| What pets hang out with Audiophiles? Two cats, Paco and Lugnut. Often they both will be on either side of me on the back of the couch when I listen. Lugnut KNOWS when the record is finished because when the stylus is in the lead-out groove he will put his nose on my neck to inform me... | |

| Is Your System Better Than the Music You Like? Hwy61,Your thoughts mirror my experience. In an ideal world we each would have several systems which fit the quality of the software used. I feel fortunate to own a system that provides the widest possible range of compatability (enjoyment) with m... | |

| Why do DIY products have less value ? Twl,My primary hobby has been drag racing. Talk about DIY. Even when my car looks better, drives better and is faster than the pro built cars, I still get remarks that make me scratch my head, like....."Gees, you ported your own heads, huh? Wow, t... | |
