Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ?
There is a plethora of cool things to learn on this site.  So many things I had no idea about.  And as noted above, I got turned on to a lot of new music I would never have gotten an opportunity to hear and enjoy.  Thanks to all who have contribut...

Krell Moves to new location
I received my FPB300cx back and my wife mentioned that she thinks it sounds better than ever.  Willie and the techs did a stupendous job with the tune up as I have owned since new and it needed the caps replaced. Steve at High Performance Stereo ...

Super cool post, thanks!  I was super lucky to see him play Journey to the center of the earth at the Hollywood Bowl with Orchestra way back when.  A truly special show. -John  
Infinit Quantum 2 - Wiring 3 (4) EMIT
Look at Infinity-Classics.de site.  There is a lot of info there.  Also there is a pair on Usaudiomart for sale and some of the pictures show the crossovers & back speaker wires exposed.   https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650195972-infinit... 
How long should high quality speakers last?
Infinity Renaissance 90's are about 30 years old and sound perfect.   Bought maybe the last EMIT tweeters from the mfg around 2000 and never used one.  Bought a spare set of speakers and sold them after 10 years.  In my late 60 's so it'll be a te... 
To which song(s) did you blow your speakers?
ELP Tank!  If your needle doesn't skip on the ending of that song your turntable is set up right.  My SL1210 with a Shelter cartridge plays it perfectly.   Only took 40+ years for me to get it right.  Blown speakers:  Moody Blues, Never Comes the... 
The best opening act you've ever seen & heard?
A great outdoor daytime concert,1976 or so.  I was two years out of high school. Heart opened for Leonard Skynyrd who opened for Jefferson Airplane/Starship at Santa Barbera College outdoor football field.   1980? or so (brain dead so & so..)... 
New UHQR recordings VS the 8 produced in the early 80's. Are the new releases as good?
Having all 8 of the originals is something special indeed.  I wish I would have purchased more of the MFSL albums back in the day.  I didn't know anything about them until after the fact as usual.  The few I do own I really enjoy.  One of my favor... 
New UHQR recordings VS the 8 produced in the early 80's. Are the new releases as good?
Had to check the serial number on my Supertramp.  #2382.  Still plays very nice after so may times on my turntable.  Got me to re-check an MFSL album I have of Alan Parson's "Tales of Mystery and Imagination."  #17.  That also is a sweet copy.  Bu...

Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers
Inna stated, "Replacing a woman with speakers is a very unorthodox maneuver. Orthodox would be replacing a woman with a woman." A very astute statement if I ever heard one.  As much as I like music...  
Favorite Album Cover (picture or art on the cover)
Brain Salad Surgery.  My wife bought me a new Bell dirt bike helmet and had it painted with the album artwork & words "Brain Salad Surgery" on the back.  It is soooo fitting for an off-roader.   
Favorite Cover Album
I dig the "Pickin On" albums.  Bluegrass versions of different artists.  Picking on the Rolling Stones, Sheryl Crow & U2 are my favorites.  Great Sunday morning listening over coffee & a danish.
