Band with highest success/talent ratio?
In their heyday I would say Chicago. 
the guess who vs the rock and roll hall of fame
I agree about the Guess Who. But I think the biggest travesty is not having Chicago in. Granted they have not reased anything of quality since XI but they should be for their music when Terry Kath and Pete Cetera were with them. I have heard that ... 
ear care
I have used etymotic's earplugs for some time when mowing my lawn and using the snowblower. I also used them when I attended automotive auctions (I was a buyer for a new car dealership)where loud ambient noise is the norm. One thing I noticed is w... 
What tube amps for the Quad ELS 63
I used a Cayin 50 with great results in a smaller room. When the 63's went to the living room I used the Quad 909/99 with excellent results. I absolutely agree with an earlier post that the 63's should not be toe'd in...keep them square to the roo...

How long do you wait for a check to clear
I only accept paypal from verified address and USPS money orders as I was told by my local banks that they were the safest. But about 3 weeks ago, my shipping center that ships UPS/FedEx for me said there have been some counterfeit USPS money orde... 
Best audio time b4 even hearing of the sweet spot?
In college I had an Accuphase E-202 and a set of Frazier's (remember them?). They were similar to Klipsch LaScala's but with a piezo electric tweeter to fry your brain. We frequently played them outside the dorm and had people call in for specific... 
What Chores do Audiophiles Hate?
Burning the cd's and dvd-audios to the music server. Pain in the *** the first and hopefully last time.Printing a copy of music and video collection quarterly for insurance purposes. 
Decent Earbuds on the Cheap
