| Extension cable on Stax earspeakers I use A 12'extention (model???) with Stax sr80 pro phones and do not notice any ill effects, but frankly I have never done a careful a/b comparison. | |

| Do you ever wonder? Whoops, I forgot:Little River bandLynyrd SkynrdEngland Dan and John Ford ColeyDr. HookDidn't used to get them...but after closer scrutiny I do now. | |
| Do you ever wonder? I used to wonder about Philip Glass but haven't thought about him for awhile?I used to wonder about these names but mostly can appreciate them now after looking more closely.Sometimes I think people often don't get something that others do because... | |
| US vs Japanese Beatles remasters Don't whichever recordings cost the most always sound better to us even if they are not? | |
| Bookshelf Speakers? Second the Triangles. Hard to beat. | |
