Drinking Songs playlest... What am I missing?
immatthewj  'I would probably put  almost anything by Shane MacGowan as a good song to get loaded while listening to'.   Now that was a man in need of a dentist but death got him first.  
Drinking Songs playlest... What am I missing?
 Here are two German beer drinking songs embedded to two German/Swiss musical beer steins with musical movements.  Notice something about the movements?  https://i.imgur.com/8QwdnLA.jpg https://i.imgur.com/IPAE2Uw.jpg  https://i.imgur.com/vOEij... 
Budget integrated amp?
 Musical Fidelity A1 integrated amplifier.  Retains the original esthetic and wonderfully musical without the overheating issues the original had at a price below the inflation rate with what the original went for.  
Thoughts on the new pressing of "Bookends" lp from MFSL
@slaw "The siblance on "s"s, seems more pronounced/noticeable."  I always thought that DSD kind of softens the upper frequencies, not make them more pronounced.    
The Allure of Vintage Audio Gear
There's vintage audio, then there's vintage audio.  While seventies receivers seem all the rage, there are also many great antiques out there.  Take a pair of Quad 57's and  Quad II amps or Futterman OTL's from the fifties, with some simple mods o... 
Bookshelf speaker recommendations
How about ATC SCM 11s. A sealed design with fantastic dynamics. Even the smaller SCM 7s might work.   
Spades vs. Banana plugs ??
Whoever said to use bare wire with the ends tinned together is one of the first methods  I used.  That said, four plus decades later I've tried everything from inexpensive solid copper nickel plated spades purchased at the hardware store to WBT ex... 
Looking for a CD / SACD player. Also, tell me about Esoteric

Time to change
Audiogon may not be the best place for television and sound bars but products like Naims Mu-so all in one systems just might fill the bill for you.  It sounds very good and frankly betters a lot of setups that I've listened to recently.

1990 Radio Shack catalog
I simply miss being able to go the local Shack for basic electrical components/parts.  And not just them, the three or four independent electronic parts businesses that used to operate in the Chicago area.  
That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For
Purchasing an Esoteric Audio SACD player.  And recently taking off my Ekos SE Titanium tonearm and put back my mint Ittok Black arm.  After many recent updates to my LP12 I realized the Ittok is a better tonearm.         
Looking for a CD / SACD player. Also, tell me about Esoteric
Like restaurants, I like a great cheap eats place that's BYOB and the same with higher priced offerings, where the food and presentation are more refined, I like to find that really special (at least to me) audio component that is both reasonable,... 
The joys of mid-fi
If you’re getting enjoyment out of your system, what does it matter what you spent on it? People here enjoy systems that literally were assembled on a shoestring budget to systems well into S-Class territory(pricing) and beyond. On a certain level...
