Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ?
"Yes, there is both right and wrong, you are simply seemingly unaware of it." There is also pompous, condescending and self-absorbed.

I have also heard rumours of non-Rolex watches that can actually keep the correct time. What a bizarre world we live in.  
SACD is VERY confusing
Never really understood why Sony/Philips did this. Isn't the point to sell SACD's? Making it difficult for people to hear them at their best by putting up roadblocks doesn't seem like much of a business plan.

Fading Background Vocals Conundrum
I am impressed with your honesty. If this happened to me, I would probably plead the 5th. That being said, as I get older I have noticed that these types of things are happening to me more frequently than they did previously. I know it's not me,...

I Cried Today
Acts of humanity are in short supply these days. Thank you for sharing your story.  
Audiogon Tech Question
US Audio Mart and Canuck Audio Mart also have a save search function that works even when the product doesn't exist for sale on the site.  
Does a particular musician’s songwriting and artistry speak to you above all others?
There are many that elicit that reaction for me, but it is usually for only a few years or a number of albums. For instance, Elton John from his "Elton John" debut album up to "Captain Fantastic". Linda Ronstadt "Heart Like a Wheel" until "Simp... 
Which is better, a fussy speaker or a versatile one?
Let me see. Either I have a speaker that will be a pain in the butt to get the sound right or a speaker that is easy to get the sound right? This will require further analysis. I will get back to you in January.
