| HOW can components be so expensive, and yet customer service is so bad. @jfrmusic - totally agree about MSB. Every time I've contacted them about something, I've heard back from either their long-time sales manager Vince or the CEO within a day, generally, and they are very helpful. The CEO got back to me when I asked... | |
| What do you do when the music’s not speaking to you? The closest I've come to that is when I just cannot decide what music to put on, so I just watch a series or a movie on the telly instead. | |
| Critical listening and altered states @sns - Indeed, when I was in college and taking lots of hallucinogens, some of which we even knew what they were, we were reading all those Castaneda books. One of my best friends' dad made 'Altered States'. | |
| Critical listening and altered states THC is not considered a 'hallucinogen', I don't think, but I can testify that with a high enough dose, one can visually hallucinate.... I'll see if that happens later today after consuming a salad with cannabis salad dressing about 30 minutes ago... | |
| Help! Pre amp turning on by itself. I'd guess that it's being turned on by a remote elsewhere, but you can't rule out poltergeists.... | |

| What's In Your CD Player Tonight? Cardiacs - Songs of Ships and Irons. Not available on vinyl.... | |

| Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ? @nonoise + 1 (as usual!) | |
| What do you listen to? Almost all of it is music I've heard over and over again, and I'm not proud of it, but a lot of the old sources I used to use to find out about new stuff are gone, and I've just not gotten around to using new ones. | |
| Genesis @bzawa - for the best sounding 'Nursery Cryme', look into the double-45 version from Acoustic Sounds/Analog Productions.... Unfortunately, those earlier Gabriel-era Genesis albums were not the best sounding ones, so even that leaves something to b... | |
| Where to start upgrading? There are a lot of wonderful tube headphone amps out there and I've had several - Woo certainly makes some great ones in varying price ranges, and I've had that Quicksilver HP amp that @johnss mentioned; great bang for the buck, that is! But there... | |
| Genesis @jpconer - did you ever listen to KOME in the '73 - '76 period when they were pretty much prog and psychedelic rock all the time, with DJ's like Phil Charles and Zim Zoots? They turned me on to so many great bands. @mapman - you are right about T... | |
| Mid level listening For me, the music is the most important thing. I read people say a certain system got their toes tapping. To me, music is what gets my toes tapping, head bobbing, etc; I had no more problem doing it with a handheld transistor radio when I was 16 t... | |
| Jill Sobule has passed away in house fire That's awful - so sorry to hear that. I was on a train trip through the Southwest with her in 2009; she was one of the performers and passengers along with Stan Ridgway and the Handsome Family. She was very sweet. RIP Jill. |
