An audio component you just can't let go
My Sony 32 inch CRT TV. 25 years old and works as good as the day I bought it. Perfect for watching old shows that just look better with a little pixelation. It has  stereo sound so it qualifies here.  
Burn Twetter Speaker
About 35 years ago I bought my first decent system. I was young, cranked the hell out of it. Turned it all the way up and just a tweak down when the amp red-lined. I went through tweeters in both cabinets. Paid to heave them replaced. Tech was nic... 
Physical degradation of CD's
@ibmjunkman  People will buy anything as long as it's expensive. I hate when vinyl records get magnetized!

Can hi-end cables benefit less expensive electronics?
Pro or against expensive cables. I don't understand the arguing over it. If something sounds better to you on your system, use it. If it doesn't,  don't use it. What's better for me may not be better for you. If something does work out well, I lik... 
Can hi-end cables benefit less expensive electronics?
My  vintage Harman Kardon system was not exactly cheap when I bought it back in 1990. It has served me well and I enjoy it immensely.  I did notice some improvement when I replaced the stock interconnects with the Audioquest Tower line. I noticed ... 
Audiogon web site is slow for me......
Audiogon installed some new power cords for their servers. Once they burn in the website will load much faster.
