What was your first record?
" If you're ashamed of that album, I guess I need to kill myself for my first purchase." That seems a tad extreme. I hope you change your mind.  
Fraudulent sale on eBay
I’ve done a bunch of transactions on eBay, both buying and selling with 100% positive results. I only buy and sell domestically and always check feedback and transaction numbers from whom I’m buying. Not that hard. If there’s a whiff of illegitima... 
Being alone with your music

"And yet again you build your house out of cardboard and stick it with bubble gum. Boggles my mind." What does that even mean??  
What is the science behind audiophile fuses?

Watermelon test for audiophiles!
When I was a firefighter on the Florida gulf coast, some of us worked the shows at the Civic Center on our days off. When Gallagher came to town I always got to help set up his props and mess with the Sledge-O-Matic. Nice guy, Gallagher. Total po... 
What is the science behind audiophile fuses?
@tonywinga , Agreed. Our beliefs are our beliefs. Certainly no hard feelings and my apologies to all for side tracking the discussion. Because, you know, that rarely happens!🤓  
What is the science behind audiophile fuses?
" But the sciences that are more theoretical, astrophysics, anthropolgy, etc are built on a fragile system of suppositions and yet people build a belief system around these theories as a way to find comfort in their existence." I also don’t und...
