| Was 1971 the high point of popular music? @waytoomuchstuff I believe that we are in total agreement. That long period was like a comet. It came into view, burned bright and slowly faded. Fortunately, there are still some interesting things happening here and there in new music, and we s... | |
| Was 1971 the high point of popular music? @waytoomuchstuff I understand what you are saying very well, and I agree that there were some very good bands making some memorable popular, and even progressive music at that time, but for me, it was also a somewhat sad time, because the explos... | |
| Why isn't better quality used gear being made available? @mlsstl Yes, he stirs the pot by pretending to be clueless or naive about his chosen subject. That's his method. | |
| Why isn't better quality used gear being made available? Congrats @emergingsoul ! Another nutty thread that has no basis in reality. I want to be kind, but it's so hard when you make such a ridiculous statement. | |
| Holiday Habits and Pleasures @hifiguy42 I understand your thoughts a little better now. Thanks, @thecarpathian I was thinking the very same thing! It's gone nuts in the last few years. Where do people put all of those headstones and skeletons? | |
| Poor man's Bosch system? What's a Bosch system, and what do you mean by an alternative system if he already has two? Also, I think you mean Cornwall. | |
| Does it bother you when you see inflated MSRP’s for used gear on AG? Price is one thing, but condition grading is what gets me steamed. Calling 40 year old amps a "9" and so on. I send corrective messages to sellers on a regular basis. Sometimes they thank me, and other times they ask if I'm interested in buying th... | |
| ***Seasons Greetings A'goners***Are You Getting Any New Gear For Christmas*** My birthday is in December, and my combined birthday/Christmas present was a Conrad Johnson Premier 11a with the teflon capacitor upgrade and KT120 tubes. I wanted this amp like I wanted to breathe when it came out because of all of the good thi... | |
| Holiday Habits and Pleasures @hifiguy42 It might be good for you and your family if you re-examine your thoughts and feelings about the Christmas season. I was raised as a Catholic but stopped believing in the "fairytale" as you call it when I was still just a boy. In spite... | |
| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. @bluorion I agree. That disc is a great piece of art, It's not a very happy work, but some of the best music isn't. | |
| How to make your amp more expensive @erik_squires In your thread title, did you mean to say feel more expensive, due to the increased weight? | |
| What's the best and/or favorite piece of equipment you've owned? And do you still own it? @reched I owned the large floor standing TDL Monitors for years and really enjoyed them. Your speakers are a predecessor and also really good. | |
| Black Pumas On Tour Now A lot of money for a band that I never heard of. | |
| Mono block amplifiers from VAC and McIntosh. Speaker ideas? Keep the McIntosh, get rid of the Macintosh. | |
| Have At Err! I saw the t shirt and I got an impression. I listened to what he had to say, and it was confirmed. He's a dope. |
