Speaker Suggestions/Opinions
Dynaudio or the Martin Logan motion 40 or 60’s 
When and how much?
Great speakers.   Enjoy!Dynaudio is good stuff! 
Should I sell my Oppo 205?
Keep it!! Dvd, cd, etc.   use it. We have pioneer elite dv 48, & 58 I think, great units.the 58 hasn’t been used in years. And a old dv79.  Keep them.use when needed.    
Straight out of the box doesn't work.
Know the feeling!  Hope the manufacturer makes correct for you.   
If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see?
Woodstock 69’ not to be confused with the violent crappy music at the so called Woodstock in 93? 94 ? I forget. Ac/dc with Ron Scott (Bon) Every rock/prog/heavy metal/thrash metal concert held from 1978 - 1995. Minus that Woodstock garbage show. A... 
Tune of the Day
Thin lizzy - the pressure will blow 
Worst Concerts You Have Attended ??
Leon russell - just horrible, sound, songs, met allica - as always, out of sync, poor sound, many live shows since 1985, all have been pretty bad.on. Good note, the opening bands were better! 
Saved by a Bose Wave radio

CD player reliability.... good and bad.
Maybe a year ago or a little more, I popped for a McCormack UDP PLAYER.  INTErnals are of Pioneer.  I know, when I use remote to power on, the pioneer elite dv-48av turns on also. :( She is a long in the tooth player, she does sound pretty good, d... 
Magico Customer service
Always heard great words about this company, products. I do on the other hand judge a company by their treatment of customers.  Most companies do a 90 day or a 2-5 year warranty with fine print, under controlled use, not with damage to drivers or ... 
Who else is using old cables/interconnects, and is happy?
Yes.  Audioquest.  I think topaz and quartz? Rca cables.they still work great! Not the very best, but they have been with me for , must be 27 years ive owned them.  A great company, with one of audios perfect warranties.    
CD player reliability.... good and bad.
@jdmccall56. We have a pioneer elite dv-48av.used for a little while as CD player, didn’t think it sounded that good, seemed like it made the music have less bass, and just not a good sound.  Great for movies, I thought it didn’t play well with mu...
