How much is about the recording
Tomcarr and tooblue, for comparison, would you mind providing a few examples of recordings you have that fall into each of your A, B, C, and D categories. Don’t know what you listen to, but if you could pick a few examples of recordings that are f... 
Luxman 509x vs Hegel H390
Google pictures of the internal wiring of the Japanese made Luxman 509 versus the Chinese made Hegel 390 and speculate on that evidence alone which has the build quality most likely to serve you best and longest. That Hegel seems to promote they a... 
Hard of hearing
My late wife used to use Bluetooth headphones to listen to television. That seemed to work well for her, and myself as well, as she no longer had to play the TV at high volume to not struggle to hear it. There were no delay issues with the Bluetoo... 
Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band.
Larsman, that’s off Nick Gravenites "My Labors " album. Is one of a few cuts from Mike Bloomfield’s Fillmore concerts with his vocals that didn’t make the "Live at Bill Grahams Fillmore West" album. Some duplicates too on the CD version. A few oth...

Great story Eric. You've been to some terrific shows. You're lucky to have seen Hendrix too before he passed.  Mike

One other thing bdp4. I’m jealous you got to see Mike Bloomfield and the Electric Flag. How was that Electric Flag show. What a fabulous and original blues guitarist. to have seen. His Live at Bill Graham’s Filmore West album is an all time favori...

Bdp24, sorry you missed your chance to see Levon at his Midnight Ramble. Levon’s passing was a great loss. The Band, when together, put on a terrific show. I was lucky enough to have caught a concert of theirs at C.W. Post College on Long Island b...

Here’s some miscellaneous, not so close encounters with The Band and The Byrds both. I attended the upstate NY State University College at New Paltz in the early seventies. My girlfriend and I had a friend then who commuted to school from Woodstoc... 
Does dose anyone see these speakers in real?
Good one Nonoise.   
Anyone know where the Virtual Systems went?
When I clicked onto Tablejockey’s Profile page, no Virtual System pictures or links to them show up. On Twoleftears and Noromance’s Profile Pages the System pictures are right there on the Profile Page. It might be Tablejockey hasn’t posted any pi... 
Rant against the industry with hopes for discussion on positive change
No reason to keep those youngsters around anyway if they prefer streaming and X-boxes. You should be catering to the rest of us geriatric cases instead. We are definitely older and wiser in every way.  
Lyra Cartridges
Fair warning on ordering from Lyra. I ordered a new Lyra Kleos cartridge from a well known dealer over five months ago. It still hasn't come in from Japan. Don't know what the hold-up may be. Checking in with the dealer a month or so ago garnered ... 
For those of you who had spent over hundred thousand dollars for your sound system.
My regret is not having the $100,000, or even $50,000 to spend on a system to be qualified to contribute to this thread.  
Bookshelf Speakers Transport by Airplane - Checked or Hand Luggage
Is a road trip out of the question? I love long drives and the things you can see and experience on the way, especially on off the beaten path routes. But not everyone does and gas is so expensive nowadays. Just a stray thought.  Mike  
Billie or Ella? Maria or Renata? Technique or feeling?
Frogman, very nice selections all. Thanks for posting them. Lester Young is a particular favorite and it was nice to hear him playing alongside Ella. I love any of  the music where he accompanied Billie Holiday too. Both he, Coltrane and Charlie P...
