What's your favorite lyric from a song? DOH! I should have looked a little farther, HERE's the thread where my .02 counts. "And the 3 men I admire most, the father, son and the holy ghost. Well they caught the last . . .	429
Your ONE all time favorite love song? I don't see how any lover of music can have ONE favorate song. It's like, "Who's your favorate child?"	374

Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 I bought a Sony XA5400es and I'm very pleased. Granted, you don't get the "cool factor" of owning a boutique or lesser known brand but mine bests these players (all of which I've . . .	310
Is this the END of DAYS for the high end CD player I work at a computer 6-7 hours of my work day. It will be a long time before I make a jump to having my music on a hard drive. There is more to life that these damn machines, at . . .	140

Your One "Go To" Recording Walter Becker: 11 Tracks of Whack. Nary a clunker in the bunch	77
Van Halen or Van Hagar An interesting bit of trivia about David Lee Roth. He credits Frank Sinatra as one of his biggest influences as far as singing style goes. You can really hear it at times too. . . .	75
Confessions The Monkees Chuck Mangione	75
the greatest pop song ever? This is kind of a silly thread, who can name ONE "greatest pop song EVER", lol. But having said that, I think "Brandy" by Looking Glass is right up there. . . .	74
Anyone else receive low offers right away ? I'm amazed at what some people think 10 year old CDP's (with 10yo transports) are worth. Meridian 508.24's for $1300? Laughable. I bought one (used) here 6 years ago for $1100 (. . .	73
Best Country/Rock - Poll Walter Salas! OK, I'll bite. Are you the Walter Salas as in one of the founding members of The Silos? If so, I'm not too proud to grovel a bit and say THANK YOU for the album, &. . .	53

Sony XA5400ES vs XA9000ES I agree with Don c55's point that weight alone doesn't determine quality. I've had a dozen (literally) cdp's through my system in the last 7 years and 2 of the lightest ones had . . .	38
Grizzly Man Did anyone see the extra footage of Richard Thompson? lol	38
Rega Saturn. Is it really a giant killer? Do you Saturn owners leave it on 24/7? I see there isn't a "standby" mode	36
Cambridge 840C, YES it is as good as the reviews Mr Bill, I owned an Opus 21 and found TOO detailed, if there is such a thing. The company lives up to its name RESOLUTION Audio. I found it tiresome after several months, plus the . . .	35

Classical Music: A How-To Guide for Beginners I'll speak in broader terms and not suggest any actual recordings. I'd recommend people listen to "chamber music" classical music as it's easier to "digest", . . .	28
CDP to replace vinyl My Resolution Audio Opus 21 comes close, but it STILL doesn't have that soft, woody, warm, smooth "vinyl" sound compared to my 1981 Hitatchi turntable with a $300 . . .	26
What Happened to Neil Young's New Release ??? I thought politics were verboten here, guess not. In that case, I just LOVE rich liberals, and FOREIGN to boot, that love to lecture us. Free speech gives them that right? . . .	24

Which of your component purchases was "magical"? My new (new for me) Pass Labs X1 preamp has completely blown me away. My sound stage has exploded, sounds are coming for WAY outside of my speakers. Sounds are coming from the left. . .	13
What Happened to CD Clubs & Stores to Buy CDs? yourmusic.com is owned by BMG I believe. I've been a member there for over a year. The selection is very similiar to BMG. CD's cost 6.99 total, shipping included (!) but the hook . . .	11
Need artist's name Thanks for all the responses. Don_s, I had done exactly that (Google) and got the same results. None were it though. Vcarv, my first source for any of this type of research is . . .	11

Tube Preamp Isolation I just installed some 3M damping sheets in my Belles 21 that I bought thru AMUSICDIRECT.COM $20 for a set of 4, very cost effective IMO and I can hear a difference. I mounted . . .	11
Musical Fidelity Tri Vista DAC, Should I upgrade? Stringreen: I have a question about your post. Are you sarcastically saying, "That's what we do around here" in the sense that the VERY first post that responded to the . . .	10
Has anyone compared Ayre K-1x to Pass X-1 Hello, I thought I’d throw in my .02 about my experiences with my Pass Labs X-1. I bought a refurbished (and spotless, a 9+ here at Audiogon) X-1 from Reno HiFi and could not be . . .	10
"White noise hiss" through speakers. Arni hit the nail on the head. I just inserted the Creek in the line as a pre (it has "pre outs") and it is dead quiet when used with the MF. I now have to do some A - B . . .	10

Rega Saturn or Sony SCD-XA5400ES ? I currently own the Sony and did own the Rega once as well. Of all the players I've owner, the Rega Saturn was my least favorite in my system. Awkward CD "lid", goofy . . .	8
Good Matching Preamp with Pass Labs X350 I love my Pass Labs X1 preamp. I'm using it with my MF A308cr but may be replacing the MF with a Pass X250 soon. It's not a tube pre, but you'd have that "synergy" thing . . .	7
Do you like Jazz? Jazz is much too crazy, he can play that when he's old	7
Burn-in info for Sony XA5400ES Buco hasn't a clue, ignore him/her. I bought this player new and noticed a tremendous improvement after 100 hours of continuous play. In all honesty I haven't noticed much of a . . .	6

Ayre CX-7E or Musical Fidelity A5? I A/B'd these and the A5 blew the Ayre out of the water. The Ayre is flat and lifeless IMO. FYI ... the Resolution Audio Opus 21 smokes both of these as well	4
Ayre CX-7e V Electrocompaniet 1UP V Esoteric DV50S I owned both an Ayre CX-7e and an Electrocompaniet EMC-1UP for about 60 days (at different times). I'm not good at lofty descriptions of how audio components sound, but I'll try in. . .	2
