CDs Vs LPs
It's my understanding ALL vinyl is manufactured from a digital imprint.  Essentially a CD.  I didn't buy my first CD player and discs until Dec 92.  Over 10 years from when they came out.  4 years later I put my turntable in the garage.  Got rid o... 
Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time?
Left my SA-9900 Pioneer integrated on for 32 years unless I left town was the only time it was turned off.  I have a 1980 mosfet SoundCraftsman that I never turn off.  My 77 Marantz I turn on the night before I use it.

Shopping at Goodwill anyone?
Goodwill's in Florida are all for profit.  Reason being if it's a non profit the Ceo's are only allowed a certain amount and no bonus.  If for profit, the Suit's salary and compensation can be the sky's limit.  I'm pretty sure  All Goodwill's are ... 
Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK?
Back in 1977 I bought an Integrated Pioneer SA 9900 and I got 35 years of joy out it.  It was great design.  All the connections were on the sides and the entire rear end was one big heat sink.  Does anyone know if there were any other integrated'...
