Fav Consecutive Albums by An Artist
Thanks Treyhoss, I'd forgotten To Our Children's Children's Children. This was a great run indeed. 
The triumph of mid-fi
Thanks Tok. I may not have been very clear though. You are absolutely right that a new standard could not be easily established by any but the mighty. However, why can't a consortium of high end companies do a better job with SACD and/or DVD-A tha... 
The triumph of mid-fi
Rmueller raises a good point. If it takes big bucks to do SACD or DVD-A, what's stopping some high end manufacturers from forming a joint venture or a consortium? Lazy? Distrustful? Not motivated enough since they are selling plenty of high end re... 
Fav Consecutive Albums by An Artist
Absolutely agree with Zeppelin. For King Crimson, did Islands precede Larks Tongue? If so, I would add that to the list. For Little Feat, I would include Time Loves a Hero. I would add Pink Floyd (everything from Meddle through Division Bell) and ...

Why Don't More People Love Audio?
Tommy, you are not alone. There has been a lot of discussion here about critical listening vs. pure enjoyment of the music (btw, they are not necessarily separable). There's nothing wrong with appreciating the quality of your system and enjoying t...

HELP: Tweaking my system is killing my back...
Yes, get a more comfortable chair that provides decent back support. Alternatively, perhaps you could start a new trend and develop a number of very quiet exercises that can be done while listening to music. Something to keep the muscles moving an...

Belated Farewell
It's interesting how people we don't know can touch us by opening up and sharing who they are. I wasn't aware of the site you mention. Thanks. 
Amplifier Hum
I've got the same issue with some very large torodial transformers. It's worse when the oven or microwave are on (even with dedicated lines!). The manufacturer told me it was dc voltage in the lines and there's nothing I could do. Anyone know if s... 
And What Did You Get Your Wife For Christmas?
