The Beatles vs. The Rolling Stones
Throw in Pete Best, and the match is on! The birds can watch, but someone better card Wyman's girl. 
Mastering for CD vs. Vinyl
Exilibris, I just took a look at your system, and I'm convinced that it's just not up to the caliber of the recording. Only kidding...incredible system you have!I'm with Synthfreek on this one. Built to Spill is such an amazing rock band that I'll... 
What are the best tube amps for Klipschorns?

What are the best tube amps for Klipschorns?
I've been told that tubes provide smoothness and warmth that can't be found in ss amps.I would certainly agree with that statement. Yet because it is specifically punch & detail that you don't want to give up, I would advise sticking with SS. ... 
Donald Fagen's Nightfly - Love it or Hate it?
Whoa! What a buzzkill.Sorry about that. I don't dislike the album. It's just a little too perfect a puzzle for my tastes. 
What are the best tube amps for Klipschorns?

APL NWO2.5 ?
Where will Alex be in five years when your unit fails?If you own the same player five years from now, you ain't no stinkin' audiophile!Enjoy the Meridian. It's a very nice player. 
RUSH on INHD...
although they are very tight and talented motions (he is amazing to watch)...I just felt like his heart wasnt in it.Throughout their history, many have seen Peart as a soul-less techician. He's is certainly a perfectionist, a workaholic at the kit... 
For Diana & Cassandra fans
I am not a Diana Krall fan, but I love Cassandra and Patricia Barber as well!The Chesky website comparison to Cassandra Wilson is probably more accurate than my inclusion of Diana Krall. Sorry about that. 
Who Do You Credit For Getting You Into This Hobby?
once i was exposed to live music, i wanted to try to recreate the sound of acoustic instruments, to the best of my ability.Mr. T, out of curiosity, who told steered you away from the shift key and into audiophile haiku?
