I Just Don't Get Video
At the foot of the bed? Maybe it's time for counselling? 
Stereo imaging. How is it done?
With two channels: pretty poorly. 
Your opinion on cable spending
Opinion on cable spending : don't. 
Who's the Cadillac of Hi-End Audio?
Anarchy, Italian cars are better made than Japanese cars? I rest my case as to the pathetic level of your knowledge of things automotive. I think that I have made my point that in cars like in audio, a lot of folks here would rather believe storie... 
Who's the Cadillac of Hi-End Audio?
Quite strange, assuming for sake of argument that you are right when you are actually patently wrong, that Japanese cars are made with "poor quality parts", Toyotas and Lexus are probably the most reliable cars out there, bar none, with a host of ... 
Who's the Cadillac of Hi-End Audio?
Geez, if your knowledge of cars is better than your knowledge of audio, the latter must be pretty dismal. It's as though you have not test-driven a Japanese car in a while. Let's just say that generalizations are usually false, and leave it at that. 
Tom Waitts Where do I begin?
Uppermidfi could possibly change his moniker to "Lowerlevelatormusic". Now back to the question: I feel that there are three periods in Wait's music, although you will not find any great line dividing them if you were to listen to all his albums i... 
Norah Jones on Bluenote??
My initial reaction also. Then again, some folks tell me not to pigeonhole things and not to live in the past. Come to think of it most of those "people" are my own kids! Kind of like Ms. Norah, but to call it Jazz is a disservice to the genre. Ho... 
Favorite Ella Recordings
I would strongly recommend getting the boxset of "Songbooks". Not a dud in all of them. If you shop around, you can probably get a deal on a brand new box set for around $200. If you like Ella, the best $200 you will ever spend, I can assure you. ... 
Review: Magnepan 3.6R Speaker
Hi, does that "jaw dropping realism" include playing all types of music at realistic levels, or is it limited to polite music at realistic levels or dynamic music at polite levels? How about Rock, can that be played anywhere near "realistic levels... 
Infinity Prelude MTS
What 61 said makes a lot of sense. However, being able to tell where each and every musician is on the soundstage is more a function of the recording than anything else. Moreover, at least to my ears, an orchestra or other large group when ensembl... 
Good automatic TT's
Why not simply try to find an Audio-Technica lifter or something similar to avoid sprinting to the tt? 
You used to love it but now.......................
Inuit throat music I used to love, but it just isn't the same for some reason. 
A prospective Teres owner with questions
I can vouch for the fact that good 'ol TWL only uses the axe on digital components! 
How long should vinyl last?
For some reason, my musings on the longevity of vinyl in this thread have disappeared. Not to be too cute, but what exactly is meant by the word "last"? It seems that vinyl has been recast into a medium without fault, better yet; its faults are no...
