Crossover and Wiring Upgrade
Don't make Frankensteins out of Fabers!  
Pulled the trigger on a Moon 861! Hope it pairs well on my Focals

Single way or multiway
No highs, no lows, must be Bose  
Faulty powered speaker - repair or trash?
Another +1 for buy something new  
Ozzie Ozbourne is Dead
@dekay "run into Ozzy and Sharon". That's cool.  
Ozzie Ozbourne is Dead
Really liked him. His lyrics were honest and sincere. I think was misinterpreted by many, including myself, because of not really listening to the words. Yesterday my workout music was Ozzy.  
What is your vinyl commitment?
Zero. Sold last 'table and all records back when CDs came out. CDs, SACDs, HDCDs only since then. Happy camper.  
The cool factor- who has it?
Michael Jackson Elvis Bob Seger Prince Frank Sinatra Eric Clapton Buddy Holly  
CD's or Vinyl?
CD only for me. Got rid of all other sources and media over the decades. Very happy with CDs, SACDs and HDCDs, especially remastered versions.  
Focals latest - Cat Houses?
Yikes!  Butt ugly.  
Why certain music gives us the chills, AKA Frisson
How well the music is recorded determines how many times I get goosebumps while listening. Great recordings often trigger multiple episodes of them.  
Leave it on?
My source component and my amps have a standby feature. The manufacturers both recommend turning them off when not listening. They do sound better after fully warm. I turn everything on 30 minutes before starting to listen and we're good to go.  
Does cover art of an album or recording influences your purchase?
No. I buy albums for the music, but I definitely like interesting covers better than generic ones.  
Weakest Link in my system... Power Supply, DAC, or...
Another +1 for room treatments. Best bang for the buck by far.  
Speaker choice
Standmounts, good stands,  and a pair of subs. Subs transform a system.
