Do you admit that you ever enjoyed listening to:
Glad you didn't include the Carpenters.Hated them when I was a kid in the 70s.Now I think they're friggin incredible.Ticket to Ride cover -one of the all time truly great pop recordings.Better than the Beatles and Cathy Berberian. 
Would you sell to someone with no feedback?
What about advice for someone who wants to sell a couple of components but has no seller history. Will anybody buy from him as he is a first timer and has no feedback?My only experience on audiogon is buying a pair of speaker demos from a dealer b... 
Jazz for aficionados
This goes back to a comment from 2013 about the original Broadway cast album of Ain't Misbehavin.I saw this cast in its Broadway run many many times. Pure joy.What you hear on this recording is only a fraction of what you heard on stage. Let alone... 
Any Vandersteen 7 Owners in SFO Bay Area ?
How lucky you are that you can afford the 7s. I heard them a couple of years ago at Audio Connection in NJ and they were jaw dropping. It will be love at first hearing. 
What's been playing on your turntable and what turntable is it ?
Graceland on VPI Superscoutmaster with Lyra Atlas.Over and over again. 
New Wilson - Wamm Master
So ugly they would stop a Mack truck. 
I should have never ....
You are clearly in love and if I were you I would wait until you could afford a pair of demos.Your budget is too low for what you need and what will probably make you happy.Not exceedingly so, so sweat it out until you can increase your budget som... 
What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience?
Why didn't you take 2 bottles of the pinot noir and listen to the whole thing?Or did you assume after 1 you'd be asleep? 
Inexpensive speaker cables
JW audio.John's cables are so inexpensive and humble looking they might be suspect.I urge you to try them. 30 day money back guarantee and it will cost you so little for the audition. They come up so well compared to cables costing a couple of tho... 
When will there be decent classical music recordings?
That's why I have a second system.I listen to a lot of historical recordings and I cannot listen to them on my primary system. Too revealing.Box sets I love: The Reiner, Westminster Legacy and the Archive Analogue. All good examples of exemplary s... 
When will there be decent classical music recordings?
I understand what you are saying by a blob of sound.But the better your equipment becomes(which can take a heckuva lot of money) the more impactful and transparent it becomes.You can listen to Paray's on Mercury Saint Saen 3rd in its most recent c... 
My final table , hopefully !
Same situation as you.When I got back into vinyl my head start bopping and my foot tapping again.Brian at vpi is great. 
When will there be decent classical music recordings?
"I have yet to come across any classical recording that grabs me in the way it should, or could."Clearly you have done very very little listening to classical music in recordings where even in boxy mono a Toscanini, Furtwangler, or Mengelberg coul... 
Best Live Recording on LP
So anybody have an opinion on the 180 gram reissue of Sinatra/Basie at the Sands compared to the Reprise original?Anybody have an opinion on the cd? 
Tinnitus worries...
I did go to the Stones, Elton John, John and Elvis Costello but I kept my concert going very limited.But small clubs and discos-a couple of times and then no.Anyplace where you have to scream at the person next to you makes no sense whatsoever.But...
