| Best drink while listening to your rig? Wow...10th anniversary of this thread! I was listening to some Christine Tobin the other day, which inspired me to make a beeline to the Lagavulin 16 yr old. Something about jazz and Scotch... | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... Not to highjack this thread, but I have long been interested in Michael Jackson's (no not THAT Michael Jackson!) books on whisky. The most recent edition was compiled posthumously, as MJ died a few years ago. I was wondering what the community's a... | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? Pjudice: to get more specific yet, my preferences can depend on the type of music:Some older jazz (Hank Mobley, Sonny Stitt) - ScotchCrisp/clean jazz vocals (e.g., Tierney Sutton) - chardonnaySmoky jazz vocals - ScotchChamber music - red or white ... | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... Learsfool: i much prefer Lagavulin to Laphroig. The former is more complex and nuanced IMHO. Laphroig was the first Islay malt I had, decades ago, so it has some sentimental value to me! However, I don't buy it much anymore. I remember a liquor st... | |
| How international is your system? Inna, Garrard is a long-established British company. It's been around in one form or another for well over 200 years. Here's a website with an interesting timeline/history of the company: http://www.garrard501.com/history.html | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... Balvenie Double Wood has been available at my local Costco for a tad over $30. That's a no-brainer and is now my "house" malt. | |

| How international is your system? With the Euro crashing, things might change. I might do some shopping when I'm over there in a couple of weeks. | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... Thanks, Irish65. I look forward to trying Black Bush. | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... That's what I figuring, Emorrisiv. My go-to Scotch are Lagavullin and Talisker. | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? OK, I guess that was a bit of a tease! Got a used 2007 Benz with 23,000 miles. The dealership had it priced at $35,000. With all the options, it sold new for $66,000. I guess given the economy, the car had been sitting at the dealership for 60 day... | |
