Just a few words of appreciation for a still living artist.
Saw him here in Vancouver, BC back in the mid 70's and it was magical. Back in the day there were so many singer/songwriters that almost better live than on record. Such a strong voice and so many great songs.  
Has new music gone down the tubes?
@stuartk  "It would be unfair to say that there is no good new music. Just as it would be unfair to say that all music from the 60’s and 70’s was worth listening to." I'm 67 and I started with this sentence with the hope that readers would under... 
Has new music gone down the tubes?
It would be unfair to say that there is no good new music. Just as it would be unfair to say that all music from the 60's and 70's was worth listening to. That being said, it is not a coincidence that most of what played on FM radio and streamed ... 
Best sounding CD player
@audiotroy  If you were a lawyer, they would call you an "ambulance chaser". Whatever you are, it is not admirable.  
Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System?
There is "the replacement cost" and there's "what I paid for it". I rarely buy new so there is quite a difference.  
Get out and listen!
Love Benaroya Hall. We are in Vancouver, BC and love visiting Seattle for the music. Dimitriou's Jazz Alley is a great venue and one of the best concerts I have seen was Eddie Veder's 2011 solo show at Benaroya. Final show of the tour in his "hom... 
Get out and listen!
Couldn't agree more. Live, unamplified music provides a reference point. Opera (various Met performances) and big band jazz, when it was an option (Woody Herman, Buddy Rich) were the purest music I have ever heard.    
Why do so many sellers take offense to offers on their listings?
Whatever I am buying. If the initial asking price is not realistic I move on. If the asking price is over what I think is a fair price, based on model, age and condition, then I assume the seller has built in a buffer so I offer a little under hi... 
They still seem to be a hot mess
I found an alternative supplier that sold very good looking acoustic panels for a fraction of the cost of GIK. Along with, good quality and delivery times. Unfortunately they are no longer an option, as they are based in Kiev, Ukraine. I hope th... 
Are Their any Tube Preamp with Home Theater Bypass?

questions about buying/selling
Speaking as a Canadian citizen. Paying tax when you sell used equipment is criminal. Maybe you should head north. Less tax and free healthcare.    
The Beatles Revolver
To me it stinks of pandering to a generation that has limited attention span, doesn't care about sound quality and won't watch a classic movie without having it "colourized".      
What is Your Opinion of Atmos Music?
3D movies = Atmos music.  
Sad songs- We love them- We need them
"I Can't Make You Love Me" Bonnie Raitt "Hey Mister, That's Me Up On The Jukebox" Linda Ronstadt "Hurt" Johnny Cash "He Stopped Loving Her Today" George Jones "Someone Like You" Adele "The Living Years" Mike & The Mechanics "Good Riddanc... 
Roger Waters Live Last Night in Glendale,AZ
@baylinor  "In fact Hendrix dying before he was fully engrossed in the political direction he was following ends up being a good thing for my love of his music. Politics are all about material matters, music and art in general are just the opposi...
