      I don't know what is going on with this 10 albums deal on FB, but I can't narrow down to just 10 albums.

        It is one of those chain mail things on FB. You are supposed to pick your top 10 albums, one a day, and tag a friend and they do the same. It it just going around with a few of my friends at the moment.

        I'm always confusing artichokes with anchovies. Easily done.

        And it confuses the artichokes good and proper.

        Joking aside, It's pretty bad, yes. Offensive in one way or another, even. In a restaurant it would get sent back.

        And allergies? could be poisoning someone.

        When your cat enters the heavenly gates, Saint Peter will ask, "what are you doing here?" The cat meows. Peter says, "we only have a surplus of bread and fish." The cat jumps on Peter's lap, Peter sighs. "Okay, you can stay here too."

      Rewiring tonearm wire is such a pain. At least with the small hole for the wire to go through with the automatic stuff in the way.

    "Subjective impressions are great, really. Without them, what's the point..." This only means I try not to listen to the gear rather listen to the music.

    An audio enthusiast with a recording degree. I became an audiophile in college in studying recording to become a mastering engineer. Although I was an intern for Glenn Meadows and also was acquaintances with Ray Kennedy, the stars never quite aligned for me. However I never left pursuing high-end audio.

    I grew up in a radio station as my dad was in radio. My first job was a board op at the talk station where I had to use analog reel to reels, carts, cassettes, and DAT's.

    And yes, I like to tinker with gear. I am an audiophile on a budget. Working IT Instructional Designer only gets you so much income with two kids around. Have you seen how much day care costs these days? Anyways, there are I guess some gains to some gear that can be tweaked to improve the performance. This is no different than car types changing differentials or beefing up the suspension or engine. Some of us can't afford a BMW, but rather have to take a Civic and beef it up with aftermarket parts.

    Tinkering also helps with repairing gear. I have restored some KEF C75 speakers, an Elac Miracord 50H. I have also fixed, soldered, suped up, many other things from crossovers, to cap replacement, to op-amp replacement, etc. I most recently fixed and rebuilt a non-working Dynalo. I took electronics and studio maintenance in college, but I am still learning.

    I have also built: guitar tube amps, guitars, and drums. I love DIY.
