The new re-mix of Sgt. Pepper's
It is available in a 2 CD set for <$20. The second CD is studio out-takes and worth listening to IMO.I bought the 2 LP set and it is one of the best pressings (quiet and dynamic) I own.Dave 
Tidal free trial subscription
^^Bingo! 
Jazz for aficionados
^^Hard for him to say listening in a truck. ;)I bought the 50th anniversary and own the last gen digital master and also original US pressing and I like the soundstage of the 50th the best (centered vocals vs extreme L/R panning). Ringo's drums (e... 
Dark Amplifier
Another vote for DR-9. 
901 series 2 speakers
You are not completely wrong, shubert. When hung from the ceiling and close to the ceiling, bars always had the eight drivers pointed to the front. 8>) 
901 series 2 speakers
No, just the opposite - 1 facing you and eight  toward the wall behind the speakers. Reflected sound...If buying, be wary of rotted surrounds. Bose used foam surrounds (at least in the Series III and up) and they rotted within just a few years, pr... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Great news Frank. Best wishes for a continued rapid and successful recovery.Dave 
Upgrade Thiel CS3.6 or McIntosh AMP
By all accounts (including my own experience) the DR-10 was the goat of the Dave Reich-designed Classe amps and the later CA series did not have the magic of the Reich designs (Reich left Classe after the DR series), thus my recommendation of spec... 
Upgrade Thiel CS3.6 or McIntosh AMP
Hi dnanstad,I have had Thiels (CS5i and 2 2) for 25 years and suggest a high-current SS amp of 100W or more that doubles down all the way to 2 ohms for your 3.6s (think old Classe DR-9, Fifteen, or Twenty Five or Krell FPB-300/600). Put the tubes ...

Congrats, nkonor, for discerning that the Emperor has no clothes. Happy Listening!Dave 
CLASSE - Great amps or highly flawed?
Hi Gilles,The guy I bought that amp from said that he had the Classe' refurb kit (bought directly from Classe' Audio) installed. Best I can tell from visually examining this amp vs the other two "originals", the refurb kit consists of new large po... 
Anyone else own EPI/Epicure "back in the day?"
Excellent speakers then and now. A few years ago, I bought a pair of EPI 100s, refurbished them with woofers from humanspeakers.com, and still enjoy listening to them from time to time driven by an Onkyo A-10 integrated. Neutral with good timbre a... 
Kenwood KR-9600
Glad you are happy with it,  Some things are right just the way they were made. ;>)Dave 
Shuguang Black Treasure CV181-Z
Another strong endorsement for the Black Treasure "Z" tubes. More musical, dimensional, and transparent than the Sylvania Chrome Domes and Sophia 6SN7's I used prior in my MW 5400ES.Dave
