Handel Water Music - best CD? - Performance Recording
Gerard Schwarz, Los Angles Chamber Orchestra on Delos. The recording was done in late 1980. It is a two mike, true stereo recording. IMHO it is OUTSTANDING. 
Music you might have missed
If you ever liked Emerson, Lake and Palmer you may just like Synergy aka Larry Fast. Starting in 1975 with "Electronic Realizations for a Rock Orchestra" he created a series of solo moog/syn albums. The CD's were resently re-engineered and remaste...

What tube preamp to get to smooth out the sound?????
I have the AES-3 Pramp standard model with oil caps. I to purchased from Upscale Audio. It is $750.00. I had used an Adcom 450 tuner/pre for years and wanted to smooth out the CD glear. The odd looking thing continues to amaze me the longer I use ... 
Krell , Martin Logans Mark Levinson?
I have a Krell 200 (not the “C”)and I understand your issue. The Krell drives my Thiels great but can be harsh in the middle ranges, at least for my taste. I solved my problem by using an AE-3 tube line level pre amp. It was relatively inexpensive... 
Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope?
My wife is very understanding. She understands I could be into any number of hobbies, which cost tons more money and take me out for the weekend. 
2nd system at Lake home...advice?
Think about Jolida JD 302 or 502 integrated tube amp, either can be gotten on the net used for a decent price. The tubes will look great by the glow of a fire and sound even better. 
Best Value Speakers??

Little Feat! They have been rocking my world since the early 70's. 
Krell KSA150 or Aragon8008BB
I got a 4 year old Krell fpb 200 over the internet. A few months later it started to smoke and quit. I called Krell and told them how I ended up with the amp.and gave them the serial number. They gave me an RA number and off it went. I called two ... 
old zz top recordings
For me ZZ Top’s CD’s will never sound as good as the LP’s back in the 70’s. I am not STONED or DRUNK and now I will hear all tops and nicks in the wrapped vinyl platters.Hey dude, hand me a penny to weight down the needle so it won’t skip. 
What is your OTHER passion?
If I get another hobby I will need a good Lawyer!
