What to do with a large collection
Vinyl records are not recyclable in normal recycling streams because they are made of PVC.  I would think a classical CD collection would sell as a lot, or subdivided into smaller batches (by label, composer, conductor) on ebay. I have purchased l... 
Will audio gear be ok in unheated house
Maybe not the same issues, but I used a vacuum cleaner and seal-able bags, sourced from my mother in law, when we put the "stereo" in storage during our big "expedition". I'm pretty sure it got well below freezing in the unit. Everything survived ...

I watched The Song Remains The Same (off of You Tube on the desk top-- Tom Verlaine's  Television is the only TV in my house) and I realized it was a much better movie all those years ago when I was stoned. Plant & Krause was a delightful surp... 
Evaluating Equipment-induced EMI noise in one’s audio system

Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums?
I'm a DIY guy out of financial necessity. I make my cables, out of the best Beldon or Cardas I can afford, with the best hardware I can put my hands on. I freely admit I have copied commercial maker's designs. I have recapped both of my Kenwood KD... 
"Hardly Used / Less than 100 Hours / Took out for pics only"????
What ever happened to "Rode hard and put away wet?"  truth in advertising is an oxymoron.  
Bose 901 Series V Questions
I got to be on a first name basis with the apartment manager and a few of the local constabulary with introductions handled by a pair of 901's. They were hung from the ceiling in the reflex position. As I recall the Bose pre ran through an SAE 210... 
Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums?
Yup. Civility is dead. Several months ago I read a comment, or a post, from an audiophile even older that I am, who was wondering how to re calibrate suggested stylus force numbers to "wet". Man oh man, did the flamers come out. If it hadn't been ... 
Table,cartridge,phono...where to put most of my money?
I'm in the stick with digital camp. I am of that generation that came up with vinyl and tape. Digital sounds a little harsh to me, yet I have CD's out the ying yang. I do stream a little; mostly to audition music I would like to own. I wonder some...

I also have tinnitus, here's my path...I do listen to one or more of my systems most of my non at work life. First thing was adjusting my expectations regarding "perfection" and I recalibrated my Enjoyment Meter (too many of us think a thing is th...
