my wife and I have our own guilty pleasure music. Buster Poindexter... "Who Through the Whiskey in the Well" is great. 
Most overpriced audio component made
I would love to see how many of you are in business for yourselves. If you were, you would see that Whbg's comment @ 6-11% profit is pretty close to the norm. All you see is what the dealer paid for the item and then what he sells it for, and you ... 
Your 5 Fav Rock Concerts
I'll have to add another one. Just got back from The Billy Joel/Elton John concert in Salt Lake City, and it was very good. Well at least to me it was, I really enjoy both of their music. Okay so I can't have 6, let's drop Bad Company. 
The best and worst Audiogon poster's
Albertporter, Yes it was I, and I apologize again! But it does happen, it happens here, and the said part is... we are in the year 2001. I apologize again for stearing this discussion off of the audio (head down in humble position)topic. 
Best Car Stereo
