| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! +1 Viridian. The nominations above covered most of the bases, but Yoko is in a class by herself. You really couldn't call it music, and she rendered some of Lennon's work unlistenable with her screeching. | |

| Viva, no longer a fan Companies which do not service used products devalue their product and their brand; their products, sold used, have a lower value due to the lack of support. Denying support to owners of a used product, in order to "protect" a dealer network, pla... | |
| When will there be decent classical music recordings? + 1 inna. It's the room. Mine is nothing like a concert hall. | |
| "Vintage" high end gear vs new and upgrade path? I think your Rega arm and dac may be the weakest links. I upgraded a Rega arm about as far as I could, but when I moved to Origin Live replacements, it made a huge difference. IMO, the old Rega arm is good, but entry-level, no matter what you do... | |
| Isolation Platforms under Line / Power Conditioners ..any thoughts ? When I moved my isolation transformers off the floor, onto my Billy Bags rack, the sound seemed to improve. | |
