New favorite VINYL Album?
thx for the suggestion Koegz, I will pick it up!! 
What decibel level do you listen at?
Tvad, you are a menace to the neighborhood! Hope you don't live in a NY apartment, or we will lose you to an angry next door, below, or above neighbor.Man, on both my RatShack meter and my iPhone at 75 db it's deafening. I must have whimpy ears. 
New favorite VINYL Album?
Stone Temple PilotsWho thought they had another one in them? Great album, love it. 
Personal speaker evolution
Dawg-Fish, love the 5a's. I keep thinking about moving to those, what a great speaker. But then I would have to change all of my upstream components too. Well, maybe that's a great plan, a whole new system!! 
Should I upgrade DAC, speaker cables, ICs, or PCs?
LOL, it's classic reading your system notes, I now understand more your motivation with such postings. You really don't mean any of it, you are just trying to offend.It's not offensive, it's really funny, you are like the Andy Kaufman of Audiogon.... 
Should I upgrade DAC, speaker cables, ICs, or PCs?
I've never heard of Mojo Audio, or heard their DAC. Looking at their website, it looks like a startup, and I wish your friend luck.I have heard, many, many DAC's over the years, and those that are new, including the one's mentioned above, and I wo... 
Should I upgrade DAC, speaker cables, ICs, or PCs?
I've owned all three of those DAC's, and many more, and I don't agree that they would be a bad match. Everyone is always trying to get the best sound from their system and that means balance.My system tends to bright, so I didn't like the sound of...

Your First Concert was.....
reading over this, it looks like REO Speedwagon may lead the voting in being the most seen band on here for a first concert. Who knew?They were not good either time I saw them. Maybe they were better ealier.Someone here was at my wife's first conc...

Thin Lizzy - Jail Break (180g)Stone Temple Pilots (180g) - Great album, who would have thought they could pull off another great album?Black Keys - Brothers (180g)Pixies - Surfer Rosa, Doolittle (MOFI) 
Should I upgrade DAC, speaker cables, ICs, or PCs?
for $1500 you could get a great DAC. You can take your time and go through several until you find the one that matches your gear the best.With your pre/amp/speaker combo (should have an awesome warm,powerful sound) I would suggest either the Bel C... 
Dream system - but no aftermarket power cords
That's someone's system on Audio Asylum, not here on Audiogon, I have no idea's whose that is, or why they would put a link to a competing site on here. That seems rather rude.Do you hate sarcasm, or just cry when someone disagrees with you? Also,... 
Dream system - but no aftermarket power cords
Dlcockrum, I love the ability to look through others' posts on Audiogon, it is very telling, and can reveal when someone posts something ignorant, and baseless.First of all, I post very little on cords, because I think they are snake oil in genera... 
Maggie MMG
I don't think you can touch the MMG in that price range, but there is a very big caveat; Maggies take a lot of power to drive, and you don't have enough power. That makes them cheap to buy, but fairly expensive to enjoy.I am not sure that your rec... 
ozonated water for rinse cycle in cleaning vinyl
Several of my neighbors are scientists and research Dr's and all of their labs have the equipment to purify water to "laboratory" grade. They have explained the process at length, although I don't remember the particulars, and it is a much differe...
