Moon vs Electrocompaniet
Sam: What benefits does the BC 1.1 offer over the 1.0 and does Bel Canto still offer the upgrade? This might be another option for 84Audio. I, as you know use the BC Dac 1, but have not looked into the upgrade as of yet. 
Musicality" in a system? What IS that ?
I agree with Jayboard whole heartedly in that I use the words "musical" and "musicality" when I am too lazy to come up with better descriptive terms. I still intend on using them though, in a pinch, and can only add that sometimes "musical" to me ... 
Why pay "more" for USED??
Their was a seller with (zero) and sunglass's on Ebay, just a few weeks ago that was listing the $850.00 (retail) Gallo two speaker, passive sub and two speaker stands setup for $1500.00. This week it's back again, on sale for less, (what an A-hole). 
Room too small - any suggestions
Pops: Pick up the pair of Rogers Ls3/5a's at this site (under $800.00) and have some fun until you get your main listening room back. A shoebox speaker for a shoebox room.

Cable / Upgrade Recommendation
Yes, I also used the Truthlinks on my SS setup. They were full and smooth but detailed as well. 
Before They Were Famous
Here are a few and though some are a stretch they are true stories. Led Zep and Steppenwolf in parking lot concerts in or around Pompano Beach, FL maybe in 1968 or 1969 (not certain of the year and it could have been well before then, but LZ only ... 
Cable / Upgrade Recommendation
An inexpensive and effective but very neutral power conditioner, IMO, is the Monster HTS-2000 which is avalable for $125.00 (discounted) online from Globalmart.com. It helped considerably with our apartment incarcerated system in LA. I am now expe... 
Music trivia anyone?
David: Chilling answer, not even close. As best as I can recall the album may have been released in around 1972-73 and cannot be traced (legaly anyway) to GH. 
Music trivia anyone?
Here's one that I think that I may have mentioned on a past thread. What album did George Harrison produce and play guitar on for which there was no official (and legal) credit(s) given? I suspect that he wrote all of the material as well.

Todays find is: "Sisters of Freedom", Harlem Spiritual Ensemble, recorded at North Presbyterian Church, Harlem, NY. The recording level is a tad low (similar to some of my MFSL discs) but it is a very nice recording and the performances are super....

"Layla" sound like a Princeton Reverb to me. 
Old Philips CD as transport or new playe
Prfont: Of course I did, are you kidding? When I get any piece of gear in my home (especially one that does not cost me anything) I audition it up one leg and then down the other. I preferred the sound of the Icon II to that of the 506.24 in my sy...
