1st Album you Ever Owned?
Joy to the World: Their Greatest Hits - Three Dog Night 1974 
You can Vote for Most Valuable Lead Vocals (Rock Groups)
mcslippWhile I might agree that Van Halen had more good songs with David Lee Roth than with Sammy, I think their two best songs are Dreams and Right Now (with Jump a close third), both with Sammy. Also, Roth is not really a good singer and he's th... 
Thinking about the good old days...
Infinity Rsb speakers driven by Marantz 2025 receiver with Sony PS-T2 turntable. Still have them all and all still in good working condition. First album was Three Dog Night greatest hits. Still have the album too. 
Who are your three favorite female singers?
Karen Carpenter - best popGrace Slick - best rockAretha Franklin - best soulI would have included Ella for best jazz had I been allowed another choice. I always break them out by genre so I don't have to pick just one. 
Lemons are an actual thing in high-end audio
When life gives you lemons, make whiskey sours. 
One of the Best Stereo System in the World!
He says he uses it for home theater too, just wondering where the screen is. Doesn't seem like a screen would work with that huge center speaker. 
What other hobby...
Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica. 
Sam here.l realize now why so many people think my ideas are crazy?
What does this say about women who shave their pubes? Are their genitals deaf to the sweet music I make down there? I expect this entire thread to be removed soon enough. 
Looking to improve my system
For live performance sound, another vote for Magnepan. Few other speakers can do imaging as well as Magnepans. For about 10K (maybe less), you can pick up used 20.7s. Now realize that Magnepans are 4 ohm speakers with low sensitivities, usually ar... 
M900U vs the world
"Comparing a Lux to a Emotiva ?" Yes, I compared the specs as I said and there is very little difference. Don't forget that my very first sentence was "I'm not saying the Emotiva BasX A-300 sounds as good as the M900U". The whole point of my post ... 
M900U vs the world
I just read at least two websites that said the M900U costs $19,900 (I rounded it up to $20,000) but I did find another that said $17,999. If you can find it cheaper, all the more power to you because I'm all about saving the money for other thing... 
M900U vs the world
I'm not saying the Emotiva BasX A-300 sounds as good as the M900U, but if you look at the specs, except for the instantaneous max output of the M900U, they really don't look much different. The Emotiva BasX A-300 costs $399 while the M900U costs $... 
Is there a magic formula for spending on components in a system
cleeds Randi’s offer was just a promotional stunt.Do you want to know how Randi really works? Details here.  I think Randi later admitted the cable company backed out. As to how the experiment would be carried out, that's a different subject. I... 
Is there a magic formula for spending on components in a system
Hey millercarbon,You always seem to be a huge proponent of power cables and speaker wires having a huge impact on the sound quality. I'm not saying you're wrong, but James Randi has offered a prize of $1 million to anyone who can demonstrate that... 
You know you are an Audiophile when:
You have 17 items there. Not everyone who calls themselves an audiophile is going to say all 17 are true and certainly someone who does fewer than 5 should probably not call themselves an audiophile. What is the number that puts one over the top i...
