David Crosby-Here if you Listen-New Record
I don't agree with him politically either but I'll look for this CD. I have always been a fan. 
Keeping Insider status
I joined during the 50% 0ff promotion. Candidly, I haven't seen any benefit yet. If I cancel now, I'd probably see a $46 refund. I don't need the money that bad. I view it as a way to support the site. If the Audio Bluebook saves me money on one p... 
Tekton or Klipsch
My advice would be to go with the company that has been around for decades and has an established dealer network. More importantly, if you ever decide to sell them you will find a market for them. Certainly, there are speakers that are cheaper, bu... 
I've never believed much in cables, that said... (USB)
Many years ago my interconnects consisted of manufacturer-supplied cables and lamp cord for speaker wire. I saw some Audioquest Ruby interconnects on sale and bought them. When I took them home and replaced my old cables I couldn't believe the dif... 
DBX SF-150s, should I grab these?
$25, and you have to ask? Probably a worthwhile investment. Sure, go for it! 
R.I.P. Dr. John
Not Dr John. Say it isn’t so. What a shame! Very Sad. One of my all-time favorites is "Walk on Gilded Splinters." 
What's playing in your head today?
R.E.M.- "Eponymous" album, specifically "Radio Free Europe." 
Thiel is offically going...going...gone. Auction Time
Another one bites the dust. Very sad! 
Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people.
vinny55,Sure, put the R2Rs in museums. Those same criticisms can be made about other mediums as well. So what then, donate our tube equipment, cassette decks, turntables and CD players. To quote John McEnroe, "You can not be serious!" And then wha... 
Trouble joining "Insider"?
Tammy reached out to me about this problem. Although I had reviewed my credit card info, the billing info didn't match our residence due to our recent move. I didn't even know Audiogon had my credit card info. She updated the info and I joined "In... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
R.E.M.- "Eponymous" I really miss those guys. We saw them live probably five times.   
OT: Watch Balance Wheels and Escapements
Watches. mantel and wall clocks have always been a black box to me. Fortunately, I have a friend who owns a clock shop. All my watches keep "perfect" time (+ or -). If I were to upgrade, it would be a Breitling, or an Omega. 
Trouble joining "Insider"?
donvito,I'm with you. I have tried unsuccessfully to get in touch with someone here at Audiogon. They seem very anxious to get "Insiders" but so far I have heard nothing back from my emails. As you probably realize, that was my motivation for star... 
What’s the best SACD you’ve ever heard?
Jorma Kaukonen, "Blue Country Heart." I lent it to someone and he never returned it despite many requests. He is a good friend who lost his wife to Cancer shortly after. I just couldn’t ask again. If I want it that badly I can always buy another o... 
What a sad world we now live in.......
It’s not, "...a sad world we now live in...," it’s just reality. So what if Walmart and Best Buy don’t sell CDs anymore. Who bought them there anyway? It should not come as a surprise that most of the CDs worth buying have already been bought. As ...
