Any fans of Over the Rhine?
I discovered them in 2000. Borders Books (rip) had their album "Good Dog Bad Dog" on a listening station and I was immediately hooked. Their following album ("Films for Radio) in 2001 is my favorite, despite leaning towards electronic dance music ... 
Favorite Cheap Trick song?
"She's Tight," by a landslide. Honorable mention for their xmas song ("I Want You for Christmas").    
Best concert you've attended
Too many shows (500+) to name just one, so: Most "Memorable": Eric Clapton, August of 1974 on the "461 Ocean Blvd" tour. Peter Townsend and Keith Moon showed up and joined in on the fun. Most "Impressive": A tie between a) Jeff Beck, October of ... 
Favorite Led Zeppelin Album
Led Zep I; Led Zep III & Physical Graffiti. Gotta admit, I've recently started listening to Led Zep II again as listener fatigue from being massively overplayed has finally worn off.  
Favorite Beatles Song
Tried to stop at five and then eight (days a week). Settled on a top 10 that spans most of their discography instead: Things We Said Today No Reply I'm Looking Through You If I Needed Someone The Night Before Baby You're a Rich Man Don't Le...

SHARE YOUR SACDs THAT SOUND FANTASTIC!!
One of my go-to SACD's is the debut album by AMERICA. This might seem like an unexpected choice; but, the original album was engineered by Ken Scott and the SACD mastering was done by Steve Hoffman. Coincidentally, Paul McGowans's (PS Audio) dail... 
Aimee Mann
I saw Till Tuesday in 1986. I got very lucky and saw her in 1993 in a small club in Atlanta (The Point) doing an acoustic tour with Dave Gregory of XTC.  Have not managed to see her since; so, I hope that her current tour will make it to my area....

Subwoofer recommendation and wisdom
I have always used one subwoofer in my setup, for a variety of reasons. The sub that finally solved my standing waves issue and also integrated best with my main speakers was the Golden Ear SuperSub X. It retails for $1500 new. The larger model (S... 
used power amp under 1500
@parkergetdean , I totally agree with you and that was also my experience when I was shopping for an amp upgrade. Fortunately, my patience paid off and I pounced when the opportunity presented itself.

+1 on Coda. I'd add Belles and Hegel to your search list. Those were my 3 finalists the last time that I was in your shoes. Went with the Coda and I am thrilled with it.
