| Best small speakers? I've heard PSB sound very good with Rogue amps.Also Magnepan. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Relatively speaking, dealing with any vintage gear is riskier than dealing with new. Value may be more as a collectable to a very narrow market than anything else with old stuff, no matter how good it is.But, where there is a will, there is usuall... | |
| An interesting Digital vs. Analog experience Focals are good choices for those who really "focus" on the high end of the audible spectrum.Not too shabby otherwise as well. | |
| Why aren't the older members still active ? Sunrise, sunset....... | |
| Steve Jobs we will miss you Its a free country (USA, so far for the most part at least).People can speak their minds however there are always consequences to whatever one says in public, so you just have to accept that.I am anti censorship in general. It helps to have some t... | |

| Favorite poorly-recorded albums A lot (not all) of classic Allman Brothers recordings have not always been the greatest over the years for whatever reason.I used to think many of the original classic 7 Moody Blues albums were not the greatest recordings (murky mellotron) despite... | |
| "Best" speakers new/used under $3,000? "Have you heard a speaker you loved over $3,000 that has the kind of sound you are looking for under $3,000. "That's a very good point.I find it is a better strategy to listen first for the best sound or sounds at any price to establish that as a ... | |
| Snapped off my cantilever I truly hate when that happens! A true bummer!Phono cantilevers are quite delicate and accidents happen. One of the true downsides. Best to keep a spare of everything around so that when something nasty like that happens, the music can keep playin... | |
