| Jazz for aficionados Has anyone noticed how "fundamentally" different we are from the rest of the Agoners? That's a reality we have to face. The people who we love and miss, as opposed to the people "they" love and miss, is the best example I can think of. When the... | |

| They Almost Never Quote A Price , Why? The title of this thread is "They almost never quote prices" and you say "Prices are not cool to rap about dude!!"; that sounds like a contradiction to me. Could you elaborate? | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... There is a lot of "Group Think" going on here in this "inner sanctum". If you can get so much for one pound of money, you can get twice as much for two pounds of money, is one example.Since group think is responsible for a high rate of death duri... | |
| They Almost Never Quote A Price , Why? "I can buy 100K speakers i" ; would you buy 100K speakers, are 100K speakers in your present budget? | |

| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? The same assumption could be made in regard to tube and SS; although in a bedroom system an SS amp would outweigh tubes based on practicality.I believe the most valid observations are those that are made "unconsciously"; for example, that's how I ... | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? Parkinen, I don't think anyone will challenge that.. | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? Why did everybody have to have a CD player when they came out?Why did everybody buy CD's when they cost over $20. with so few titles available, and a new record $7.Why did so many people sell their records?Only people in the "High End" knew that a... | |
