Drink of choice for serious listening?
Whistle Pig isn't bourbon it's rye whiskey.  
Is There a fix for CD Pin-holes (CD Rot)
Since you have a lot of stuff from other countries you will need to make sure the program isn't inhibited by Digital Rights Management restrictions. Might not matter but something to be aware of.  
Is There a fix for CD Pin-holes (CD Rot)
I am not very familiar with Mac but what it seems what you want to do is Clone the CD , not sure if there is any software for Mac that can do it. Using CloneCD is very easy, insert CD to be cloned it makes an image of the CD then insert blank CD a...

 CloneCD it makes exact 1:1 copies but you will need to find a windows computer. I used it years ago then it was pulled because of EU copyright but it can be bought again.  It has a free trial period.

Another chain, Cox's smoke shop does a better raffle for $10 you get a chance to win all 6 bottles. The proceeds go to charity. I think one of the reasons some of these bourbons are expensive , for instance the 23 year Pappy, is after 23 years the...

Dasani sparkling water. Have you ever had Pappy Van Winkle? They raffle off a chance to buy a bottle at 47 Kroger Wine and Spirits. You don't know which year you get to buy until the day of the raffle, the 10,12,15,20 or 23 year bourbon or 13 year... 
What is the first album you purchased, and do you still have it?
Good lord, probably either The Monkees or Meet The Beatles. No I don't still own them they were barely playable within a few years after I got them.

McIntosh MC-2125

Ownership and Review of a pair of Ohm Super Sound Cylinder
@bondman - I am hopeful I will be as happy as  everyone on the Ohm threads are with their speakers. From my interaction with the company it looks like I need to break-in as much if not more than the speakers,  since I am used to nothing but box ty... 
Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open.
Sorry I deleted my question. I thought it might be to much of a novice question. I knew 6 Ohms would be harder than 8Ohms but easier than 4 Ohm which is why I thought a 6 Ohm speaker might be hard on the amp connected to the 8 Ohm tap and might bl... 
Ownership and Review of a pair of Ohm Super Sound Cylinder
Wonerful post mamboni, I hope the 2000’s I ordered give me half the pleasure your 5000’s have given you. May I ask are you still using Rotel for amps? I was a bit surprised when I asked Evan what amps they voiced the speakers with, he didn’t exact... 
Greatest debut album
Please Please Me - The Beatles, Basically recorded in 1 day 
What are fuses used for?
If you have the manuals for your equipment it shows you where to replace a fuse. If you don't have the manuals you can probably download them from the manufacturer.  
Thinking about a new, lower end CD Player
The only CD players I know in that price range with balanced are professional players like tascam or denon that also record . I believe Emotiva? might make one around $600 with balanced. Is there a reason you need balanced?
