If you could bring back one great artist that has
I don't know if anyone considered him great, but I don't see anybody mentioning his name, Jim Croce. 
Is there any bad sounding high-end gear--?
Every piece of equipment I have bought in the last ten years, a friend of mine doesn't like. Although everything I own costs probably 2-3 times the stuff he has, he still doesn't like it. B&W, PSB & NAD is all he wants to hear, and those a... 
Power cord for low-watt tube amp?

What about 7"45's anybody still listen to them?

I have the Anti-cable IC, and the Morrow MA-1.I definitely like the MA-1 better.

Speaker footers – Ugh
I use, first, a two inch thick cutting board from Home Depot, which is spiked with carpet piercing spikes, to a concrete floor, then, my speakers rest on a combinationof DH Labs ceramic cones, one large one in the front, and one small one at each ... 
The CD player is dead.......
If the CD player is so dead, then howcome artistsare still releasing their new music on them all the time? 
The CD player is dead.......
