Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably?
Mac stuff from the tube age with upgraded parts might surprise a lot of people. Great midrange and totally non fatiguing, I still own a pair of MC-60s. Not used every day but I can't part with them either and always enjoy listening for a change of... 
Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black
Excellent points and observations randyhat. Ct, enjoy your speakers. I really need to hear the new line of Vandy speakers, it's been too long. Nice review and I connect with your enthusiasm and enjoyment, that's what I like! 
Time for Two Ways !
No 2channel8, I haven't probably be too expensive! The jumpers themselves are ribbons by the same manufacturer and there are differences between the jumpers which are very clearly audible. I haven't talked to  my dealer or the manufacturer of the ...

"as of now looks like the South will win ."Reading into your perspective that people in the South and those in many other parts of the country are "racist" whether through personal experience or being "carefully taught" Schubert I would only say t... 
What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience?
"They seem to think in circles."Maybe it’s how Joni Mitchell thought when she wrote this song, probably stoned most of the time in those days, just a guess. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9VoLCO-d6U 
What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers??
To your point Edward506, I totally agree with you that room and speakers would be much more important than cabling. Not to belabor the point and I truly am like you, I don't care one way or another what people believe, maybe some can't hear and I ...

Have fun with your life  as well Jetter. Move out of the country? Thanks for the advice, I'll keep it in mind. P.S. Montreal is INDEED a beautiful city. I love that place! See, there is always common ground among all those that look for it. :)

Who cares Jetter about your Uncle or draft status during Vietnam, I was lucky too, the lottery in '69 remember? My number was 327 like the short block Chevy engine, one of my favorites, so what? I lost a   uncle one of the first casualties of the ...

You may want to know what you're speaking of before posting Jetter. If I RECALL correctly Schubert served as an infantryman during the Vietnam War.  While I certainly don't agree with all his comments I certainly respect HIM more than those that s...

"It’s just life. For example I was once a N.Y.Times subscriber and an avid listener of NPR, people change (sometimes LOL)."Boy I'll say Charles! You must have had a profound awakening huh? :).  
Ry Cooder recommendation...
"Jazz, Bop until you Drop are both good. Buena Vista Social Club is Fantastic." Those are three I'm familiar with, love Jazz and Buena Vista Social club. Thanks to all for other Ry albums to check out, I certainly will!

Well Charles I respect your opinion but I think plenty of good has come from both the Great Society and the New Deal. Seniors have better access to health care and aren’t living in abject poverty with much shorter life spans as they were before. I...

"We all have a stake in what each other does. It's the basis of family, community, nationality and ultimately humanity. No man's an island."I agree with this statement on a personal level. Unfortunately not everyone sees things as we bleeding...
