Old or new gear
Not trying to push you in any particular direction, but I have Primaluna Dialogue HP Integrated, and I love it.  The sound with F208s is spectacular.

Best and Worst Rock Concert Moments
Here's one of my favorite times... although not a large concert.  At a small local venue, Rickie Lee Jones was playing.  Dakota Jazz Club is a small place, like 300 or 400 people, and more like a supper club than a concert hall.  Great place for a... 
Why does the power cord on my new Samsung Samart TV detach?
