| Classical Music for Aficionados What a great thread and so many great pieces. I started listening to classical seriously when I was in Jr High and was at a JC, somewhere in PA where I heard a quartet playing Pachabel I believe. It was great so when I returned home I found a rad... | |
| When choosing new Speakers, what matters most to you? That’s a very long question but for me, it is a simplified answer. I start my search comparing the specs, but that is not how I prefer to choose my speakers, those are just numbers on a fact sheet. I have listened to the speakers with the better s... | |

| I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s. michaelsherry59 thanks for the laugh, I think I’m going to hangout on your lawn for awhile. You sound butt hurt. I sure as hell can state that Aretha, Diana Ross, Ray O, and the rest were within my generation performing. They may have started in y... | |
| I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s. Don’t feel sorry for Gen X-1965 1970 Gen Xer’s got to experience many of those very acts during the early years of the 70’s and even into the 80’s. We also got to experience Punk (American and British) Arena Rock - The Who, Led Zepplin, , AC/DC, ... | |
| Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire? I have to throw my 2 schillings into the hat, I have been into home audio since I was 17.

| Tubes for Magnepan’s. The bast most transparent system I’ve ever heard was Conrad Johnson tube pre amp and tube amplifier with Maggie’s...it was like being in front center row of a jazzy night club...I have not yet found a system that equals it, closest I’d Sonus Faber... | |
| Stratospheric audio gear prices I see your point, but the reality is, these products are not being targeted necessarily for the audiophile, they are going after the affluent egos...the ones that have to have the most expensive show cased in their multi million dollar mansions...... | |

I watch Gene, I watch the videos when he reviews RBH speakers because that’s what I use...as far as the chicken and the egg argument, I was once on the chicken side-cables don’t matter. I started off with two channel receivers and used zip cord 18... | |
| VINYL SUCKS! No two audio enthusiasts will ever agree on the greatest music playback system ever, but let’s take a look at vinyl vs the others. Vinyl was nearly put out to pasture by compact discs. We were all sold on the idea they were indestructible, well ho... | |
| The Lifespan of an LP? You will wear out your stylus before you will wear down the vinyl. I have some records that are over 40-55 years old and still sound great.. | |
