Hearing Aids Reduce Dementia Risk
I'm no more weird about wearing hearing aids than I am about wearing glasses; got a sense that needs some help? Help it! My sanity is still questionable...   
Advice on Speaker upgrade vs System Component Upgrade
@rego - I'm going to be auditioning Oscar Duo and Parker Duo later this week. Stand-mounts are best for me.   
The best looking speakers
@kokakolia - interesting; I do take a big interest in my living space; I've been talking to a decorator about a re-do but it's not easy to find decorators who have any real interest in dealing with my audio-visual setup.  The best looking speaker...

Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters Ruins the Song ‘Money’!
'Acid casualty'? You seem to be confusing Roger Waters with Syd Barrett.  And while Roger might be pleased to be described as 'sixty- something', he passed that age demographic a long, long time ago.   
Listen to a CD or LP in showroom?
@larryi - that's interesting - I was born and raised in Silver Spring (1951 - 1969) and I've never heard the term 'DMV' for that area, though that is clever.   
Room divider
Might depend on the acoustic properties of your room divider. And it would be a good idea I think to have the divider a good ways behind your listening chair or you may get reflections of the sound off of it.

Music that MUST be experienced with cans?
You'd likely get more responses from people who actually enjoy headphones over on the Head-Fi forums than on this place.   
Music that MUST be experienced with cans?
That's a good question; I'm often listening in 'shuffle' mode and something comes on that sounds just so awesome on cans, I email another HP fan friend of mine to tell him about it. Of course, none of them are coming to mind right now...   
Mazzy loves Little Feat!
I loved Blue Cheer's version of 'Summertime Blues'; it was a big hit single in the DC area - it was the first version of it that I ever heard, and still my favorite.  
Replacement Tubes
I always buy my tubes from Brent Jessee - you might want to check with him....  
How does this forum feel about original house music and live DJing?
I don't have much EDM in my collection, but I do enjoy it if it's playing at places I am at. And I'm 72...   
Fritz Speakers
@erik_squires - I've got Fritz speakers too, but getting 'dissected' here on Audiogon? Almost every mention of Fritz or his speakers I've seen here or elsewhere has been very positive...  
What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first?
I love headphones and have a great headphone system as well as a 2-channel system. Headphones will never, ever, sound like speakers and speakers will never, ever sound like headphones. They're not meant to, and most people who use headphones do n...
