What is your audio axiom?
@ozzy62 - it would seem that way, yeah? But in my apartment I've got a long livingroom and I have my gear set up width-wise, not length-wise, so on one side I've got about 15 feet until the window wall, and on the other side about 10 feet from the...

Chair
I had a stressless chair but the back extended up past my head so I didn't like it for listening to music; I've since replaced that with a real Eames chair and ottoman, and while it sits just a tad lower than I'd prefer, the sound is much better f... 
What is your audio axiom?
I'd tell them that the most important thing is the music; I didn't enjoy songs any less as a teenager listening on a cheap clock-radio than I do now hearing them on a true audiophile system and a room with wall-to-wall carpet and no side-walls. Bu... 
Another Flashback Friday - Rick Wakeman Final Tour Review
@mylogic - Thank you for all that! Yes, the Lizard Peninsula is on the list. Your suggestion is great, but alas, I do not drive (something the world should be grateful for).... I had this same issue in the Cotswolds a number of years ago. I was ab... 
Speakers for Mc240
You might want to start a thread in the 'Speakers' category too; you should get some different responses there to check out.   
Real musicians don't need "awards."

Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ...
@lanx0003 - or you could start a new thread under 'Digital' posing the same question? A lot of folks might read it who wouldn't think to look in 'analog'.

Imagine how many responses you'd have gotten on this thread if it had been posted under 'Digital' instead of 'Analog'....   
Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too?
@mylogic - Indeed, Rick was never lacking in ambition. He was a really different character than the other Yessers. And what a character Rick is! His son is doing music these days....

@cleeds - So much for AI? AI can only work with the information it's given; if that's what Spotify says, and the question was about Spotify, then the answer was spot-on. It's not AI's job to come up with a conclusion like 'This is laughable - Spot... 
Why the huge increase in the price of Sonus Farber Amanti G5 speakers.
@arafiq - No, Blockbuster would not still be kicking anything but the bucket, as this new thing called streaming came along and totally obsoleted the entire CD/VHS rental business model.   
Another Flashback Friday - Rick Wakeman Final Tour Review
@mylogic - Thank you for that story, MyLogic. I'm a hard-core Britophile and have visited GB many times without having gone to the continent; I never want to leave GB when I'm there, and like to take trains and go and stay in various places well o... 
Does cover art of an album or recording influences your purchase?
@devinplombier - Thank you, Devin; I was trying to think of Peter's name but it wasn't coming to me.

@mylogic - for awhile, anyway, Milli Vanilli might have met that description, once people found out they didn't perform on their records.
