Lyra helikon or ZYX R-100 Fuji
Kehut-great response, and thank you. Your preference? I have heard the Argo i and liked it very much. I recognise the lean character too, but hear the speed and quality of the sound, rather than quantity alone. Have not heard ZYX, yet too some deg... 
Angriest Lyric/Vocal
Marianne Faithfull's "why d'ya do it", off album Broken English is seriously venomous. 
"new country" music recomendations please
Wooooh! such a huge reponse with so many artists to chase up. A great majority I have not heard of as down here in Australia country is not main stream, which will no doubt prevent me from seeing Mary Gauthier live as Agaffer recomends. We do have... 
First song to "Blow You Away"...
Very recently, Mary Gauthier "Falling out of love" 
ESOTERIC, WADIA -- How do they really sound?
Yes, it can make assessment very subjective. In relation to your query I will make the following comments, based on my own journey:I believe speakers make the biggest single impact to sonics-based on their ability to produce a desired "flavour" of... 
non over sampling DAC better than 24/96 or192 DAC?

Any Opinios on Genesis II.5
I have a copy of the 6 page Stereophile review of Jan 1995 by Robert Harley. I can post or fax if you wish, or can give answers from info provided in review. I almost bought some a year ago, but backed off for no specific reason other than cost--t... 
Tube Amp Recommendation
Aronov LS 960 60W stereo or LS 9100 100W monos could be worth a look for well under $3000 used-around $1300 and $2000 respectively. I dont know them well but am considering them myself. 
Looking for an incredibly dynamic preamplifier
I am another FS owner (deluxe mkII) who is able to comfortably endorse them. They are dynamic,detailed, tonally "right",articulate, refined and nuetral(subject to tube rolling). I have compared to AR refI, and FS was in all ways better--sorry no W...
