Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK?
I'm surprised that so many members are responding to this stupid question.  
exceptional voices of female singers (non-classical)
Hi Al,Thanks for the heads up. I'm a little ashamed to admit that at 63 I have heard of the Seekers, but nothing beyond that except for maybe Georgy Girl. I just ordered a best of CD with the songs you mentioned from Amazon prime for 8.99.John

I'll check out Judith Durham All, because I trust you, and I certainly agree with Connie Francis, she's a natural.I would like to add Mary Fahl of October Project. A beautifully pure but smoky voice. I really don't know of another voice like hers.  
Room color opinions
It doesn't affect sound, only your perception of sound. 
Greatest Rock Drummers
audiozen,Sounds like you were lucky to see them on a special night. I would like to add that Carl Palmer is proficient with a one-handed roll.  
Tom Petty: It was an "accidental" OD
Interesting and touching posts from everyone. Thanks. 
How important is the rack you use for your components
Wow! It's great to hear your voice again Elizabeth! It's been way too long. John  
SELLERS encouraged to stop accepting Paypal!!
dill,The point you make isn't the point. The OP is frustrated because paypal was negligent and screwed him. I had a similar experience. I have to grin when I read posts from some members above saying how they never had a negative experience, and w... 
Speaker boxes. To rebuild or not to rebuild
Based on most Technics speaker cabinets I've seen over the years,  I can't see how it would be worth the effort or investment.

Really beautiful. 
Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?
bassdude,I'm in no way trying to say that those and many other similar speakers aren't world-class. I am just poking fun at the silliness of using science based arguments to prove that something,(in this case, speakers) isn't good when in actual u... 
Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?
kosst_amojan says:"If you're listening to a pair of Klipsch, you're listening to a speaker that incorporates every failing he (Linkwitz) points out."What Linkwitz doesn't point out is that in spite of all these failings, they sound damn good! It's... 
Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?
I think that an all-horn system would be ideal, but as a user of a hybrid system myself, I have to say that it can do a very good job as well. Consider that with the one compression driver covering all of the treble and midrange, it already has an... 
Elekit TU-8600 or ANK Kit 1?
I have owned the Kit 1 with C cores for several years. It is a great amp,  as you said,  beautiful as well and very reliable.  Wonderfully natural,  focused and spacious sound, and good low bass too! I would recommend it.

prof,What I hear is obviously all that matters to me. I am listening to music, not conducting an experiment in a laboratory for the benefit of others.When I purchased a rack that was better than the Target rack that I had used for many years, I wa...
