How many dancing audiophiles out there?
Basement, drinking helps...a lot. Good luck 
Todays Raido Stations suck
Thanks, Unclejeff, nice of you to say. I was wrong about equalizing the 1965 and 2000 Top 40, but neither represent what I consider the best music. While I don't care for Korn's songs (maybe I'm too old by six, seven years), they definately can pl... 
What should well placed speakers sound like?
I know when placement is right when the highs and lows are balanced with the mids. With mine anyways there is some play left for soundstage, as in to have vocals in the middle when they should be. This play really just pertains to the distance bet... 
Hale Rev 3s
(Not like there's a huge difference, but Hales go down to three ohms and the slope is steep.) I am using the robust Classe 70, so my speakers are experiencing a little over 100 nominal, and its fine, but if I were buying an amp I would go for all ...

Oh, I'd bet whatever kids listen to while their teens will be playing in their retro-minds and considered, in some way, classic 35 years from now. While I personally think you are overstating Top 40 1965, there is no doubt it is better than presen...

"To start from the top all radio wasn't always like this."Oh, sure. It would be great to cruise around listening to cool, local djs and good music. Cooler than the less personable XM and CDs. No one I know respects radio. What else can you do, but...

Well if there is no acceptible solution, I guess your done. Just forget about it. What good does complaining do? You all are complaining about top 40 garbage, and, looking at 1965 Billboard, top 40 has always been a waste. Edgy, innovative artists...

I don't XFM and Sirius and I don't net radio b/c my lame internet connection. I do know they are pretty cool, though, far beyond radio programming. Personally, b/c I am a major study-nerd, I rely on friends and their friends and so on, who are thr...

Bitch, bitch, bitch about the obvious...at least there is XFM and Sirius and million net-broadcast stations, which are pretty cool. And, if you cannot find good rock bands, blame yourself, b/c they're there.Have a miserable day, 
Why so few pictures posted in Virtual systems?
Grown people swapping pictures of their stereos...I dunno, doesn't do much for me. I may post my at-bay V-system, but depsite my digital camera ownership, its not going to be a pictorial. 
High End Myth Glossary.
300-400 hour break-in. Even if it is true, anyone who says "you need to give it 400 hours before it really shines" needs to be smacked. 
Amp under $1000 for Electronica...
Synthesizers are mostly immune to being warmed up by warm sounding components, but are affected by high freq. roll off, characteristic of some tube amps. Electronica bass really saps wattage, so an amp with guts and power, I think, should be a pri... 
VTA Adjustment
I apologize for the way I worded my statement. What I meant was that there is no reason why you would know that ASL is particularly unresponsive to consumers. One would naturally assume some sort of complaint to a dist. would be worthwhile, but in... 
VTA Adjustment
Anyone who owns a hifi TT should be versed in the setup geometries, including how each geomety affects sound and how changes in one affects other geometries. When you find out what VTA is, it should be obvious how to change it on the Spacedeck.NA ... 
What's your latest "Discovery"
The Shins "Oh, Inverted World". Its indie pop/rock, but it is well recorded, so maybe audiophiles might like too. Great album, cool lyrics. I also got the American IV album. Despite the album's total fragmentation, and the "Personal Jesus" cover, ...
