| If there was only ONE album/cd/release you can listen to, over and over............. A lot of great albums listed above. I would likely choose Kind Of Blue but then again some Grateful Dead makes me really happy so maybe Live/Dead or Sunshine Day Live in Veneta | |
| Qln, Joseph Audio, Audiovector, Marten, or Canton...? I checked out the Audio Vector R1 Arrete recently and was mightily impressed. I would assume that the R2 Arrete would continue that performance. | |
| Why do so many sellers take offense to offers on their listings? People get too emotionally invested in the gear. People frequently overvalue what they have. No one is forcing you to sell at the lower price. Be a grown up and ignore it if you don’t like it. It is business after all not personal. | |
| In praise of the duet. Robert Plant and the recent version of Band of Joy with Patty Griffin and Darrell Scott was good.. The OST for the movie One From The Heart has music written by Tom Waits and performed by Tom Waits and Crystal Gayle. | |
| What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world? The Audiovector R1 (not sure if it was Avantgarde or Arrete) sounded really good at the Vietnam Hi End show recently. Very impressive amount and quality of sound coming from those small 2 way stand mounts. | |
| Upgrade path question. Upgrade analog or turn to digital? A decent digital setup really doesn't require much space.

| Where did you buy your first audio gear? 35 years ago, a little grey market hifi shop in downtown Atlanta. I nice Yamaha AX-500 integrated amplifier. I used that amp for nearly 20 years. Also 35 years ago, HiFi Buys (still in business in Atlanta) a pair of Cerwin Vega D-3 | |
| Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried... So many greats that I love already mentioned. Let me add Fiona Apple and her recent album Fetch The Bolt Cutters. Also Mavis Staples. | |
| Best "Budget" / "bang for my buck" 2-channel amp and speakers can I get new? The Philharmonic Audio BMR Tower at $3700/pair is one of the best bang for your buck speakers out there and they look gorgeous. They dig down into the mid 20Hz region too which most reasonably priced speakers can't do. https://philharmonicaudio.... | |
| Piega loudspeakers The ones I've heard at shops and shows sounded nice but outside my budget at the time. | |
