What is the most memorable concert that you had attended so far?
I just remembered a few more, and how could I forget these:Astor Piazzolla - at SOB’s. I was sitting near the stage, he invites a special guest onto the stage, a petit but statuesque woman sitting right next to me, elbows apart, at the next table ...

How do you store and catalog your vinyl?
I have about 5,000 LPs. They are stored on shelving that consists of 42 cubes, 15 x 15. I built them myself. They are divided into into three more or less equal sized categories: classical, Afro Cuban, and everything else. The classical is divided... 
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
Geoffkait,blind tests are how science is done. i worked in pharma marketing for 25 years. Your meds don’t make it to market without blind testing with control groups. The rest is superstition, demagoguery, snake oil ... 
Sellers and "Ambiguity" or "Integrity" of "item as described" descriptions on eBay
Audiogon community:Harold’s tone, syntax, grammatical style and emotional posture are suspiciously similar to the seller - a different name - that I had the unfortunate experience to contend with. Yes, I consider the case closed, it’s been a year.... 
Sellers and "Ambiguity" or "Integrity" of "item as described" descriptions on eBay
It is “technically” owned by Paypal. As a a practical matter, it is  probably gonna sit in our mech/boiler room for a very long time. Yes, I found another from a seller that lived a couple hours away. I drove over, auditioned it, he had a scope so... 
Sellers and "Ambiguity" or "Integrity" of "item as described" descriptions on eBay
Harold:wow. What a rant. You sound similar to the seller I had to contend with. What do you have to hide?I had examined the photos very closely. There was nothing that stood out as defective in the imagery. Even after the item arrived, it was real...

Raindance, The tubes in both the Dyna and the Futterman would pick up ham radio from the passing taxis like crazy until Jon figured out a way to shield them.  
Longer speaker cables or interconnects
cd318:The Velvets and the Fugs both came out of an underground East Village / Brooklyn scene that was closely tied to the beat poetry of Jack Kerouac and to the lesser known but maybe more important poet Allan Ginsburg. Ginsberg hung out at Max’s ... 
Longer speaker cables or interconnects
Kalili,My speakers are 16 ohm and 101dB efficiency. My Dyna MK III have 4, 8, and 16 taps but the Futtermans do not. When I had the 604Cs rebuilt by Gabriel Sound, I had the option of keeping them at 16 or switching them to 8. Jon Specter, my engi... 
Longer speaker cables or interconnects
Cd318,I did try removing it once to experiment but I still got the feedback. Putting it completely down did the trick. Maybe with the new space this will be a non-issue. BUT...sometimes I think in at least some of those recordings, the engineer is... 
Longer speaker cables or interconnects
Tyray,Actually, the dust cover is usually up. But with about 10% to 15% of my records, beyond a certain volume, say 85 decibels or so, the cartridge picks up feedback hum from the speakers. When the dust cover is down, the problem disappears compl...
