Another good point Mickeyf. Animals do what animals do - there is no morality, respect etc. I have had pets all of my life - they do not 'respect' somebody's speakers and if they tear up the speakers or chew up the $1000 headphones they are not a ...

Typical of extremists and totalitarians - Mickeyf's post was a harmless joke - as was my post - indeed, my post was prompted by the initial response to Mickeyf's post. 
This is no joke.
Oh, I tend to agree with Mickeyf - with the possible exception of predrilling the cats and using a small dowel and glue rather than nails - just better aesthetically. 
Mesa Boogie Strategy 400
In general, the desirable characteristics of a guitar amp are different than those of an an amp for music listening at home or in the recording studio. The sought after features of a guitar amp have to do with what distortion it can produce. A cle... 
The Hub: Just how bad is it in high end audio?
Part of it is the downturn in the economy but this is magnified by changes in technology, a shift in how people consume music and the more effective marketing strategy that has accompanied that shift. I see a wide variety of people still consuming... 
"They are here" vs. "You are there"
I don't think we're in Kansas anymore 
No reforming of Led Zep apparently
If LZ is going to reform then do it right - dig Bonham up and just strap whats left of him to the drums. Couldn't be any worse than the Who at the Super Bowl. They need to drop stairway to heaven and try escalator to heaven - the ones that are sti... 
hearing tests - where and how?
Addendum: correction to previous post. I stated "Have you gone to the libraries to see if there is any research in this area? It appears that you are conceding that there is not.". This should read "Have you gone to the libraries to see if there i... 
hearing tests - where and how?
Learsfool: Have you gone to the libraries to see if there is any research in this area? It appears that you are conceding that there is not. As far as your comment that you are surprised that a person with an engineering background would make the ... 
Album which you have listened to most?
not even close for me - The White Album. I friend brought it over the day after it first hit the record store and from then over the next 15 years I bought probably 5 copies of the record (tending to leave it along with everything else as I moved ... 
hearing tests - where and how?
Kr4 is correct on all points in this discussion. After spending many years in the field of biomedical engineering and having read hundreds of engineering as well as medical journal articles I can attest to the fact that if there is a topic that is... 
omnivore newbie's dilemma
Have to agree with Xti16. The primary effect of tubes comes into play when the amp is driven hard enough to distort. Actually, below that level a well designed tube amplifier should sound no different than a solid state amp (listen to a mcintosh s... 
What music do you want to play really loud?
"My favorite things" from the soundtrack of The Sound of Music - you know "Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens" rock on dude!!! Metal out with Julie Andrews and the Von Trapps!!! True 60's psychadelic - if you remember the movie then you we... 
hearing tests - where and how?
Good luck on finding an audiologist who tests above 8k. There is a legitimate reason for that. The profession serves a community of persons whose hearing actually causes a problem with their daily life - up to about 4k is all that is important in ... 
what to do with my cat on my speaker grills
A little aversion therapy. Set the cat up like Alex in A Clockwork Orange (strapped in, eyes held open etc) Inject a little anti-catnip about 30 minutes beforehand. Then just set up a photograph of him scratching the speaker right in front of him....
