| Have you ever thought it would be cool to have a stereo reviewer come to your house? I kind of had that happen once. I bought a vpi record cleaner from a local audiophile. Before he came over I asked him about his system. He got back to me with photos of his 3 systems. Blew my mind. I tried pricing them out and came to around 400... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Is it just me or is Jeff Beck's Truth and Ola LP's (with Rod Stewart at his best) some of the best rock EVER recorded? | |
| What are your Eureka Moments in this Hobby? As a kid interested in music I frequented a hi fi store in LA. 1982. The salesman sat me down to show me the new Miller & Kreisel M&K S-1B Satellite and sub speakers. He put on 'School, by Supertramp. When the kid screams during the intr... | |
| Anyone in this hobby lonely like me and wish they could “hang” with a fellow audiophile? Growing up in the 60’s and 70’s I was already heavily into music. I had a ’55 Ford wagon in which I drove 8 or so kids to school in once I could drive. I bought my first car cassette player (by Norelco). and wired two lame box speakers in the back... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Played through most of Al Stewart's albums. Wow, he's so much better than I remember. Has a kind of mystical feeling in a lot of his work, which I love. | |

Bowie 'Memory of a free festival' We scanned the skies with rainbow eyes and saw machines of every shape and size We talked with tall Venusians passing through And Peter tried to climb aboard but the Captain shook his head And away they soared... | |

| Favorite moment with music in your car. 1980 I'd just broken up with a girl named Joyce. My buddies and I hopped into a friend's car. They had a surprise for me. One guy put on Devo's 'Freedom of choice', and they all began to sing alone with it using slightly tweaked lyrics, "Freedom... | |
| Those rare albums that are great on first listen. Sandy Denny 'An old fashioned waltz' Joni Mitchell 'Ladies of the canyon' Best of Etta James | |
| Favorite moment with music in your car. I forgot to mention regarding my first post. That cassette deck in the car had a mic jack. I still have a tape or two filled with my 17 year old self and friends hamming it up. I even recorded a cop giving me the 3rd degree when he pulled me over.... | |
| Favorite moment with music in your car. Just a couple years ago. Imagine a very rainy day near Portland Oregon. The rain has just ended, there were puddles everywhere. I turn up the car stereo, some classical station. A very lively song comes on, can't remember which one. At that point... | |

Includes a song that'll make your spirit soar. Western States Motel. There's just something about this chill ind... |
