FDA about to ban alcoholic beverages that contain caffeine.

Will the nanny state still allow bartenders to serve rum and Coke?

Irish Coffee?

Vodka and Red Bull?

Kalhua (at 4.85mg caffeine per 1.5 oz pour?)

How about somebody who is going out after last call and wants a coffee with his chili cheese omelette, but he/she has had a few?

Man, first San Francisco wants to ban Happy meals and cirumcisions, now this.

Some lunatics compared him to Dylan but he is no Dylan, he is no Tom Petty either

I can't stand him

I loathe Jazz of any kind...but It looks nice!

The Genius of Miles Davis -
the most comprehensive and lavishly packaged collection ever dedicated to a single musical artist.

Just a quick, well done, for the bit on Turkey. I had no idea...the following bit on Music Hall was just a tad condescending though..

"The advertising agency WHYBIN hired for the Sydney International Food Festival is so clever - they've come up with a really neat concept to promote the festival by creating food flags for the various countries represented. Each food flag contains a food that is generally identified with that country, and as a bonus, the color of the food corresponds with the color of the flag!"

Hi,

I'am new to this community.

This is my first post so please be patient.

I'am after a extremely transparent and detailed 2-channel amp.
This amp will not be used to drive speakers but used to drive my ortho-dynamic headphones using the speaker -out terminals.

I need a cheap,someting even vintage will work,but has to be audiophile quality.
I don't care what it looks like.I wouldn't want to spend more then $200.00 ,therfore I presumea secondhand one would suit me .
I could get a little expensive one if it is nice.

is it for the reviews or the writing? or both?
maybe its the pictures?

only you can tell us -- what do you look forward to with each new Stereophile?*

*this is a leading question, that assumes you look forward to the new Stereophile.

I've had a Cayin A50T amp for over 3 years, with on and off periods of listening (I travel a lot for work), and am curious about a few things:

1. Do tubes degrade over time, or simply fail at some point? Essentially, how do I know when to replace them? What are typical intervals for changing tubes? I cannot tell if the quality has degraded a bit, or if I have become accustomed to the sound. I do bias them.
