Cryo is good for wine, too
I froze some leftover 2001 Seghesio Old Vine zinfandel last weekend while I was away in Florida. I came back on Monday, pulled out the bottle from the freezer, and let it thaw and warm up until Tuesday evening. I shook it up (just in case there wa... 
Best drink while listening to your rig?
Galeriehughie.... Yes, there are sauternes other than d'Yquem... Suiderat (sp?) for one. I have a few of those (mostly .350L) in the cellar. 2001 seems to be a sleeper vintage, doesn't it?! I've bought some futures, but not Mouton... some second g... 
Does your favorite band suck? Scientific proof
I'm working on an index that will show if indices such as yours suck :-))) Of course, "suck" is subjective, as are most of your variables.

Pordoi, Yes, I'm considering going from my SS Plinius to tubes. I think my speakers would mate well with tubes. The Cayin fellow is in the same town as me, so it would be easy to head over there and pick one up. What ss amp did you get rid of? 
Cayin T30
Thanks, Pordoi... I guess I'll either have to look for something else, or give up one of my sources! Reluctant to do the latter.

How many inputs does the Cayin have? I need at least 5 (CD, SACD, tuner, phono preamp, tape).

Galeriehughie..... yes, Riedels can do that, can't they?! I mean, "expose" a poor wine. I don't pretend that my Spiegelaus are as good, but they come close. It's amazing how much better a good wine is with the right glasses. After all, a lot of "t...

Galeriehughie--- wish I could afford those Riedel sommeliers! They are damn nice, but the Spiegelau are not too shabby, either.Theduke: hey, what's the name of those knock-offs? Not Spiegelau? Amazing what a fine combination of wine, glassware, an...
