Did the Old Receivers Sound Good?
Back in the late 70's, I assembled what for the times was a pretty decent system. Not state of the art but it was what I could afford at the time. I had a Yamaha CR2020 receiver, ADS L810 ii speakers and a Denon DP790 turntable. The turntable an... 
Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time
While I despise modern day country music, it is nowhere near as bad as  rap/hip-hop. Of course, what would you expect. I’m just an old white guy in my 70’s who came of age during the folk scare and saw the Beatles live while in high school.    
It was 61 years ago today...
Saw the Beatles live at Busch stadium in St Louis, August of 1966. All in all, a totally underwhelming experience. Too weak sound system for such a large outdoor space. It rained and what little sound we heard was largely drowned out by the scream...

Any Discwasher D4 users out there?
I have an original D4 kit with the brushes and Zerostat gun in a walnut holder. Also have a spare bottle of the D4 fluid, still in the blister pack. This is all the original made in Columbia, Mo. The blister pack still shows the price of $2.50. ...

System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live
Many years ago, I recall reading some literature about Klipsh. Their contention was that one of the most difficult sounds to reproduce was  scissors cutting a piece of paper.

Acoustic Guitar on Vinyl
jdjohn; Dan Tyminski is a good player but mostly a rhythm player. His bandmate Ron Block is fantastic player. His tasteful fills and tone he pulls from his old D-28 are something to behold. The band being relatively new, little is available on ...

Bigger and Better: Integrated Amplifiers
I did notice some subtle improvements when I traded in my Realistic SA10 for a CH Precision l1 Universal integrated. Many veils were lifted,  
Best speakers around $130k?
I can't decide if the Bayz Audio products are coffee makers or drill presses. Possibly a band saw?  
How long do good speakers last?
Bought a pair of ADS L810 II's in 1978. Used them until about 5 yearsago. Passed them on to my brother and as far as I know, still making sounds. Only issue I ever had was blown tweeter fuses when my worthless step son used them while I was at work,
