| What was your first 'hi-end' system? Harman Kardon 330C receiverDual turntable of some typeNo idea as to cartridge (likely Grado) or cablingLarge Advent speakers | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? Part of what marginalizes so-called high-end audio is the hopeless complication. Use a PC or a Mac to stream music? No so fast; one has to "clean up" the power supply and, laughably, place the computer itself on uber-special footers to guard again... | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? Thirty dollars for vinyl records? Wow. How much do they charge for 8-tracks and cassettes? | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Saw a show by a GD tribute band called the dark star orchestra. They play note for note reproductions of various dead shows. Not a Deadhead, but it was a really nice show and they drew about 12-1500 folks. Saw Steely Dan last Summer and was blown ... | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? I like the idea of starting a charity also. I think one great thing to do would be to redeploy audio systems owned by recently deceased audiophiles -- assuming, as is quite often the case, that the family members would like nothing better than cle... | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? I live in a highly affluent town of a NE state (translated, most of my neighbors are one percenters I gather) and I'm one of two people I know of who have a tangentially high end system. Most everyone else has just a home theatre with built in spe... | |

| Hegel h300 or Krell S550i or Music Fidelity M6500i Which looks coolest? Which have the warmest fins? | |
| Why is Monster M1000i interconnect overlooked? Do you think the monster cable would sound better were it cryogenically treated? | |
| Beck / Morning Phases I have seen him live four times and have every one of his CDs. I think the new one ought to be called The Soporific. Very tedious and nary a hook. Incredibly disappointed. To my mind, he's getting less and less inventive. It seems like he mailed t... | |
| My most memorable ROCK moment Further to comments about seeing great bands when they were somewhat unknown, I saw The Talking Heads at the Berklee Performance Center in Boston when their only well-known song was Psycho Killer (ca. 1976); the opening act was a band from Athens,... | |
| Sony - What were you thinking? I assume that sony figures that the small number of people who want to use the product with vinyl aren't the core demographic. I also think they should be lauded for trying to make a simpler product that won't intimidate the buying product. The ke... |
