PayPal not as safe as everyone thinks?
I had a theft from my Paypal account about a year ago. It took three months of having my money locked up to get it released and have the theft of $900 returned by Paypal. In the end it was only agravation. The insurance portion was never kicked in... 
Recommend me a good psychologist
I feel kinda funny after the nice things said about Ruthie. Our summer houses were a couple of doors down the block. I'm not sure what help she could give around being in love with the equipment. I've heard her talk about something similar. But......

Which is better, live performance or on your system?

What Does It Take to be an Audiophile?
Caring, interest and affection for music in my life at the highest level I can achieve in understanding, listening and reproduction. Music, both recordings and performances are very important to me and my home audio is exceptionally important as i... 
Have you "lied" to yourself?
Lie to myself? I have the best wife and kids in the world. Even if they're in jail!Now the audio. Nope, never bought a piece of equipment that wasn't better than the last. I make perfect decisions. It's my ears that are the problem.Bill E. 
Hate to ask......
I have the blessing and curse of two decent size living rooms, one each for theater and two channel. So, having put together the two channel first, I listen continuously to recorded music. I simply never enjoy the level of the sound in the theater... 
SACD PLAYERS
I have a Sony SCD-1 and a Resolution Audio 55, into a ML380S , ML335 with Dunlavy SCIV's and Stealth PGS interconnects and Harmonic Tech Magic One biwires. The Sony now produces sound of equal quality to the RA55 in Redbook. Best wishes,Bill E.

As-Is, What does it mean?
When somenone says, "As is", I ask him what he is representing. If he says nothing, wish him good luck. As is means no warranties express or implied unless agreed to by the parties prior to the transaction. But, it doesn't prevent you from request... 
Should 2nd. Buyer Receive Guarantee ?
A warranty is an additional cost of manufacture based upon the estimated useful life prior to failure(mean time to failure) and the marketing value of providing customer service. It represents the "integrity" of a company in the mind of many. Only...
