How many people here generally buy used?
I kinda fell in love with the Rotel 900 series decades ago. Liked the looks and availability on ebay. Only new piece is the 965 LE cd player because of moving parts for $600. I know this is pretty low rez compared to what you guys have but I could...

Most recordings you own by a single artist, group, or composer
Because I mostly have greatest hits of oldies from 50'-80's, the number for each artist is pretty low. Thank you thrift and Goodwill bins. However I do have about 20 Dead Lps. and cds.  Also 7 or 8 of Eva Cassidy.  
What other Hobbies or Interests Do You Have?
I help my wife run a homeless teen drop-in center. I'm geezer security, gofer, plant waterer, etc. We also help human sex-trafficking victims.  Sometimes frustrating and dangerous work but immensely fulfilling. Although a former gymnast, I've been... 
Most annoying song, period.
Joy to the World by Three Dog Night. Voted #1 for the year at WLS Chicago and it was the worst song on the album. The only good thing about it was it ruined Top 40 for me. Eventually became a Deadhead. The Beatles B.S. where they were definitely l... 
Interesting/unusual concert pairings.
Buddy Guy and Junior Wells opening for Dave Mason at the Iowa Fieldhouse  in the early 70's. BG and JW was the best live performance I've ever encountered and started me on that long road with the blues. And that's coming from an old Deadhead. How... 
Non HDMI reciever hook up advice
The only caveat that I have is some tv's will not always pass through a dolby digital signal to your receiver. In that case you might have to go from source to receiver for audio instead and then use HDMI for video. My brother-in-law's tv wouldn't... 
Wireless speakers
One option is to get the type that provides sender and receiver/amp that allows you to use your own speakers. You still have to plug it in and run shorter cables instead of across the room for surround. Kef sells these for $600. A review of these ... 
If you could bring back one great artist that has
Eva Cassidy. 
Terrible/Inappopriate songs ...
I agree Onhwy61. So many times the "popular" song(s) on an album are no where near the best songs on the album. 
Terrible/Inappopriate songs ...
Agree,Hodu. Having grown up in that era, I think they would make some crappy song to see if it would become a hit just because they are the Beatles. 
Terrible/Inappopriate songs ...
"Joy to the World" by 3 dog night. "Muskrat Love" by America.These are from greatest hits albums.

Problem driving Martin Logan Ascent i's
I heard a 40 watt Golden Tube amp easily handle ML's sweetly. I think there may be some other problem. 
My love of music is killing me.
You definitely have my condolences. When my mom disappeared and it was becoming evident that she was probably dead, it helped to be around the living. It was suggested that I take some time off from coaching but I felt a bunch of laughing kids wou...
