"AT Audiogon" "ON Audiogon" Help
How about "via" or "through" 
Which 16:9, 46" RPT--Toshiba v. Sony
Not to change the subject, but any opinion on best 50" plasma? 
Lisa Marie Presley
Jbello - Or not... Did you see her on Letterman last week. He asked the question (paraphrased) "Was MJ as strange then as he is now?" Her response was a somewhat uncomfortable look and (again paraphrased) "I left him, didn't I". 
Rock Lyrics - Best Reference to Other Rock Group
Of course there is Neil Young in "My my, Hey hey":"The king is gone but he's not forgotten. This is the story of Johnny Rotten"

Sean - Life in the Foodchain is indeed a great album. Picked it up when it first came out around 1978 (I went and checked the album cover to confirm the date). Finally found a CD version of it about 3 or 4 years ago. Still enjoy listening to it fr...

Need advice: Integrated amp for BW 804s
I use a Musical Fidelity A-300 with my N 804's and am perfectly happy with what I hear. You may want to give that or, perhaps, the new MF model a listen. One caveat - aside from listening to them at the dealer with more expensive Krell/McIntosh eq... 
Cult Classics for Young Future Audiophile
CW - I would think planar's would fall into the category of "cool" though maybe not until a couple more years go by - my 12 year old son would be oblivious, my 15 year old daughter would be more appreciative. However, in either case an I-POD might... 
How to respond to those who say it's not a hobby?
Tell her she is right, it is not a hobby, it is an addiction - but you had a choice between crack and high end audio and you chose high end. Would she rather you chose crack? 
What did he say? Misunderstood lyrics.
There used to be a web site dedicated to this topic. I forget what it is but someone out there must recall it. 
Retail Buying - Reality Check
It is a good question - what is the "right price" to buy retail. I am not a frequent buyer of equipment but have always been able to get 10-15% off MSRP. My sense is that many "more frequent" buyers that post on this site get better deals from ret... 
Anemic Musical Fidelity A300
I have an A300 and I don't recall ever having to turn it halfway up to get decent volume though, frankly, I don't listen to music as loudly as I did when I was younger. I have B&W N804's and don't know the relative sensitivities are or how lou... 
Creek 5350R Vs. Creek 5350SE?
That was somewhat tounge in cheek. However, credibility on Agon or not, ST's remarks probably helped boost the image of the SE versus the R. I personally do not know which is better not having compared the two. Actually, it seems like a relatively... 
Creek 5350R Vs. Creek 5350SE?
Sam Telllig/Stereophile said the 5350SE was better. Since it was not much more money, my guess that is one reason it is much more popular. 
5 most recognizable voices in American music?
Bob Dylan has to be one of the top five. Depending on ones age, I agree with Michael Jackson - probably replaces Ray Charles. In the pop world (at least if the song is White Christmas)Bing Crosby probably replaces Streisand.
