Whats the weirdest concert you ever attended?
Nothing really too weird, but I did see Elton John at the Hollywood Bowl in 1972, or '73. He was introduced by Linda Lovelace (of "Deep Throat" fame). Also, I went to a Bob Dylan concert at the Greek Theater (Berkeley) a couple of years ago. I wai... 
Grado Statement Sonata 1 - bent stylus
I'm sure your question is rhetorical-nothing breaks itself. I'm no detective but something clearly damaged your stylus. I have, unfortunately, had this same experience but having both children and a pet, I had an idea what caused it. I don't know ... 
Thoughts on SHIIT Gungnar DAC
The names are fine. They all remind me of Schiit. 
Reaga Apollo At My Local Trhift
I was trolling the thrift stores for awhile and picked up several pieces of equipment. Among the best were a pair of AR 850 Powered Partners. The woofers need to be re-coned and a tweeter needed replacement, but at $18 they were a great deal. Amon... 
Where does your user name come from?
My last name begins with "K". You can probably guess my first name.

Just curious...who in Schiit's marketing department names their products? 
Audio Eden & Lack of Response - Anyone Else?
Another familiar story. FWIW, try to buy locally. Buying from Canada, no thanks; Europe, never; Asia, no way in h**l! Also, if they want to meet at a McDonald's...danger sign. Anyone who is serious about selling equipment will let you audition it.... 
Review: Lampizator Lite 7 DAC DA converter
Call "Stereophile", they're looking for reviewers. 
You know you're an audiophile if--
you don't laugh out loud when you read about Nordost speaker cables that cost $12,000 for two meters, or interconnects that cost $7700 for a one meter pair. I don't want to offend anyone but $12,000, seriously? Ridiculous! 
vintage cd player
Jrinkerptdnet,You make a good point. The poster did require "vintage" sound. Best of luck trying to find an SACD player with vintage sound. 
vintage cd player
Lucky for you there are probably no parts to repair your unit. The Sony 707 ESD was amazing in its day, but that day passed a long time ago. You will be floored by the improvement in sound of a new player, when you do get one. If you insist on the...

random thoughts on THE Show
I flew down on Saturday just for the day. The Irvine Hotel was also having a show of exotic cars (Lamborgini, Ferrari)and the hotel had both in many rooms together. I particularly liked the headphone room (although Oppo was a no-show?). I was surp...
