| Number of yrs. to reach the finished line? Did you notice that most of us "old farts" have been playing with equipment for a long, long time and hope(I can only speak for myself)to do so until we can't hear any more. I feel like a pup compared to some of you elder statesmen! | |
| Number of yrs. to reach the finished line? I can remember my first "system" back in the late 60's. Hope to God I never find that I'm satisfied. I look here daily to see what else I can play with hoping that I'll find something that will "move my soul" | |
| What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's? "Road to Hell" Chris Rea was a very talented dude! | |
| Wadia 861 Output Level Adjustment I probably have one at the house with my owner packet. If no one else gets back to you earlier, I can email the info this evening...skip | |

| Recommendations for a used Receiver I would buy an Integra! I believe there's a DTR 8.9 HT receiver which will do everthing you want and do it very well. You will have a great receiver that has reasonable power and you can bi-amp the front channels. The Integra receivers sound great... | |
| The Best Audiophile Earphones headphones and Amp Word to the wise...take it slow. I,too, have a pretty decent 2 channel system and thought that I'd like to enter into the headphone arena.

| Quick poll How long have you been in this hobby? I remember "assisting" my dad building some speaker enclosures back in the late 50's and since then have always had some kind of system going. He sucked me in at an early age and have been in it ever since...I can't imagine a world without music! | |
| Favorite Music DVD? If you like blues, try Joe Bonamassa's Live from Royal Hall blue ray. Very talented musician and singer/songwriter..If you're a Pink Floyd fan(and even if you're not) rent or buy "Remember The Night" David Gilmour Live at The Royal Albert Hall Blu... | |
| Quick poll: Listening at night, lights ON or OFF ? As dark as I can get it. The only lights I like to see are the ready light on my amp and the track info on the cd player. It's probably psychological, but music sounds better in the dark because your sense of sight is out of play. I'll even go aro... | |
| Do I really need a newer Reciever ? I faced the same choice a few months ago. Most all of the newest receivers all have HDMI connectivity and one cable per component for all audio and video inputs is so much simpler. If your BlueRay player can decode,then as Dweller mentioned, you c... | |
| Why the Blues Really Hit The Spot I probably enjoy listening to the blues more than any other music. I guess it's the ability of the blues guitarist to really immerse himself into the music. The electric guitar, properly played by the artist, has an uncanny ability to make the lis... | |
