Is Old Music Killing New Music?
@femoore12 - good to see you're a Steven Wilson fan (Porcupine Tree tix for US shows go on sale this week), but it's surprising that you're a prog rock fan and didn't hear of him until 4 years ago; both with Porcupine Tree and his own bands, he's ... 
Intriguing inquiry, are floor-stand speakers always better than active speakers?

Is Old Music Killing New Music?
@mustbethemusic - out of curiosity, do you think something can be 'good', even if you don't happen to like it? You primarily enjoy jazz - great! I don't like jazz at all, but I wouldn't question its worth because of that - people have different t...

California Uber Alles - that's MY kind of ballad!!!   
Any tubes currently manufactured in the US, Japan or Germany?
