| Does anyone really need to spend 10k on power You think that's bad, speakers for $250,000 are behind door number 2. | |
| Rega Arm mods-is it really woth t it? I have been down that path. All the upgrades help, a little, but are not worth the cost, and they are virtually a complete loss when you resell it. If you really "must" upgrade a rega arm on your current table, better to get the best Origin Live a... | |
| The Worst Performance Ever - Really could not get through it. don't think anyone really like Sutch at the time, I didn't know anyone who did. Notice that no one in the audience is dancing or doing anything except waiting for it to be over. agree about the lame Who superbowl show. Ex... | |
| Norah Jones Tostados, perhaps you understand the words, but miss the meaning, of Shubert's quote. It means, "settling for second best." The phrase is usually trotted out in the context of aspirations to achieve greatness. | |

| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? I tried several different upgrade fuses in my tube amp. I thought they sounded, "better" at the time, but when the fuse in one channel blew, I replaced it with the stock fuse. Could not tell any difference between the two channels. Fuse in other c... | |
| worse entertainer or performer of all time?? Whitney Houston's music is generally unlistenable, but her version of the Star Spangled Banner at the Super Bowl, during the Gulf War, was great.

| What's your view on blind testing? this has been beaten to death, search the arvhives if you like, but... agree w Kijanki. Extended listening is required for me. "properly conducted" is somewhere between very difficult and impossible. autiophiles' main issues are not whether indiv... | |
| PMC vs. Salk Sound Speakers. Which is better? My PMC Fb1i Signatures sound great. Considered Salk at the time, but the engineering behind the PMC's - a correctly designed transmission line enclosure - was obvioulsy beyond Salk's capabilities, which seem to be focused more on parts quality and... | |
| can record skips be fixed? thanks for the responses. ordinarily, I go looking for another copy. Will try the suggestions, since the records are more or less unplayable. | |
| Stevie Ray Vaughan there was a 6-lp set listed in the last Music Direct catalogue, but the 45 rpm set was 12 discs. | |
| Stevie Ray Vaughan Agree that the records do not begin to capture the way SRV played live. Playing in large stadiums, as he did after going nationwide, is not like playing in a bar, where the blues belong. Stadium rock is more constrained, more pressure, less free. ... | |
