Audiophiles often find themselves the go-to person for audio advice and shopping assistance. Have you ever helped someone buy their first audio system? How did it go?

You were the only one who acted on my post. You are up around 20%, as per my vague recollection. You bought when gold was "too high," and, once again, the Great Yellow Turd is "too high...er."
I don't predict this shit. But you are now sitting on 20%, while others are butt-fucking each other for 3%.
Hold that coin.
Now that gold is busting higher, the media geeks are questioning the move. And the apocalyptic freaks are foreseeing the end of days. Neither will be right.

Hi
I'm looking for a Y cable with RCA male plugs at the Y end and a 1/4 inch male microphone plug at the other. There are a million of these with mini-plugs at that end (most of them are in drawers scattered around my house), but I haven't seen any with 1/4 inchers. Should I stop looking and get an adaptor with a 3.5 mm female socket at one end and 1/4 inch male at the other, or does any know of the perfect Y cable?
Regards

One of my New Reference/Hifi Test albums(and the music is great too)
I was picking Pat Leonard's brain (he is a mega producer/engineer/composer) about the making of "Amused to Death" and he mentioned that "Toy Matinee" was his favorite album, the one he was most proud of making..
anyway, got it and it blows me away. Sounds great, fantastic songs...

I recently got a new full time job at a really nice pawn shop. I am the only person there that really knows anything about 2 channel systems so I volunteered to maintain all of the 2 channel components being put out on the floor. We pulled an entire stereo system today and I decided to put the whole thing out as a demo display. The system includes a lot of lower end Kenwood components but also has some higher end filters and such.
The Components are as follows:
My thought on the new, deluxe edition on Sheryl Crow's "Tuesday Night Music Club"
I made this for my blog and I thought some people around here might find it of interest as well.

Ive always been into music but got back into hifi about 4 years ago.
You spend a little while chasing a reasonable sound, most normal people stop at that point. Once you have a decent system you start to get picky and look for improvements, the thing that ive now totally accepted is that we are wasting a lot of time and money.
