Who needs drugs when you've got music?
Excessive cilantro can harm others...they may never forgive you if you serve that to them. Nobody has ever used excessive parsley, so the jury is out on that one.

Too much moderation is an excess. 
Who needs drugs when you've got music?
Herbs in excess can DESTROY an otherwise well made dish. Stop excessive herb abuse before a meal is ruined! 
Brand Longevity
So now I'm in a bad mood because this thread got me thinking about my Squeezebox Touch...there's nothing quite like an extremely successful item being abandoned by bonehead manufacturers. 
Who needs drugs when you've got music?
I doubt anybody "needs" to smoke a little non-toxic (by definition) herb for musical listening enhancement, but I am amazed in this day and age that anybody else would care one way or the other. If I get so hammered from single malt I hurl on my D... 
Speaker Spikes - do the shake test
Everyone but me apparently. The "decoupling" movement (sorbothane or whatever energy absorbtion/dissipation feet instead of spikes under speakers) is utterly in opposition to the spikers. As a former spiker (for MANY years), I found sort of by acc... 
AFFORDABLE HIGH VFM RACKS - Opinions Please...
Magico racks are designed to withstand jumping on them. 
Who needs drugs when you've got music?
The current responder score is 3 to 1 in favor of drugs. I also like to smoke pot and listen to music, but I wind up playing guitar for hours instead...so I can't win. 
AFFORDABLE HIGH VFM RACKS - Opinions Please...
Magico has some nice racks for around $30,000. Really. 
Phono preamp suggestions
Cambridge 641P since they don't make the 640P anymore. I have a 640P with a power supply upgrade (Pangea P100) and it is a really well made great sounding thing. It's major flaw is that it might not be expensive enough. 
D'Agostino Momentum amp melts down
Really? "MOST amps fail the test?" Hmmm... also I disagree with the statement "This is pure entertainment with absolutely no value"...since when does "pure entertainment" lack value? Do happiness, mirth, delight, joy, glee, intense snarky and self... 
Need advice - EL34 switchable Ultralinear/SEP
Get one of those Cary 120 amps...they look cool, switch modes on the fly (I think) and are well regarded...not EL34s...but still...powerful. 
D'Agostino Momentum amp melts down
I thought that was hilarious...understandable thermal issue, but people love this amp SO MUCH they stand up for it! I've read several reviews if the thing (and its stereo "el cheapo" 20 something grand version) and was surprised Stereophile got to... 
AFFORDABLE HIGH VFM RACKS - Opinions Please...
I relish agreement, even with an unnecessarily plural moniker. I appreciate groovy design, but extremely expensive racks are things I really doubt would pass a blind test if the components on the racks were individually isolated with the aforement... 
Reason for selling is...
My reason is always, "I'm not worthy of such a fabulous component."
