Can You Fell the Love Tonight?
I felled it a while back. Now that I am 49, I only feel it. Peace and love! 
Best audio tweak ever, especially for the over 60s
The only thing that should go in your ear is your elbow! 
Business Ethics in the Audio Industry
I don't find it unethical at all. Actually I see it as quite ethical in the fact they reimbursed your card. A nice business move would have been to offer you the upgraded component at the same price though certainly not obligated to.  If it were m... 
Who are the Kings of Audiogon?
As far as most entertaining, I would have to say @ czarivey makes me laugh the most! Where have you been lately @ czarivey? 
Power amps into surge protector/Conditioner or DIRECT to wall? Final verdict?
Adding to the commentary on a general level since I do not own a high end power conditioner. I had a main surge protector installed on to the electric panel of the house. Great $450 investment in my mind. Then my DISH got hit by lightning which wa...

BUY Bryston!!!!!
Here is a positive statement on McIntosh's customer service. I bought a minimally used  5 year old MA-2275 but the tube cover could not be found. It was a good deal so bought anyways. Looked on line for months and could not find a replacement. Cal...

Savoy Brown, "Looking In". Outstanding! 
A very good ENGINEERING explanation of why analog can not be as good as digital..
I like chocolate cake. My wife likes vanilla cake. My kids like marbled cake as long as it has frosting with sprinkles. 
Could I be a Retail Wretch?
I would say that when it comes to supporting our locally owned businesses, I find it wrong to sample from one and then buy online. I am not going to claim that it is morally or ethically wrong as I would not think this discussion goes to that extr... 
Greatest debut album
That was awesome on Jagged Little Pill. Completely forgot about that. When I started the post I really didn't mean from a historical perspective. I really just meant from a personal perspective and seems most responded as such and left a ton of gr... 
$10k Speaker Cables??????????????
I do not debate that there is importance in discussing the pros and cons of products. The price of those products is an important aspect of that back and forth. However, I do not agree that we should be producing such condescending vitriol about t...
