| Songs of debauchery and excess Without question, the song that says it all: Ian Dury and The Blockheads- Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll | |
| Only two tracks to test your system, forever! Â Led Zeppelin - Anything I grab from the shelf, it's all good Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture (1950's version with commentary & real cannon fire) | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? I myself was SHOCKED to hear steel guitars are actually made of wood. Now that's a ripoff! 🎸 | |
| Types of Audiophiles I'm in a category not named, The Conservative. I'm somewhat like The Nostalgic except I'm not disappointed. I bought the best equipment I could afford at an earlier age. It was and is the best sound quality I ever had. I've never had better so how... | |
| Am I Getting Soft Here? You're not getting soft edcyn. You're just being real. My whole system cost about $7500 in 1990. Though I recently had everything refurbished, I'm still enjoying it. It's mine, it was the best I could afford at the time, it sounds great to me and ... | |

| Time/Process of Hooking up New Equipment I just brought home an amplifier from the shop tonight. It's about 52 degrees outside. 70 in the house. I'll hook the amp up tomorrow. Condensation can fry things in a heartbeat. I take no chances and wait a day. | |
| Most economical way to ship large speakers?  I work in the shipping industry as a truck driver. I assure you that you will find some shipping options cheaper than others. I can also assure you that the cheapest ones are most likely to destroy your freight. They will probably even give you ... | |
| Record collecting versus hoarding I never counted them but I probably have about 500 titles. I still have the first CD I ever purchased, Pink Floyd's A Momentary Lapse of Reason. Mine is not a huge collection but I don't own anything I've ever regretted buying. Some titles are lis... | |
| Where did you buy your first audio gear? One of those Rent To Own places, about 40 years ago. It was a Sansui rack system. I added a Pioneer CD player the second year they came out. I also swapped out the speakers for a pair of JBL 80t's. This wasn't exactly high end but I was only 17 at... | |

I ordered a set of 12' Mogami Gold interconnects. The name was mentioned the most and I really like what I read about them. Th... |
