| The survival of the fittest. High end survives over time by establishing a loyal customer base. Magnepan is one of those companies. No one ever made money by selling one to a customer.That is true for speakers as well as electronics. Tektron seems to be getting a following... | |
| Honest Amp Reviews: Impossible? One of the fundamental conditions of being an “audiophile” is having strong opinions regarding sound and its reproduction. Each individual has preferences as to what sounds good to them as well as being influenced by many external inputs with reg... | |
| You can Vote for Most Valuable Lead Vocals (Rock Groups) I have to add Gregg Allman, he could sing the blues as both a young man in 1971 when I saw him and later in life as the band changed guitarists. | |
| If you could, what live performances would you enjoy re-living? I have seen many of the icons, most were "On" when I saw them in the late 60's, early 70's.

| Best Rock Song Ever! Allman Brothers Band - You Don’t Love Me from Live at the Fillmore. I saw it live at the Syria Mosque in Pittsburgh, Duane Allman killed it. Listen about 6 minutes in on the album. His solo was so soulful it almost moved me to tears. | |
| What are the sexiest components ever made? McIntosh, particularly the power amps with the big blue meters in a semi dark room. Love my MC501s! | |

| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Yes. One is not defined by the things they possess. I presently own neither, yet I have owned many of each in the past. It is akin to saying you cannot be a sports car fan if you don’t own a triumph, Austin Healey or old Jag.Technology has chang... | |
