World's Best Stereo System ?...
'course I do ticat.  
Speakers with deep/powerful bass
I like my older JBL's. I have a pair of L100T's and a pair of L100T3's. Even at low volume I can feel a can of soda vibrating in my hand when listening. At high volume pictures hanging on the wall have crashed to the floor. Got rid of the pictures... 
World's Best Stereo System ?...
The "world's best stereo system" is my own. A. It does what I want it to do. No more, no less. B. It sounds great to me. Better than ever thanks to some advice from Audiogon members. C. It's paid for and I could afford it without taking out a m... 
Blank audio cassettes ARE still made, even in the United States
Sorry Elliot, I misunderstood you. I thought you were selling BLANK tapes. Now I realize you're speaking of pre-recorded tapes. Woops.  
Fluorescent light noise through tuner
 Can't really get too far away from the lights with the antenna. I could test somewhat by hooking stuff up upstairs when I get the time. That would tell me if it's air or the house wiring. That still wouldn't solve the issue downstairs though. Or ... 
American Made Audio Products
@oddiofyl   Yes, they sure do a lot of their work right in Binghamton. All of it I would guess. Just for the record though, they do use some parts made in China. I'm not talking about resistors, capacitors etc. Heavier stuff like heat sinks, spea... 
Best Basic CD Player (no SACD, USB, etc.)
If you want the best bang for the buck, look for an old Harman Kardon HD 7600. The 7400 is pretty much the same  but with less features on the remote control etc. Saw a 7600 on EBay a few weeks ago for $175. I've got a 7600 and a 7400. They sound ...

I have the Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen version of Hot Rod Lincoln.  
Blank audio cassettes ARE still made, even in the United States
I bought some new old stock cassettes a few years ago from a few different sellers but didn't have any luck with them. If I had to guess they weren't stored properly. They didn't record well, poor sound quality. I'm not speaking of what you're off...

Are solo efforts ever better?

What's the oddest thing in your music collection?
A lot of interesting responses here! @jc4659 I HAD to look up Monty Python's Matching Tie and Handkerchief LP with 3 sides. The interesting explanation from Wikipedia is: "The album's original LP edition is particularly notable in that it was ma... 
I can't believe this.
The company should be spelled Ta-Scam.  
Songs of debauchery and excess
@bikeboy52 You’re welcome. That’s one of the many joys of music. It brings up old memories. I never saw Ian Dury and The Blockheads live but that song played a lot on the FM dial back in the day. Being in high school at the time, we adopted it as ...
