How much?
terry9, I take umbrage at the statement "The other posters are listening as background music."  Is there a 2-hour-per-week limit to serious listening?  
How much?
tomcarr, you have no idea.  Get off your high horse. 
50 years on---the brilliance of The Band and their astounding debut album.
All impact and influence aside, MFBP is just a great album that never grows old for me. Whereas Hendrix sounded as if he had just stepped off a spaceship, the Band sounded as if they had just stepped out of a time machine.  The second half of the ... 
Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre?
If that's the case I can put away my Dynaudios and go back to my Cambridge Audio satellites/sub or my Realistic Minimus 7's...? 
Vinyl in Katy, TX
There are 3 Half Price Books stores in or near Katy.  Especially great for classical multi-disc sets, but lots of rock/jazz/etc.  Everything, really.        https://www.hpb.com/stores?utf8=%E2%9C%93&address=katy%2C+texas 
Paul is Done
He gets little notice for his guitar playing and his arranging.  Check out his one-man version of "Surfer Girl" on youtube (played at a Brian Wilson tribute concert).  I think it's brilliant. 
The Best Piano Works of the 20th Century
Bartok sonata, Alban Berg Sonata. 
CD player just tanked.
You can get a reconditioned (with full warranty) NAD player that sounds great on your budget.  I did and loved it for years till the drawer started acting up a bit.  I then compared the sound to an older OPPO DVD player (which plays SACDs) which I... 
Tube suggestions for hybrid integrated amp
Update:  I've had the Tung-sol tubes in for a little over a week.  The difference is more dramatic than I expected.  Better separation of the instruments, warmer/smoother sound overall without loss of detail and a sumptuous low end (so much so tha... 
What is being said at the 1:59 mark of this song?
He's saying the title of the song ("Kuda") and then it's repeated electronically, like an echo. 
the guess who vs the rock and roll hall of fame
I have as big a problem with some of those who are in rather than those who are not in, especially artists who had one or two hits and whose music is a far cry from rock and roll.That said, I like the Guess Who and feel that as a multi-hit band th... 
Tube suggestions for hybrid integrated amp
I just got off the phone with Andy.  A pair of NOS Tung-Sol tubes will be headed my way later this week.  Thanks again for everyone's help on this. 
Tube suggestions for hybrid integrated amp
I'll give Andy a call.  Hopefully he'll have some idea of how different tubes might affect the sound of my setup.   Thanks to all who have responded. 
Vinyl - Hearing The Beginning of the Song One Revolution Earler
I've noticed this phenomenon since I was a kid.  I thought it was an LP-only thing as I don't recall hearing it on CD's made from tape masters. 
Trouble in Fleetwood Mac.......
I'm a fan of the original four (and later five) piece band with Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer and Danny Kirwan on guitars.  That band had an amazing sound.  I sometimes hear traces of it in the music of Los Lobos and ZZ Top.  Lots of talented musici...
