"In the end the one feature killing the total love on these machines is the fact it can't do the most simple function of saving the place on a DVD to return to it later!"Check out the Sony BDP-S550... problem solved!A fantastic player otherwise too. 
Top Jazz Albums of 2008
"The Art and Soul of Houston Person" is my pick.A 3-CD set with lots of standards (Porter, Kern, Ellington, Rodgers et al), well played and exceptionally well recorded. 
Black Raviolis

Speaker shock absorbers
I have had great success with "Unhappy Balls". They work in this application to 1) absorb vibration 2) do so while remaining stiff. Halve the large size (1-1/2" Diameter) ones for a secure fit. http://scientificsonline.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_3039129

Ornette Coleman...
Warrenh,Glad to hear you are enjoying it too. Well, you already have one of two that I'd recommend, TSOJTC. The other would be something quite a bit different, 1960 Free Jazz (A Collective Improvisation). I expect to grab a copy of This Is Our Mus... 
Ornette Coleman...
Tomorrow Is The Question! has been in my regular rotation for past two months. What a well balanced and extremely approachable work. If only I had heard that one years ago, I'd be much further along. It has been only over the past year that I have...
