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.  
If you could, what live performances would you enjoy re-living?
There are some truly amazing responses here. Some of which I was just a baby for so could never have experienced but still extremely envious of My 2 completely unique experiences would have been Phish at a roller rink in Buffalo around 1991. There... 
Who are your three favorite female singers?
1. Natalie Merchant2. Carole King3. Stevie Nicks 
Poor Fritz
Enough of the Kenjit hate. Who really cares what he says. If someone buys based on his diatribe, then so be it. It is what it is. We are all adults here. Let your wallet do the talking. 
Audiophiles must be careful with their remotes, vs. items on ebay.
Could be wrong but I suspect quite a few sellers intentionally withhold the remote and sell it separately at a later time.  
Think fast: What would you take?
We all know the correct answer. Family, pets, documents, photos. Having lived through 3 hurricane evacuations, I would say there are some material things that will help you rebuild your life sooner. Amp #1. Speakers #2 if you love them. Everything... 
It is not you, the sound really is getting worse
When I went to see "Mother", I had the same experience.  If it were not for the fact that the movie was so beyond brilliant, I would have left over the sound quality in the theater.  It was ear shattering noise.  Maybe that was the point during so... 
Analog or Digital and why?
Okie dokie, this is only one comparison. DSOTM on SACD versus DSOTM on vinyl doesn't compare. Have a decent system to give each a fair shake. In non-technical lingo, analog just sounds more real. 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
@boxer12, I think I moved 7 times between college and now.  Put them away and always brought them with me.  Wasn't until I had a decent system up and running that did I think about them again.  Bought a basic Sony deck at a Goodwill and realized h... 
Mahavishnu fans only
Limited experience but when I have listened I have been wowed.  Thank you for reminding me that I need to make a stronger effort to pick up their recordings. 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
@boxer12, one of my favorite Morning Dews.  Could listen endlessly. 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Got a bunch of my Dead bootlegs on those Sonys.  Awesome cassettes.  Well really not bootlegs but you get my point.  Tonight got on Tool "Aenima".  I am not a metal head but there is something about Tool.  Their rhythm is hypnotic even for how har...
