@mahgister, that was a beautiful and elegant post. I hope I can start to emulate that level of connection on a regular basis. Thank you. 
Can flexible power cables sound good?
I would agree with @richmos. Morrow produces a nice flexible product.  Don't have alot to compare to but I have been pleased. 
Your shipping wrecks. USPS,FED-EX and UPS
This is multifactorial.  Holiday rush, COVID making everyone buy online thus double if not triple the usual business, etc.  A single administrative policy or change in leadership could easily slow things to a halt in times like these.  I'm sure ju... 
Overrated/Underrated
I love my Schmitt Custom speaker cables.  Very nice Mom & Pop shop. Great customer service. 
What Audio Religion have you converted others to successfully?
I readily admit that my responses have bounced on and off sophomoric humor. However, lately some users seem to have had trouble discerning the reality of a privileged hobby from that of real life. Let's try not to offend anyone. Let's not get angr... 
McIntosh fuse changeout to make better sound
Hey UCDMAC 122005. I have thought the same question but haven't been forced to do anything yet as my MA2275 has been great. Rolled the tubes once so far and was happy with the outcome. Anyways, was considering changing out the fuse just to see. Ap... 
Openning a hi fi shop
"Relax. Alright. My old man is a television repairman. He has an ultimate set of tools. I can fix it." Not sure that has anything to do with this discussion, but isn't that just awesome! It is just great all by itself. 
Sorry, it’s not me, it’s you?
I have nothing else to compare to as  we live on a farm in the country. Everything I have purchased sounds awesome. Except this Lou Reed album "Winter At The Roxy, The 1976 L.A. Broadcast". What a piece of reproductive garbage. And I love Lou Reed... 
Experiences Selling Stuff On Audiogon?
@oldhvymec, I have really learned alot from your posts over the past few years. I am also a McIntosh guy. Thanks, for your well thought out previous discussions. I hope all is well. 
Whats your favourite track to play to the non hi-fi visitor?
Peter Gabriel - Biko. Stunning. 
Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state?
Can I get an explanation as to why one dealer has better tubes than another dealer presumably from the same manufacturers.  My only assumption would be that a set is matched or tested better at one dealer compared to another. Not being cynical. Tr... 
1st Post Intro & Ramblings
I'm sorry but I thought I got it at the beginning of the discussion but by the end I had no idea. 
You can Vote for Most Valuable Lead Vocals (Rock Groups)
mapman has a screw loose saying Colllins over Gabriel. Genesis is never Genesis without Gabriel. Simply put, a unique individual whom brought fame to a group that Collins rode home to the bank. Roger Daltry is symbolic as MVP vocalist. Robert Plan... 
Amp repair cost — is this right?
To me it is not about the actual cost but the cost down the line. Sure you can get it sent back. That will probably cost something. You can then factor in the frustration of dealing with the same questions over and over again. In the end you may s... 
Can anyone recommend an FM Receiver that would play into a relatively high end system?
McIntosh MR-78 without reservation.
