Do Audiophiles really like music?
I hope it was clear that I was joking? 
Cars R OK, but what kind of motorcycle do you have
MarcoI was already a fan but now you have my total respect. Re "studs" yes, an excellent idea. I have been thinking on the trickier days this winter, that perhaps I also need a winter bike, in addition to the sports bike.Although I love the sport ...

Do Audiophiles really like music?
I'm with Marco. I never really thought about music until I went into my local shop and saw all the equipment I could buy. Whatever the music was, I thought all the cool gear would impress my friends and neighbors.So to be honest, I not really obse...

Ergonomics of Classic Recording Studio Gear

Car Audio
EldaradoI have read many of your posts and think they are usually thoughtful and well informed, but in this case, you sound like you need a vacation.I am not defending the fidelity of car audio because it "floats my boat". As an aside, I dont even... 
Car Audio
EldaradoObviously conditions are not ideal in a car, compared to say, a recording studio. But to be honest, I never understood this reaction to car audio. Just because we may add road noise or face challenges with reflections or speaker placement,... 
Car Audio
In the 80's car audio was getting very, very good. I have mentioned in another thread that my biamped Nakamich and a/d/s system with mini monitors and well recorded cassette tapes sounded unbelievably good, and much more musical than a lot of "hig... 
Cars R OK, but what kind of motorcycle do you have
