| What was your most disappointing album purchase? WHAT, nobody mentions the first couple of John & Yoko solo recordings? If it wasn't Lennon, those would have never been recorded or released. Totally unlistenable, even for nostalgia sake. I keep thinking my mint copies are going to be worth... | |
| How Do You Live The Audiophile Life Every time I visit another city I find the high end audio stores and go for a visit. Kick their tires and get a line on why they promote the products they promote. I find it very helpful | |
| Why don’t tube amps sound like tubes anymore? None of my McIntosh Tube components sound at all like Solid State. I think it entirely depends on the manufacturer of the products in question. I think some Amps have tubes for the look, not the sound | |

| Power Conditioners I had an AudioQuest Niagara 1200 on my system and it didn't do much for my sound. Moved it to the office system just for the surge protection. I'm a McIntosh tube guy. I just last month added a McIntosh MPC1500 Power Controller and it made the ... | |
| 12 years or 18 years? I'm in Atlanta, bourbon is my choice. The older the better, if I can afford it these days | |
| Top ten American composers/songwriters Yea for Zappa! I'm also a big fan of John Hiatt's work. Johnny Cash, for sure. Though I don't listen to him much, Kris Kristoferson is widely respected. Love Nick Lowe, but he has not really stretched beyond his era of popularity. I just don't... | |
| Considering A SS amplifier What are the sources of music you are listening to? Mostly digital or some analog (vinyl)? That should be a factor as well. | |
| How I spent my time at home Oh, and falling, again, for Pattie Boyd. | |
| How I spent my time at home I love your #6! My issue totally. Cramped spaces and lots of cables! | |
