Recordings by Elton John, Nirvana and Thousands More Lost in Fire
Lost treasures indeed.  
LOUD popping Rogue Magnum
Record the event for the tech.   As said above, get it fixed. 
What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak?
Audio magazines.  There are articles I feel the expert writer is concerned with the word count over the content.  Many times has the article had the "I, Me, Mine" focus then wrote about the subject of review.  Unless the information pertains direc... 
Digital room correction
The Men220 gives you good options.  It is a box that I use. 
Ordered my new amp today... been a long road!
Rock On! 
Good Inexpensive Amp for Back Yard Speakers
I agree with tpreaves...A good Adcom can be purchased for a few dollars.  I did a backyard setup using with an Onkyo M-5010. Rock on. 
Spade vs bare wire
Like Fliz I tried it all.  I feel the method of binding to the speaker ends is the critical part.  Crummy connections = Crummyniss regardless of the chosen end.   
How come Horn + woofer designs are not more popular?

I recently rolled to JJ's  Natural rich sound - Medium. 
Value, if any, of vintage TT and tone arm.
Takes you back to the yesteryears.If you use it keep it. 
Any experience with Tube rolling 6922 for Conrad Johnson preamp?
I pushed them all around while tube rolling.  These tubes can be readily aquired at reasonable costs.  When rolling, I use to make a note card detailing each tube.  Let your ears judge each. 
"You cannot handle the truth"
Many times sellers make better claims. It is especailly difficult when the seller makes unvarifiable appealing claims. You be the judge. If it does not feel good than move on.On the flip side, I often look at scratch-and-dent, demo, and other less... 
Best mid priced Amp-Preamp
The above are all fine.  I use to favor heavier Adcom products.  Adcoms can take bad treatment, abuse of all kinds, and keep rocking.Maybe a good replacement would be Adcom 555...Less than $1k.
