| Happiness is... Happiness is listening quietly to a Jazz Quartet with my legs up, my eyes closed and a smile on my face. | |
| Does cover art of an album or recording influences your purchase? Whether it was Sticky Fingers or SPLHB, a lot of albums covers peaked my curiosity. Heavy Weather-Weather Report, Abraxas-Santana and Court Of The Crimson King-King Crimson are a few more. | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Been playing a lot of Beatles CD’s as of late. Yellow Submarine with all its Orchestra tracks has been a fun listen. | |

| Pulled the trigger on a Moon 861! Hope it pairs well on my Focals Mac does have a mellow sound, but there’s only so much they can overcome. A few years back, I listened to a lovely system that was all new Macintosh equipment and the newest B&W 80? Speakers. No matter where I sat, no matter how I readjusted t... |
