My Father's Place ?
It was an extraordinary time, amazing, historic music could be regularly experienced for less than 10 bucks!  Here's an example.  I caught a group; Winters Consort (the band that fathered Oregon!), who played 2nd to Procol Harum at the the Fillmor... 
My Father's Place ?
It's sad that, unlike the Fillmores's, a comprehensive list of all the acts and dates that appeared there apparently doesn't exist.  Its great fun (if you were a regular, I was!) to go to the Fillmore website and see the shows I went to with the c... 
Who still listens to their First Generation Cd Players?
Of all my 'oldies' the one I most regret losing is my Mission DAD7000.  Basically a modded ol' skool Magnavox, she was sweet! 
Sound Anchor Stands
Bought my SA stands 27 yrs ago when I bought my Spendor S100's!  When I bought them they didn't come with any 'badges' or anything.  Last year I contacted SA and asked about purchasing a set of badges for my stands.  The lady was very kind and tol... 
Takes one to know one
I've always felt that Levon's last records before passing are the most 'Band-ish' sounding.  I'm sure all you Band fans have them but I most highly recommend Dirt Farmer and Electric Dirt to anyone that hasn't.  Outstanding music!  His live 'Rambl... 
Quincy Jones Interview
Q stopped being relevant to me when he 4ever linked himself at the hip to MJ.  This interview read like the ramblings of a stoned out old goober!

The New Spendor Classic 1/2
I've owned my Spendor S100's for 28 yrs(!).  IF I ever need to make a change, I've always believed the Harbeth 40.1's would be my next 'great ones'! 
Store auditioning and then buying on-line from others. How do you feel about it ?
As far as paying 'fees' for a dealers time when yr at their store.  I'd try to always buy a few accessories or LP's (if available).  The dealer never knew I was doing this to ease my conscience!;) 
On/Off switch for RM_9 Mk1 does anyone know the voltage that isneeded for switch?
Just last week I called Ram labs with a question about my RM9.  Got voicemail so (at their suggestion) I emailed them.  Roger answered in less than 24 hrs, with a suggestion that actually solved my problem!  Can't ask for much better customer supp... 
Greatest rhythm sections
Don Grolnick, Will Lee, & Steve Gadd have been the rhythm section for SO many great bands and records! 
Jazz for aficionados
Wassup fellas!  Been awhile.  Don't come around A'gon much anymore but it's cool to see you guys are still going strong!  Very quickly re: the comment of Chris Potter being in the Brecker/Berg/Mintzer school of sax players.  It sounded dismissive ...

South Florida - join in and make a REAL effort!
I'll bite.  I'm in Wellington (WPB).  I'm curious, Tomaras....eres Latino?  I've always considered the LACK of activity amongst the Latino audiophile community a curiosity.  Never a peep from them anywhere, especially regarding the music!  For lit... 
Lifters ForGetting Cables Off The Floor, Worth It Or Snake Oil
So....I have 10' long cable going from my amp to my spkrs.  Back in the day, due to logistics, my rack was closer to my left spkr than my right resulting in the cable to the right not touching the floor while the left needed to be coiled, obviousl...
