How do you know when a stereo sounds good?
Well, without reading all the answers, it's when I can crank it up, go into another room in the house and my ears think it sounds like there is a band playing live in the living room.  The genre really doesn't matter but especially with Jazz or Cl... 
Great song to test bass
Not a really great Tube vid but check out Henrik Linder’s work. @ about 1:50 He’s a beast.  Yes, that's a Gaga cover.....    
How long do good speakers last?
My DQ10's still sound wonderful.  All original except a re-foam.  They could be 40 yo...... 
How many watts??
I own a set of Dahlquist DQ10s....a notoriously hard to drive speaker.  Before I bought them, did some research.  Everyone kept saying, "you need at LEAST 200 watts to drive them".  I had no desire to purchase one of those arc welding, heat produc... 
You own a store, you sell 2 brands, which?
Dahlquist and NAD.....  I think these would be reasonably affordable to any schmo.  And great sound for the buck. 
Biggest "bang for the buck" audio gear you have owned(in your history)?
I think the Thorens TD-160 I bought around '75...can't recall the price.  And most recently DQ 10's-$375 and a vintage Proton D540 with the Dynamic Power on Demand feature-$159.  Biggest sounding little amp I've ever heard. 
Why does a dent to a tweeter not affect sound quality?
Tubebuffer....that's about the craziest thing I've read on here...haha! 
The stereo sounds fine, music is great, but Jeff Bezos came back to earth.
Too bad....I was kinda hoping one of those oversize windows would blow out.   
Everybody’s Top 5 - Vinyl
I could never narrow it down to 5 but I'll put The Plasmatics in the top 10. 
Flipping record causing series of loud pops
Well, like a couple mentioned....mute or volume at zero before flipping or changing the source.  Sounds like a static thing.... 
Open Baffle Opinions - I Won't go back to Boxed Speakers Evr Again (maybe....)
I don't process some of the technical jargon in this post but isn't the open baffle concept what the Dahlquist DQ 10 was trying to accomplish?  I own a pair and they sound fabulous..  Just curious.... 
How loud are you typically listening?
Well, it depends on how much I've had to drink.....and the genre!   
VINYL SUCKS!
He's a dope.....I have some LP's that sound fabulous.  And some that sound like absolute crap....  Same goes for CDs.  I don't stream anything.  If you have a great 'system', it will reveal the how badly a recording was made and mastered, in eithe... 
Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital"
@ richmos Thank you!  "This entire debate over vinyl vs digital, and for me digital is CD or SACD...I don't stream music; seems to ignore the fact that all we listen to is dependent on the recording process. The studio, the recording equipment, ... 
What's the best and/or favorite piece of equipment you've owned? And do you still own it?
Dahlquist DQ10s I acquired a few years ago.....amazing
