Wow an old album that rocked your world
Great examples I’m glad to see this site is about the music as much as the faithful reproduction of it. Keep it going   We have no hobby with out it. Happy listening  
Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz.
Baby steps brother start with a Lyle Lovett and his large band. There’s blues country and Jazz. Don’t get overwhelmed out of the gate. Great recording and great music. Don’t rush Coltrane and Davis. It will come later. Trust me.  
How to remove ground pin on power cable
Yikes if you insist on the removal of the ground pin at least install a GFCI receptacle in the place of the standard outlet. In the event your sub has an issue it will trip before any damage to person or property. Some of you do not have the under... 
Anyone else grateful that they got hooked on this crazy addiction

Magnepan 1.7 i - Amp suggestions
Anything tube. I have the 1.7i and I drive them with a 100amp ARC amp. And have no issues. I use a Goldenear sub and I love the sound. But like all high end audio it doesn’t lie. Bad recordings sound bad and great recordings sound great. Keep list... 
Most annoying song, period.
Sooo much rubbish it modern pop. The list would go on and on like the music does.  You all know the music.  
Old school analog system
Glad to see us old audiophiles still look at the old days with fondness. I owned the AR11s, Pioneer, JBL, and yes the Stanton 681EEE with the ball and brush on the end. Fun times. I also owned the AR turntable only it had an infinity black widow t...
