Pioneers in the history of higher end/accurate sounding components....and you..
Isn't it sad when you have done somethings in your life that included some people that others might recognize that it becomes "name dropping" to the insecure?  I guess that some of my studies, travels and business experience that happened to inclu... 
Roots, ie: how did your music/sound/audio life/listening begin?
glupson   What year and what brand/model turntable was it?  Do you remember what the first record you played on it was.I am an esoteric jerk, so Jazz and Classical dominate my collection,  but the first recorded "software" I ever had was a 45 rp... 
If someone looked through you music (records, CDs, etc.) what would surprise them?
Wait, I thought cat hair on a special pressing LPs just gave them  more.....ah, you know, texture?  The last cat I had would sit for very long periods of time trying to "catch" the cursor on my computer monitor...sometimes on the front of the scre...

Miller, I know what you mean.  I raced at Road America in a race that Mr. Newman was at.  Ate with Henry Kloss, and just happened to be in some place for some reason when a "known" person was there.  None of it made me any better/different than th...

Now, these were not "entry level" but Jim Thiel and his company made beautiful music with their speakers.  I will need to write down my "audio gear" history...but either Thiel or Magnepan will probably be the most owned speaker brands of mine.  Ou...

A very firm yes to Mr. Vandersteen.  In the last 20+ years perhaps the biggest speaker influence to introducing people to "real" fidelity.  The 1, 1B, 1C. 1Ci....and the bigger models, but the one series must be the modern day "welcome to high fid...

tvad, please help my knowledge of Mr. Staples and his work.  Thanks. 
Prices here and on ebay.....what do you notice/think?
fuzztone, Agreed.  It would seem that "the times" is bringing out more of this.  Both of my sons are in the film/movie/entertainment industries and things are sloooooooooow.  It would be a good subject for a non-fiction book to compare the 1918 fl...

Rather than any type of kiss, it is an acknowledgement of the obvious.  I can also see why most politicians say what they say.

garebear758 posts  Thank you for your input.  I have had two bad experiences,  one on ebay and one on AudiogoN.  In both cases the "bad" Buyer in a very short time was not on either site...as I was not the only person they tried to or did scam. P...

Well fuzz, I can see why you would say that.

I would guess we all know that this is also a generational question.  The influences of each decade from the 1940s on would be different people with some overlap of the people that were productive for a long time.  A major thank you to those desig...

How eclectic is your taste in music?
Well, if you can take a joke....there was a lady DJ that said in a deep Southern accent..."we play both kinds of music, we play your country and your western"My father was a self taught Guitar player and was a fan of Hank senior.  I went to many R...
