Which artists do you just not get?
I wonder if this question shouldn't be: What bands are out there that just have no substance, but reviewers still have to try to justify their existance??? Maybe we try to read thing into people or bands that are just shallow and meaningless. It's...

I hope this isn't going to be resolved so easily. There needs to be much more debate before any resolution can be reached.

Where do you draw the line???
I have no problem listening to my system because I like it very much, but people like TWL (are there more people like him???) probably would not like my system. That doesn't make him bad, or my system bad. Tom and I both enjoy music very much, but... 
Where do you draw the line???
Onhwy61 says: If the difference between a $20,000 and a $30,000 system really was "huge", then the difference between a $7,500 and a $75,000 system must be "hyper-mega-bodacious-gargantuan".This is the point I've been trying to make all along! I d... 
Which components knocked you out on first listen?
One could argue that this is not a componant, but I would disagree. The best componant I have ever heard was a pair of Purist Dominus interconnects. See my review if you are interested.The cables knocked me out! Chin on floor amazement! Superlativ...

If you guys have actually been 'on' the phone, I think you've been using it wrong. Isn't that kind of uncomfortable??? 
Where do you draw the line???
I would lose the Sony in favor of a good TT first. Then I would buy a phono section and a good pre-amp.I couldn't comment on a Lexus since I don't drive Japanese cars (good engineering, lousy materials, styles are ripoffs of German cars) but I hav... 
Building a dedicated room
The best advice, and the most help I got was from Rives. They know what they are doing! Get as much info from them as you can.

I respond humbly to this most significant of questions; it is possible to be on AudiogoN, but I have never been 'at' AudiogoN. To be 'at' a place requires being in the physical location. Being 'on' AudiogoN means accessing their website, or as pre... 
Where do you draw the line???
If I ever have to rent a car in Denver, we'll go for a ride! 
Where do you draw the line???
I flew into Houston a couple of months ago. The reason for the flight was a wedding in Nacogdoches. Since there is a significant distance between the two cities I arranged for a rental car. I have an American made motorcycle and an American made t... 
setting up a listening room in unfinished basement
You situation is similar to mine. This should be helpful http://www.rivesaudio.com! Some of the best money spent goes into the room, not on the rack. 
Where do you draw the line???
If a $75,000 system doesn't sound better than a $15,000 system the person who bought it is stupid, as are the people who designed and manufactured it.Using this logic does that mean that a $75,000 car is not better than a $15,000, or a $75,000 hou... 
Where do you draw the line???
A fact is a provable point. The point can be proved by anyone with right equipment. Facts and opinions are not interchangable. If a $30,000 system cannot be proven to be better than a $15,000 system it is not better!I had a $15,000 system. I now o...
