Magnepan 1.7 I speaker sock ???
@autospec  What's the problem with sending an email? The days of just calling someone for immediate help are disappearing and you need to accept it as fact and move on. You are only punishing yourself.    
? about Smoking Power Amp
I feel like you need to take a look at the bigger picture here. It’s a cheap amp that poses a possible fire hazard. Surely you don’t think that your particular Sony TA-N721 is something special and won’t sound exactly the same as any other Sony TA... 
The greatest Pop song yet written and recorded.
@mrskeptic  "As with any type of art, music is 100% subjective and for people to say "so and so is the greatest song (of any type) ever", is silly and pointless." You may be right, but that isn't the point. The point is to have the discussion an... 
The greatest Pop song yet written and recorded.
Well, if you want the greatest "pop" song, then the first one that comes to mind is "Manic Monday" by The Bangles. Pure pop.    
Multiple DVD Players
Wow. Six DVD players, VCR inputs? It's like watching "Back to the Future". I believe the reason you can't find a solution is because the world has moved on and there is no profit to be made in outdated technology.    
Fraudulent sale on eBay
"Assume anything you buy from Hong Kong in counterfeit " Xenophobic? I don't think it is ethical to paint an entire country as dishonest and out to scam everyone. Believe me. There are con artists and scammers in every country.  
All-In-One (NAD C-658) vs NODE N130 with Separate DAC and Headphone Amp
Personally, I would stick with the separate components, instead of going with the all-in-one NAD. It will allow you to improve your system, one piece at a time, especially if you want a better dac than is provided in an integrated amp. As far as... 
DH Labs power cables
@jasonbourne71  "Another case of "I bought and installed the new cable and the sound improved markedly!" Unless you did a blind test with someone helping to make the switch all bets are off! As Perry Mason would say "Not admissable in Court"." W... 
Costliest Brainfart
Worst audio brain fart was snapping the cantilever on my Supex 900 Super whilst cleaning it. The most embarrassing incident happened when backing into a parking spot. Hooked the front bumper on a telephone pole and pulled it completely off with h... 
What was your first record?
"Long Tall Sally" by The Beatles  
Moving Soon - Should I Pack Up Everything Now??
I suppose it would depend on what the housing market is like in your particular part of the country, as well as how much lag time there would be between the sale and your actually moving out. If it's slow and there is a high probability of an ext... 
HT Receivers Compared
I had the Cambridge Audio CXR200 and replaced it with an Anthem MXR 520 in order to implement a home theatre bypass setup. Both were good for what they did, but if you are thinking they will work as the centrepiece of a high quality two channel s... 
Good value vintage pressing of CCR Cosmo’s Factory?
From what I see the 1978 Japanese pressing (Fantasy ‎– VIP-5058) is slightly better than the 1970 US release.  Japanese Release (Fantasy ‎– VIP-5058) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Analyzed: Cree...
