Who Was Your Favorite One Hit Wonder
Wow! There are some great responses in this thread. My vote goes to the first music video played on MTV: "Video Killed the Radio Star" by the Buggles. 
So my wife says to me this morning
Good points all. Cableplex, I don't know about your wife, but 9 times out of 10 when I ask my wife for an assessment of a change to my system she says "You're the one with the golden ear, dear, it's all the same to me." (Golden ear? Hardly.) So wh... 
Song intros that really grab you? ?
"Sweet Child Of Mine" - Guns n' Roses"Limelight" - Rush"Children of Sanchez" (Long Version) - Chuck MangioneSecond the "Hotel California" recommendationI'm sure there are a ton more that I've heard that I just can't think of right now... :(

Why "Cryo" anything?
Did your car's engine sound better than before? (Just a joke to lighen up the thread.) :) 
RLD-1 Are you experienced?
Dueler,One other thought that isn't necessarily responsive to your question: talk to Steve McCormack via telephone and get his thoughts on upgrade paths if you go that route. Specifically, ask him whether he recommends upgrading one device at a ti... 
RLD-1 Are you experienced?
Dueler,Opinions on power cords vary. I have not heard a difference between the stock power cords and after-market power cords on any of my equipment (my RLD-1 is mated with a DNA-0.5 Rev. A for what it's worth.) Many people believe they hear a dif... 
RLD-1 Are you experienced?
You may be a man in the perfect situation. There has been a Platinum Revision RLD-1 listed on A'gon for two (maybe three) consecutive months. The seller was asking $2600 for it without phono board, $3000 with phono board. I recently initiated a th...
