Burning coxial antenna cable on a cooker.
Good move, Alan! It would have to be someone who's really into tuners, like Sedond...All I have is an old Pioneer 6500 tuner I bought at a pawn shop for $20--it is in *mint* shape, though. I just won an indoor Sony FM antenna on eBay. Nothing extr...

Where have the long-time regulars gone?
Audiogon will stay as the premier high end trading outlet, but the forums will just keep deteriorating. Answer: censorship--I mean, "moderator approval". Just look at an uncensored forum like Harmonic Discord and compare it to this... 
How do you determine your weakest link?
Onhwy61 has explained this perfectly. It's the room and the recordings what basically limits a system. One can work w/ the room, but not w/ the recordings. That is unless one wants to become a freak who listents to crap music that has been well re...
