Beatles "Butcher Block" Album
If you have one, you can just make out the "Butcher Block" cover through the pasted over replacement. I bought one when it was new and have owned it all this time. Its' supposed to be very valuable, and friends have told me I should have bought ad...

Slipknot, believe it or not, I think it was deleted.Audiogon wrote me with kind words about it's playful view of Audiogon members names, but I guess it had to go for some reason. Maybe if you ask them they could find it in the archives. I would li...

Is this normal?
Wild guess, forgive me if I'm wrong. Perhaps the capacitance of the long run to the outdoor speaker is causing the tubes and / or transformer to resonate along with the music. Sound would be similar to putting your head near a phono cartridge with...
