Do you have a secret "guilty pleasure" recording?
I used to go to Goodwill and find stacks of records that looked unplayed, and buy them all, regardless of the artist, because they were only 99 cents each. Never listened to many of them. I have Adam Ant, Culture Club, and others that friends and ... 
Driven to Tears
I can listen intently to Bonnie Raitt, "Not the Only One", at a moderate volume level on my current solid state system, and be driven to tears. It wouldn't happen on my old Marantz/Advent system because the sound quality just isn't there. But, the... 
Jake Langley, "Diggin' In"
Eldulcesol, thanks for the tip. I have a couple of Thom Rotella's smooth jazz cd's, and wil check out both you mentioned. 
It's Hammond B3 Organ Day
Jake Langley, "Diggin' In" has Joey Defrancesco on Hammond B3. Worth a listen. 
Most pleasing sound vs most hifi sound

LP Sound Quality

Should I get advents?
Get 'em! I found a pair for $10 at an estate sale. If they need to be re-foamed, it's easy to do yourself! Mine just sit unused at this time, but they are well worth the money! 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?

Is this when you have "arrived??"
Gumbydammit, which Benz MC are you using? I have the Grado Ref. Sonata and was thinking of a posible change to MC. BTW, being brought to tears while listening to any music should not be considered embarassing. It happens to me every now and again,...
