Eric Clapton Clapton
I hold a soft spot for most of the cuts off 461 Ocean Blvd. Suppose living in Miami at the time of the albums release plays a part, but so does understanding the struggles of kicking skag. You can a hear a calm that permeates 461 even when it rock... 
Did you hear that ALBUM?
Thank everyone for straightening me out. I will continue to say ALBUM without a trace of guilt.- still praying those fifty missing Louis Armstrong coronet solos turn-up before I croak. 
Best CD Player HDCD under $1000US
Rotel RCD-1072. Under $500 for one like new. Solid. Exemplary build quality. Reliable. Sound wise on par with units several times the cost. I've owned NAD, Music Hall, Sony ES, Rega, Oppo. I put the Rotel above them all on cost/performance/reliabi... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Make that Levi, not Levy. Duh. Even spelled like the famous SF denim and I botched it (and I've even been to Levi central (near Fog City Diner).

Trade- off, power SS vs tube magic.
Higher power, lower power top consideration is the speakers you're driving. Plenty of posts from people talking about the synergy of X speakers with Y amp. You know that. I hear some say this or that SS amp sounds like a tube amp, but it's the old... 
How do you guys choose between CD releases?
I reviewed your comments Oakleys. Can I blame the serotonin re-uptake and/or the chemo meds? Oncologists/Pharmacologists on forum fire away. 
How do you guys choose between CD releases?
Oy, I must learn to use preview before hitting post. Gleam should read glean, and parch? Perhaps my old brain is such. Pardon music lovers. 
How do you guys choose between CD releases?
Definitely delve further into reviews than the consensus of music reviewers on Amazon. Preferring mostly classical, Jazz, and the ECM catalog it is somewhat easier to gleam useful feedback about this or that recording because very useful websites,... 
How do you guys choose between CD releases?
I have many K2HD CD's, SACD's, and regular old RBCD's that will knock the socks off. The superiority of vinyl? Had a HUGE record collection and just like with the CD disc format - some were great, some less so. Many variables on what makes a fine ... 
I'll play it & tell you what it is later
Grimace:"Are you sure you're looking at an RVG mixed Birth of the Cool?"I see you have more than a few posts on RVG, thus I ascertain you have an interest in the subject.I read this on my Birth of the Cool (Capital Jazz Records RVG Edition) liner ...

Music vs. Components
Sgunther:"Both. I usually start out listening to the system then unconsciously begin listening to the music then fall asleep"Smart reply, humorous and honest. 
Mott The Hoople
..Paradiso too. Remember Gong? Euro youth loved to trip to their music. These days the collection is a sea of Jazz and classical with a new wave and a dozen way-back-when recordings. Some call it maturing, I call it the wrinkling age. 
Mott The Hoople
Margo's version closer to Reed's than Hunters. Originally lyrics started "Jack is in his vest, Jane is in her corset.." but it changed to "Jack is in his corset, Jane is in her vest.." to reflect the wild side of rock n roll. Mott's "All the Young...
