Looking for compilation suggestions
and this "Dylan Country" and an entire series called "This Ain't no Tribute Series"featuring songs of Janis Joplin, Zeppelin, Clapton, Stones.Never heard of the series before so maybe it isn't all that well done. Anyone familiar with the work?

Blockbuster goes Blu-ray, HD DVD=beta?,
Jaybo, The question is who is "they". Walmart is unlikely to make an arbitrary decision. Either Walmart will receive an offer they can't refuse or the customers will vote with their wallets. If sales are uneven enough Walmart may drop one format. ... 
Blockbuster goes Blu-ray, HD DVD=beta?,
Unsound, I see Walmart as a follower, not a leader. It may jump on a hi-def bandwagon (Blue-Ray or HD DVD)but only after the winner has been decided. Walmart does not make markets (= take risk) for products. It invests in inventory and shelf space... 
Blockbuster goes Blu-ray, HD DVD=beta?,
Jaybo, I do not think that Walmart's primary customer base is into cutting edge tech video and audio. I somehow do not see Walmart being a big player in the format wars. I am sure they would still be selling 8-tracks if they could find a source.I ... 
Maple platforms
Piedpiper, I like everything better about the Osmo hardwax oil.Most important is the finish. It has a nice luster and brings out the grain but does not build up and look plasticy(?) like varnish. Very durable since it is used extensively on floors...

The one CD I can't find is Katie Melua "Piece by Piece". I bought it and loaded it into my music server. Then, because all of my storage racks are full, I put it some place safe until I added more storage. I forgot where.That was months ago. I hav... 
MIT MI-330: How to tell for which impedance it is?
The 330s I had were cleary labeled (high, medium, or low) on one side of the "magic box". The other side just said MIT cable or something generic. 
Accuphase DG38 vs. Tact vs Lyngdorf
pvanmil, I am totally confused by your statement "Tact wants a flat response at the listening position". Of all the TacT supplied target curves, none of them are flat. In addition, the user can create their own target curves. There is virtually un... 
isolation
I have heard isolation make "changes" in performance on transports, preamplifiers, and power conditioners. Don't ask me to explain it. I have not tried isolation on amplifiers yet.Unfortunately most of the non-platform isolation devices I tried hu... 
Aragon 4004 - Load Capacity Question
I used the 4004MKII for many years on 3ohm Apogee Stage panels. The Aragon worked fine. The midrange/tweeter ribbon was always rock steady with the Aragon. Lesser amps clipped and made the ribbon dance.
