| Blu-Ray, SACD & NetFlix player? My Marantz HT dvd does all these and more (HDCD etc). Cost was about $400. | |
| Mosfet mist? "Mosfet Mist" is a phrase coined by that noted 90's adult film star, Linn Klimax. | |
| Teddy Pardo DAC I have heard the Don Pardo DAC, but never the Teddy Pardo one. | |
| Jolida FX10 - KEF 103.2 I have the Jolida in a bedroom set. My speakers have fairly high efficiency (95db) ratings and really love the lush midrange (to use a loathsome cliche), but the bass response is very much lacking. I've ran them with a set of nice floor standers t... | |
| How Many Audiophiles Have Do You Know? There are about 8 of us in the world and each of us has about 25 Audiogon aliases. | |
| Lou Reed/Metallica "Lulu" just awful At least he tries and does new things. The Raven CD comes to mind. So many musicians recycle the same stuff over and over again. How interesting is that. MMM was in fact put out to satisfy contractual obligations. He owed two LPs so he put out a d... | |
| Speaker Cable for SET amplfiier - 1000$ You may spend less than you've targeted but I've really been amazed at my Virtue Audio and LAT cables. I don't think you need or want to buy silver cables (silver prices are insanely high right now) and I would think they'd sound terrific with you... | |

| Your Worst WAF Incident The look on her face when I drained our 401k monies and kids' college funds to buy 20 Shumann Resonators which I set up all around our condo. | |
| Speaker cable vibration? I can't hear the difference but I dampen the speaker cables to impress ;odie Foster. | |

| Itunes or Cds, the smartest purchase? For all the reasons stated, CDs hands down. I also like having something tangible. My teenaged kids, on the other hand, would never ever buy a CD. I don't think they've ever bought one and look at CDs the way I view 8 tracks. | |
| can this fact be accurate? Go to a newstand and see if you can find an audio magazine. I can't and I I often stop by newstands with hundreds of magazines and no Stereophile etc. Not a great harbinger.... | |
| can this fact be accurate? The average age of the hobbyist seems to be increasing. I don't see a lot of college kids into it. I live in Boston which is a huge university town and there are few stores left. The obsession with vinyl isn't helpful. | |
