| Full circle and thinking about speakers "Especially in your price range where Eric Alexander (of Tekton) has that market nailed down. "......... now that is some funny stuff......and not even for the statement’s absurdity but rather how transparent and, almost, strident the Tekton "shil... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Gonna emphatically second Al Stewart's "Past Present and Future" and Graham Parker's "Squeezing Out Sparks". | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear The first 10 songs on Let's Active's 1986's "Big Plans For Everybody" is pretty much can't miss. | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Nice calls all around. Yup, Argus's "The King Will Come" is a fun song that has a very catchy hook. And Chris Squire's "Fish Out Of Water" is a borderline masterpiece, especially if you like incredible and melodic bass. | |

| Is Carl Bernstein an Audiophile? - Bernstein to CNN during the 2018 Ukraine scandal, there were "echos" of Watergate" and it was "perhaps worse in some regards." - Bernstein in 2017 regarding the firing of FBI Director James Comey as "potentially more dangerous" than Watergate.- ... | |

| Your shipping wrecks. USPS,FED-EX and UPS LOL with the blaming Trump thing....you realize that Amazon pays a fraction of the USPS postage per package that we plebs and other smaller companies do. Yet the USPS service still runs at a large annual deficit that the public increasingly subsid... | |
