The Tragic Decline of Music Literacy (and Quality)
@whart   Thanks for the Snarky Puppy mention.  Listening right now on Tube.....how have I not heard of them?  Fantastic.....  Sammy Miller next.... 
Best song for immediate impact when presenting or testing?
Anything from the extensive 'Plasmatics' catalog......;-) 
What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why?
Well, I'm old and retired and don't have a ton of money.  The mint condition Dahlquist DQ10's I picked up last summer for $375. 
Dahlquist DQ10
Yes.....they do sound incredible.  Free is a very good price!  #6 on this list....http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/the-12-most-significant-loudspeakers-of-all-time/ 
Do you ever do this before you listen?
Just a little sarcasm Erik!   My brain is still intact......mostly....haha 
Do you ever do this before you listen?
So I guess snorting water straight outa the tap is a no-no? 
Do you ever do this before you listen?
Valsalva.......learned a new word today.  And that's always a good thing!  Thanks! 
Do you ever do this before you listen?
A simple yawn will accomplish the same thing.....much like it does on an airplane.  Or just hold your nose when you sneeze.....jk of course!

You'll probably have to have the woofers re-foamed for sure if it hasn't been done.  You'll know for sure once you pull the grills off or hook them up.   
Favorite band or artist of all time?
Plasmatics.... 
Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result?
Yes....and depending on the recording, sometimes don't need it.  Really added a subtle improvement to some of my Zappa....

Great responses here but no one has addressed the fact that unless you have a great source to buy clean, well cared for records... your records will still sound like crap no matter how much you spend.  You mention snap, crackle and pop in the firs... 
Does anyone use white gloves to handle records?
It's so easy with 40 + years of practice....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RHniaS6UPE 
New $24,000 inter-connect
Just got mine....made my $5 JVC garage sale CD player sound like an OPPO.... 
Does anyone use white gloves to handle records?
So if I wear one brown glove and one white, does it mean....well, you know.
