| What is the most challenging music to play on a stereo? Definitely vocals - trying to make Tiny Tim's voice sound better is definitely a step in the right direction | |
| One of the great things about Vinyl Is I find myself listening to recordings all the way through. Rarely do that with CD's and/or streaming. Simple, it's not easy to defy the Law. One can easily change digital content via smart phone, pc, tablet, remote. But to change vinyl, o... | |
| What can beat Wilson XVX for less money? What can beat Wilson XVX for less money? - seems like a leading question that “assumes” we all generally agree on the sonic quality of the Wilson XVX while ignoring the more important fact that speaker preferences are usually “subjective”. ... | |

| Sold a component and bought it back, am I nuts? Sold a component and bought it back, am I nuts? It could be “Love”. Sometime one gets bore or strained in a relationship and thinks that they can do better. After some time of separation for the heart to realize the loss then the growing ye... | |
