Long lost songs
I've heard others say that Pentangle's is the best version and I usually love everything Buckley did; but after the Jaynettes' I think I like Judy Collins' best, and I'm not any sort of Collins fan. She sort of takes the eeriness of the original a... 
Long lost songs
Scored a copy of "Sally Go 'Round The Roses" by the Jaynettes, 1963.It got into my head and I downloaded versions by Judy Collins and Susanna Hoffs.Here's another interesting version:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLIUK6yY4es 
What's your favorite lyric from a song?

Meldhau, Raitt
Although I am a great fan of Bonnie, I only bought this a year ago. Around the same time I downloaded her iTunes original album iTunes Originals: Bonnie Raitt Highly recommended! "I can't Make You Love Me" has to be my al...

Please , Thank you.Help in choosing a CD or a CD/Universal player
I wish Primare made a universal player. Wait a minute. Who am I kidding? I wouldn't be able to afford it. Love my I32, though. 
I learned the hard way
Did this thread get mixed up with the "Would you change your amp selection knowing...?"  one???I actually let my wife influence me into replacing a really lovely pair of Boston Acoustics T-830s with a Bose Acoustimass set-up because it fit into he... 
Would you change your amp selection knowing...?
What would be considered high capacitance in, say a 10' speaker cable? 
Speakers "Disappearing"
Frequently your speakers will disappear when you leave your doors unlocked.Now that I got that out of my system, I have a very asymmetrical room and the width of my soundstage was very variable with different recordings. My system performed well w... 
Most achingly-beautiful music
Gotta get me some more Gillian Welch!Here's another, as cosmic as lyrics come. I saw her do it live when she opened for Neil Young on his Greendale tour. What a show!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CywArYObn2UEmmylou Harris  - The PearlThis may no... 
speakers with balls
I have a pair of PSB Imagine XBs that really rock for bookshelfs. I imagine their towers would be a much bigger dose of the same.http://soundstagehifi.com/index.php/equipment-reviews/821-psb-imagine-x2t-loudspeakers 
DSD converted to PCM vs Original PCM
Wouldn't the better question be "how much better does DSD to analog sound than DSD to PCM to analog?"I went to a lot of trouble to make sure my disc player could do DSD to analog without PCM so I could get the best out of my SACDs. The ironoic thi... 
Have you ever hated the sound of your system one day, and loved it the next?
+1 iealesIt's even more annoying when each song on an album needs a different level.

What is the preferred cartrige mm or mc and why
As usual, @lewm , you make a good point. The cost of a ATN150MLX or Goldring D42 are not much less than Peter's services. But the Garrott Brothers P77i is only $270.All-in-all the F-9 may be the better deal.
