DVD-A/SACD two box solution what do you think?
Hey Kana can you roll me a mod ? 
Walker Audio- High Definition Links- anyone
Yes I would give a thumbs up as well. After a while you wont believe they are doing anything. Then you will take them off , listen to a few tunes , and put them right back on. 
Do You Remember Your First Music Purchase?
Stevie Wonder 45 For once in my Life, also a 45 Green Tambourine. I forget the artist Also about that time I remember getting a cardboard 45 of the song My Girl which I think was the 4 tops. First album I think was Bealtles 65.

What is your favorite low-tech tweek?
Mhu does ask a good question . As Uncle Jeff states , for a couple of bucks , you cannot argue with the costs. But for me it was the power cords away from the interconnects and I forgot to mention Power cords away from the Speaker cables as well. ...
