New Look for Audiogon hard to work with
Audiogon, please revert changes immediately.  Everything is worse. 
Better than my 32" Sony Wega XBR?
I have the 34" Sony XBR picture tube (16:9). The punk weighs 230 lbs. Never seen a LCD that touches it-even the new XBR 120 Hz "motion flow" flat screens.BluRays from the PS3 are a dream. We watched cars a few nights ago. It was ASTOUNDING. 
Give the new Kid Rock a shot.
I'll take a listen. I'm always in the mood for new music. Too bad these guys can't get in mood. There's some great stuff out there when you let go.Lucas

Any experience with the Proac Response 5?
From what I read, the Response 4 wasn't that great of a speaker. I haven't got to listen to the 5, but I can say that the D80 sounded great. Great range and detail, absolutly a large speaker. I heard them in a large room. They are listed at about ... 
what kind of audiophile are you ?

Brass door knobs as footers
Ghosthouse, you are very close. The brass cones 'couple' the speaker to the floor and thus act as a vibration 'sink', sort of like a heat sink. If carpet, or rubber feet, are between your speaker and floor, then the speaker will be isolated and th... 
First cd purchase
AC/CD - Back in Black, Stone Temple Pilots - CoreI think it was around 94. I had mostly recored songs off the radio onto a cheap tape deck before those discs. 
Audiophile movie
WOW! That was an excelent documentary. Hollywood could sorely use some people like this guy. 
Can you imagine a world without vinyl?
WOW! What a collection. Anytime you need anyone to come by, clean a few records, make sure that they still work, you let me know. I'll buy a plane ticket and sleep in the garage.MY only question is how do you possibly enjoy it all? Assuming an LP ...
