What is going on? No-one buys good stuff priced right.
Seriously...Krell, KEF, Audio Research, Harbeth. Someone tell, me, "WHAT is going on?????" 
Best Component Ever, for the money
NAD 7225PE receiver I bought in 1991 for $349...Musical, dead quiet, reliable, dynamic, smooth, and with an incredible tuner to boot. Still "does it" for me 25 years later. 
Atmasphere amps trustable?
I came home one time, and I found my M-60 Mk II's in BED with my Spendors...I will never get the image out of my mind, and I sold them both the next day. By far the most two-faced, untrustworthy amps I've ever bought. 
What to do with bad recorded CDs
Easy solution... buy speakers and equipment that are non-fatiguing and that allow you to enjoy every recording in your collection. Sadly, some of the most highly touted brands out there do a poor job at this. Avoid those brands and/or models withi...

Quicksilver Remote Control Line stage. Need feedback from current or past owners
I have put thousands of hours on my QS Remote Linestage and can say that it is a superb-sounding preamp. There were 2 versions of this pre, a 12AX7 and 6922, and opinions differ on their sound. I have the 6922 version and have found it to be nothi... 
Best speakers for Pink Floyd?
Right, ATC SCM150's is what Gilmour has in his Astoria studio. I think they'd probably sound pretty good. 
Shipping damage becoming a real issue
A bit off topic, but I'll never forget the NAD 2100 I got from a guy here on A-gon. He has "protected" the amp with old, ratty bath towels and LEAVES from his yard! When I called him, he said in all seriousness, "Yeah, what's wrong with that?" Of ... 
Your Best Tweak Lately
Wow! OMG! Who thought that something as simple as fuses would make such a big difference!! I'm going to go out and try this!!! Thanks soooooo much!!!!!!

Steve Perry ruined Journey? What? He is only on the most incredible voices EVER in rock, and I dare anyone who heard them/him live to argue. In form, his voice was spectacularly good. 
How did you contract "Audiophilia"
I remember it as clear as yesterday. 1988 and 15, I walked into Audio Alternative in Columbia, SC and the smell of NADs, Denon, and Paradigms was as sweet as any perfume. Then I became a true addict when I moved to Charleston at 18 and saw the rea... 
Repair a Rel Britannia B-3?
Wow, there goes my search for a B-series. 
How well respected our EAR products
Correction: didn't oversee, but did design components. 
How well respected our EAR products
Paravicini personally oversaw and custom designed many of the electronics for David Gilmour's floating studio, Astoria. If it's good enough for Gilmour, I'd say he's pretty much a badass. 
HD Radio vs Analog FM
I also listen to KCRW…it's da bomb.
