What was your first music that you paid for?
Something by the Roach sisters.Keep On Doing. I liked their version of the Hallelujah chorus. 
What about a product can irritate you?
hmmm? lets see...the dial until you win INPUT SELECTOR?! overshoots. undershoots. just doesnt stop! This is the sort of device that belongs on a safe and not a pre-amp. It may be odd, but in my ideal of an amp less is more. I would be happiest wit... 
Where has the respect gone?
I am sure I have been a jerk here on more than one occation. Annoying, I suppose. Never with intent, but perhaps because of general ignorance and carelessness. Most of the time I will observe this- question it (in retrospect) and I do feel sorry w... 
When someone sells a Arcam cd92,what next?
coffeey,What happened?! You were all about the cd92! I mean, I know people change their minds, but I am really suprised. You almost had me thinking about getting one.....oh! 
Audiogon and the Hi-Fi Mags
I imagine the biggest difference between audio asylum and Audiogon as far as stereophile and absolute sound are concerned is that Audioasylum is seen as a place where audiophiles primarily gather to discuss audio related topics and Audiogon- altho... 
About the preamp section of my integrated
Eldartford- Thank you for the words of caution. If I do so I will invite another person I know who has some experience with this to help me. 
Why do intelligent people deny audio differences?
Is this the only example of debate you have with your brother? Otherwise you get along? Insensitive as it sounds, I envy you. Whenever I try to engage my brothers in a conversation about any audio related topic they begin to complain of physical p... 
Anyone else feel left out?
I dont! too many audiophiles here! Too many examples of that miserable condition! good advice though, and nice people. 
About the preamp section of my integrated
Thanks Lrsky. Its a Denon. I figured that the amp section needed more space due to its larger parts and the amount of heat they might generate. The amplifier does get warm. It is beyond warrenty now, so I didnt think there would be any harm in loo... 
Best Value System
Good advice Stehno 
To much wattage for B & W 805s ??
JeffJarvis- Hard as it is for me to imagine I believe it. I think B&Ws are more particular about the sort of power they are getting. A lot of power is also relative to its delivery, and I have read that Sugden amps are capable of driving some ... 
Best Sounding Recording
It depends on my mood. Only Kidding! Naziskinheads"Die! Die! Die! Its a sort of opera. Independent label, of course. 
"It doesn't impress you at first..."
My memory of live music was of wind and mud and stuff- a woman screeching. Everyone was wandering around. Nothing I have listened to since has really captured it. 
Problems with my Tri-Vista 300--Need some help
Washline,My Denon does the source selector thing! The most annoying thing! I had been extremely busy, and then very tired, and then when I felt up to dealing with it it stopped as mysteriously as it started. Funny thing- I thought I would be relie... 
Best Value System
As you can undoubtibly tell by reading posts here the best value system is not always the absolute outcome of high quality components or money spent,regardless of the amount. There are many contributors here who have systems that cost many times t...
