Stick a fork in Dylan, he's done.
Blood on the Tracks and I thought Modern Times was amazing. 
Who is Harry Nillson
You're welcome. It sounds like it brought out the same emotions for you that it did for me and many others. Winoguy, yes your wife is very thoughtful and that's a great idea. I might do the same thing with some music. 
New Artist - amazing music
I revisit music I previously didn't like and there's been a few times when I've been surprised that I didn't like it previously. There was also a time when it opened up the door to a couple of hundred samba, bossa nova and tropicalia artists. It's... 
Best and Worst names in Audio
A name that would be catchy if we had never heard it would be Realistic. Unfortunately it now reminds me of waiting in line for free batteries. 
New Artist - amazing music
It's interesting to say the least. It reminds me of visiting the aquarium at Monterey Bay in California. It would make nice back ground music at the jellyfish display. I'm not poking fun at you or this music. It sounds more like a sound track to m... 
R. Majewski sent me his latest album. Sublime.
So are you going to send us all a copy for the holidays? My interest has peaked now. I recall your original post. A trip to Poland was not in my future travel plans. Is it possible this guy plays any jazz festivals in Europe? 
Jagger gets a real job, finally.
I blame it all on Ed Sullivan and a good education. 
What is the best....?
Penelope Cruz (I'd like to think). 
Rogue 88, Marsh A400S, or Audio Research VS110?
Might not trust it but he's entitled to it.

Lunker. I had that problem with a Pangea power cord and it ended up being the cord itself. I switched to a Audioquest and all is well. Also the stock cord worked fine for me. 
Changing the listener's ear position
I think the only thing that can make your ear lobes larger is to smash them with a hammer or the aging process (your ears get bigger with age). Obviuosly if you bend the helix forward it's going to catch more of the sound in the antihelix and dire... 
Mc Intosh vs other brands
I've been reading lately that some of their newer designs are a departure from the past and are not slow and muddy. It may just be the particular amp he tried was one of the older designs. I think it would be foolish for McIntosh to completely dep... 
Ravi Shankar passes.
Thanks to all sharing information on various artists. Kijanki, it's funny you mention Ustad Ali Akbar Kahn. A few year ago my wife brought home volume 3 of the Ammp signature series. I was floored the first time we played it. I'm not kidding when ... 
Ravi Shankar passes.
Condolences to Anoushka Shankar as well (another great sitarist and another daughter of Ravi's). Ravi had some good genes. I don't own a lot of Ravi's music but what I do own I find to be amazing and makes for some great afternoon listening for me... 
Who is Harry Nillson
Swanny, I agree about the 'sad crazy party monster'. The movie was actually heart breaking to watch towards the end. After it ended I just sort of sat there speechless. I wonder what his career would have been like if the Beatles didn't say he was...
