1 million dollar speaker made by Kharma
Given the date that this thread was started, I imagine one could find a used pair for around $450K or so. A relative bargain, no? At least if you're in the same league as the Sultan - insult, or not. 
Best upgrade ever: cryo outlet for my refrigerator
Garfish, don't wait. Try the cryoed outlet. Just did so myself a few days ago. Wonderful results and we have somewhat similar systems, mine being perhaps a step or three down. You can exchange speakers with me and I'll call it even, though! :-) 
The Recording Producer
Seems as though the producer has influence over what gets laid down to a varying degree. One would hope that they have the ultimate listener in mind in their efforts, though clearly this is not always the case, whether it is by design or not.While... 
Best of the Best Ofs
Marakanetz, your point that many great artists eschew the opportunity to "Best Of" is a given. Not really sure it equates to "pop" (i.e. Etta) but some do clearly see it as a lessening of stature. On the other hand, some of the collections already... 
Fav Consecutive Albums by An Artist
Led Zep I-IV are a string hard to beat for rock-n-roll.Steely Dan's Can't buy a Thrill, Countdown to Ecstasy, Pretzel Logic, Katy Lied, The Royal Scam, Aja is a pretty impressive run, as well. 
Stylus cleaning: tools, fluids, techniques?
I find it a bit surprising that so many have still not heard of the Record Research "stuff". Maybe because I live very close to the source, the word got here sooner.I have found that the record cleaning solutions from RR are vastly superior to mos... 
L.A times 12-24-02 analogue is back
I really wish the Times and other publications would keep such revelations to themselves.... 
It must be love, she got me a ??? for Christmas
$500 gift certificate at my favorite used LP haunt, among other non-audio things. Didn't even know they sold 'em!Oh, the Jmcgrogan2 advise is sage.....drag it out... 
Burning coxial antenna cable on a cooker.
As long as someone is at it, why not obviate the inevitable later question and have one cooked and have the other cryoed and cooked? 
Miles Davis "Kind of Blue"
I don't think KOB is overhyped if considered in the context of when it was released and what it meant to the evolution of jazz. Nor do I think it is overrated - it is a great and, and in places, a very complex compilation.Yes, there are other jazz... 
Are they ever going to remaster the Beatles?
I heard a year or so ago that Paul had quietly bought back the rights to most of the Beatles songs from "the chiller" (as in the sensation which travels up my spine when I see this guy). Anyone out there who can confirm/deny this? 
Buried treasures you've forgotten?
For a more retro Fleetwood Mac experience, try the LP "Bare Trees". 
Albertporter only needs 50
I got my outlets today and, of course, could not wait a moment to get one going. I installed one in a non-dedicated circuit, though I do have an electrician friend scheduled to remedy THAT situation after the holidays. I plan to use this one from ... 
Three days until Christmas
Happy Holidays to all. Thanks to those who have contributed to my system in innumerable ways since I got back into higher-end audio earlier this year and bringing me up to date from the early-80's!!! 
Albertporter only needs 50
I am a few days away from introducing my Porter Ports. Would have interest in the experince of others with these, in addition to Maxgain (whose comments I have appreciated). Seems were quite a number of buyers but very much fewer reporting.
