Essential Zappa: what's missing from my collectio
I'm a Zappa fan too, saw him live several times. When I feel like Zappa instrumental, I turn to The Grand Wazoo. I've been listening to it for 30+ years, and I'm not sick of it yet. 
Quick poll How long have you been in this hobby?
1973. Came out of college, sold my the new car my dad gave me, and bought a McIntosh 2100, a pair of Klipschorns, a Phase Linear 2000 preamp, and Pioneer PL-12D turntable. I was in heaven. 
Oxidation, how to prevent?

Your favorites amplifiers for their visual look ?

Tel Wire: underrated, underpriced.
I don't doubt that Tel Wire makes a good product, but I went on their website, and they are by no means cheap. For the price they are asking, they should be good. 
Rest in peace Doug Fieger
Not every band or album that becomes an overnight sensation is worthy of the attention it receives, but that album was a really fresh take on power Pop-Rock. It still sounds fresh today. Rest In Peace Doug. 
Leslie & Corky - Need I saw any more, again???
I saw them the weekend before last at the Scottish Rite Temple in Collingswood NJ, and I have a different take on the evening.First, I want to say that I did enjoy it, and it was really good to see the guys again. I felt really old when I realized... 
Dahlquist crossover upgrade from Regnar?
I think that if you look at the individual caps and resistors they will have the values printed on them. Mine did. While I was in there, I also put some scraps of sorbothane sheet that I had hanging around between the crossover board and the speak...
