Another aspect of this question; how many albums do you own that you actually like every single track on the album. Or maybe you bought it for one particular track and that turned out to be the only one you liked! Of course, that second aspect is ... 
Worst Speakers Ever??
Utah MK-80. Big, ugly, and horribly hard to drive.   
Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home?

I need a extension cord with

A listening test of two power amps
surdo; You actually played it well. This forum has it's share of haters and naming your gear will usually open you up to a kick in the nads from at least one or two of them. You're still getting a good taste of that even without brands. I for one ... 
Are You a Swifty?
I couldn't say as I have honestly never heard her sing. I stopped listening to radio in 2002 when Sirius XM debuted, and I don't watch talent reality shows. I never had any use for Madonna, J Lo, or Beyonce either, and Taylor looks to be a continu...
