| The Midnight Effect - Who-How? I have studied this occurrence in depth and it is clear the quality of the sound is directly tied to the quality of the whisky. | |
| What's up with the price of Vintage equipment? Remember, for many people sound equipment is all about the flashy lights, and lots of buttons & knobs, not the quality of the music | |
| eBay In my experience, ebay has often charged too much for sales tax for my state. When questioned their response was basically “we’re not going to change anything” | |
| Favorite Obscure Rock Song @rick_n You are "spot on" with that one. Listened to it again last night along with "Cinema Show". I still go back to "Arriving Somewhere But Not Here" by Porcupine Tree from time to time. It has a nice complexity and depth. | |
| Will audio gear be ok in unheated house I have had a stereo system in my barn for 10 years with no problems. Yamaha NS 690 speakers & NAD 2400 amp. Temps would get below freezing a couple times each winter. And below zero the year we lost electricity. | |

| Whats playing on your system today? Tonight it is "The Odyssey" by Symphony X. On a good system it will just blow you away! | |
| Whats playing on your system today? @normb 100% Agreement on Porcupine Tree. Their latest remaster of "Arriving Somewhere" is masterful | |
| What is your most fond musical memory. Drinking beer with Peter Frampton and Steve Miller backstage before the David Bowie concert. Sat on the floor of a hallway and partied with them for an hour before the show and didn't even know who they were until they took the stage and sta... | |
| Mental and auditory acuity, and aging I"ve had Tinnitus for 50 years, so it takes a really nice setup to keep my attention. Otherwise I get music fatigue really fast |
