any early 80's alt/soft punk fans out there?
On the more guitar-oriented and less goth side of this stuff The Soft Boys and The Go-Betweens are both excellent. I like a little New Order now and then as well | 118 |

Guitar's...what do the audionuts play?
I usually play a boring ol' 90's American Standard Telecaster. I have some nicer, more collector-type stuff, but for live nothing beats a Tele. The only effect I use on a regular. . . | 47 |

Anyone else in my shoes? Ears going.........
Sadly, yes. I'm only 36. I've tried to wear earplugs whenever possible when playing drums, etc..., but my right ear isn't what it used to be. Thankfully it's not really a ringing . . . | 28 |

which budget integrated amp Rotel, NAD or other

How far away is your Nirvana
For me it's about having a good listening space. Thanks in part to the financial crisis, my wife's good credit, and a healthy amount of dumb luck we finally bought a house in . . . | 16 |

How do you listen to your music?
I am subjected to music I for the most part don't like (or am tired of hearing) all day at work. It usually takes a while after I get home to even be in the mood to listen to music. . . | 15 |

Looking for new monitors - $300-$600 budget
Thanks for the suggestions so far, everyone. I might see about listening to the Dynaudios. This has done nothing to reduce my curiosity about the Tektons. Sigh. I've also been . . . | 14 |

Mega-Speakers from Linn Audio....
I suppose there are plenty of inexpensive products that benefit from mods (Oktava microphones come to mind), but a Behringer amp? Really? No street address listed. No local phone . . . | 11 |

Ipod or MP3 for hold music; mono adapter?
The fewer moving parts the better, although iPods aren't meant to run 24/7 you can always go cheap (like a Shuffle) and replace them when they burn out. I think Apple will provide. . . | 8 |

Nice looking room and system. I have a TS Audio-branded integrated that is identical to the Norh. Never could find much information about it until now. I am pushing Madisound BK-16. . . | 5 |
