| Is it cabin fever or what??? I too am new to the site (less than a year) but while I acknowledge that some threads are less than stimulating it is inevitable. I haven't read too many that I sensed have been started simply for effect. I believe most of the posters are sincere ... | |
| You got to show me something more! I sense a softening in your attitude Coltrane1. You will find that you yourself might learn something from the contributors to this site. You are correct it is "about thought, and the sharing of ideas". The hardest thing is balancing one's convict... | |

| You got to show me something more! Coltrane, yes I do get it thank you. But your attitude towards this subject (jazz) and music in general, I am afraid is at best misguided and at worst militant and angry. You may disagree all you want but your comments speak for themselves. Your e... | |
| You got to show me something more! Sugarbrie, you exagerate a mite. Worst still you miss one of the most important aspects of the history of this incredibly rich music. The state of civil rights had everything to do with much of what spawned this great tradition. | |
| Kinergetics SW200 rip-off ?? Justlisten, good to hear from you again. I appreciated your comments the first time, but eventhough I strongly suspected that my attempts would lead to frustration, I decided to give the subwoofer thing a try. You obviously appreciate the great th... | |

| Best Turntable at $1,500? Please Advise. Guys, the question was for analog system including phono stage for 1500.00. I still don't see how you can do better than a VPI HW19(any vintage)with a Rega, Alphason, or if you have a tweaking predilection a ET2 for around $700-800. This was and s... | |

| Favorite Romantic Female Vocal Song(s)? "Save your love for me" Nancy Wilson with the Cannonball Adderly Quintet. | |
| DO AUDIOPHILES EVER LISTEN TO MUSIC? Great post Waldhorner. Is it any surprise that the majority of audiophiles are men? Audio as a hobby is oftentimes turned into some sort of macho pursuit. Which is why the technical aspects of all this become some sort of standard that some will u... |
