Wassup fellas!  Been awhile.  Don't come around A'gon much anymore but it's cool to see you guys are still going strong!  Very quickly re: the comment of Chris Potter being in the Brecker/Berg/Mintzer school of sax players.  It sounded dismissive ...

South Florida - join in and make a REAL effort!
I'll bite.  I'm in Wellington (WPB).  I'm curious, Tomaras....eres Latino?  I've always considered the LACK of activity amongst the Latino audiophile community a curiosity.  Never a peep from them anywhere, especially regarding the music!  For lit... 
Lifters ForGetting Cables Off The Floor, Worth It Or Snake Oil
So....I have 10' long cable going from my amp to my spkrs.  Back in the day, due to logistics, my rack was closer to my left spkr than my right resulting in the cable to the right not touching the floor while the left needed to be coiled, obviousl... 
unmarked HDCD's
I realize there isn't much interest around here in Latin Jazz (my favorite music!;) But Cuban sax virtuoso Paquito D'Rivera embraced HDCD and released over 1/2 dz.  Also, West coast bandleader and master percussionist John Santos & his Machete... 
Dog Proof Speaker Stands For Harbeth SHL5Plus Speakers
Another vote for Sound Anchors!  I've had mine coupled to my Spendor S100's for 27 yrs!  I've owned a few dogs during this time, the worst thing that's ever happened was I caught my ex-wife's toy Pomeranian peeing on the base of the stand once (he... 
Dearly departed Music Reference RM9
I'm also an owner or an RM9.  I'm curious, when you say it's 'beyond repair', what happened!?  Depending on the extant of the necessary repairs, my 1st step if my RM9 were to fail would be to call Roger Modjeski at Ram Labs to find out about getti... 
Harbeth Love and your experiences
@ jjss49 - I own a pair of Spendor S100"s.  I've always felt the Harbeth/Spendor story to be unique because they've historically made a few speakers that seem to be "siblings".  I've always imagined the Harbeth 40 series to be a kind of Spendor SP...

What do you think of soundbars compared to speakers?
Zvox 555 - one of the best kept secrets in the soundbar business!!!  A flat rectanglar box, my 50" plasma sits on top of mine.  Pulled it out of the box and was listening to it in less than 10 minutes.  Plugs into the wall with one cable to the TV...

Ry Cooder recommendation...
Re: David Lindley & Rayo-X.  I own 3 studio LP's by them but they also recorded a killa live album!  I'd say it's one of the great  'unknown' live records.  Absolutely worth looking for!   
Ry Cooder recommendation...
I have most of his records and am a big fan.  The most unusual soundtrack he participated in would have to be 'Crossroads' where he 'duels' with a young Steve Vai!  A good record that should've been great IMO is by the band Little Village, an unkn...

Jon Herrington, check, CTI, check!  CTI tried to make a comeback in the early 90's releasing an interesting group of recordings.  Unfortunately, the effort failed fairly quickly.  One of the 1st was Chroma - Music On The Edge - taken from a live 1... 
Jazz for aficionados
...since yr talkin' 'Soul Jazz'.  Came across an interesting recording last week.  Leo Gandelman is a Brazilian Jazz Sax virtuoso who I'm a huge fan of.  I searched iTunes to see if he had anything in the pipeline and up popped this recording whic...
