"Tell the industry what you want" postingboard
It's already being done. It's called sales success. If we want it we buy it - if not, we don't. Instant feedback to the industry telling them what we want.

Baiting or trolling Emorawski? 
subwoofers and panels don't mix
Martin Logans and Revels are a fine match thank you. 
Wood blocks underneath components?? snake oil?
Let's see if I've got this right -1) Vibration induced into a component's chassis can be heard through the system in some form, and it's a bad thing. 2) Wooden blocks modify the frequency depending on the type of wood used, which will induce a cha... 
I think it is time to retire
Mdhoover - I say a bumper sticker the other day along the lines of what you said."When I was your age, as least I didn't suck"I think I'll pick one up just to embarress my kids. 
does a stereo system sound like live music ?
At the risk of being viewed as a pariah, multichannel does a much better job of replicating a live performance than two channel.As mentioned above, soundstaging is a figment of imagination that lives only in a stereo system, not the real world, bu... 
how do cable variables contribute to cable sound
Ridgestreet - 10 paragraphs to say that you can't say - free exposure is one thing, but 10 paragraphs is pushing it more than a bit, no?Look, you can say this tends to sound this way, and that tends to sound that way without giving away the farm. ... 
Wood blocks underneath components?? snake oil?
I always like the "I don't believe in dbt - I know what I hear" (I just don't have the cojones to objectively prove it apparently). Sorbothane is most effective against vibration, but apparently many don't like it - go figureThe emperor is naked, ... 
Time to sell my dvd collection?
I agree with you Holeneck - HD will take over within some time (let's agree to look back at this thread and laugh on 2 May, 2011), but the process will be painful thanks again to Sony.Elcasette, Beta, SACD - how many times do they need to learn th... 
how do cable variables contribute to cable sound
As noted Tvad, that was my point to Mrtennis here - that this would seem to be one of the threads where there could actually be some value to contributions from cable guys, giving their experience, but hopefully not more "shameless plugs".BTW, "op... 
how do cable variables contribute to cable sound
My Mrtennis, you certainly have been busy in the short time you've been in these threads, but your topics are usually quite interesting and insightful. Keep 'em coming.One item though - in the one regarding "line cord affecting frequency response"... 
I think it is time to retire
Donald Fagen? The latest album is all-right, not what I was hoping for but OK, but apparently you missed Everything Must Go and Two Against Nature, released within the last couple of years.Sure glad he didn't decide to hang-them-up before he got t... 
Time to sell my dvd collection?
If you want to replace them with HD when they're available then sell. If you don't watch them anyway then you've answered your own question notwithstanding the HD situation.Hard to understand why you'd consider keeping them if they'll be obsolete,... 
Help Me Explain Power Cables to my Guitar Friends
While I absolutely agree that the vast majority of claims for power cords are absolute nonsense, when I brought home my Marchall amp for the first time there was a loud oscillating hum. Back to Guitar Center it went, where we couldn't duplicate th... 
Do any of you fear dismantling your setups?
It's time to get a life Foster. The ski season in North America is almost over, and I pray to the Ski Gods to give me another season, 9 months from now, where perfect turns will protect me from a life/death defying vertical assault.If speaker cabl...
