Frogman.. yes. Thanks for asking. I just ordered his 'Brasil Project' disc from Amazon because I'm loving the 'Aquarela Do Brasil' so much. Toot's and Elis Regina were an amazing match up. 
Miles Davis LIVE in Europe 1967: The Bootleg Serie
Thanks everyone. No, I'm not the guy that only plays the best recordings. I'm just a listener and enjoyer. I listen to all my music from beginning till end and I don't dwell on the recording itself, but instead on the content.

Orpheus10. This is some great information. Thank you. I'm really loving this music, and stumbled upon it because I'm a huge Ellis Regina fan (Brazil). You would really like 'Aquarela Do Brasil'. 
Speaker Stand Design?
I would use low mass on carpeting and high mass on wood. That works for me with C7's. I now use Skylan's filled with kitty litter on hardwood floors and it blows away low mass. I can't get a glass of water to ripple sitting on the floor. Hope this... 
How old is too old?
I've never noticed a difference in the sound of marginal to good speaker cables but I don't doubt they do make a difference. I still spend a pretty good buck on them and I'm about to pick up some new ones on Saturday. I hope that for once I am one... 
Live Performances Gone Awry
David. I love Sinead.Very talented performer and I own a lot of her music. Have you seen pictures of her lately? It looks like she discovered the McDonald's Quarter Pounder with Cheese. I'm not sure if the new body style has had any effect on her ...

Frogman, your link takes me to Alice Cooper. Could this be because of Halloween? 
I need advice on a good value for speakers
Independant dealers are going the way of the dinosaur because people forgot about customer service. It's still around and your local dealer is waiting for you. I used to buy from the web but found that building a relationship with my local dealer ... 
Music Server VS Laptop
www.exactaudiocopy.de. I find it to me amazingly simple to use. 
Music Server VS Laptop
Thanks Mapman. That's good news. I'm using Exact Audio Copy to rip CD's to my network drive. It seems to work very well. 
Music Server VS Laptop
Thanks for the great answers. I've been using flac format. Not sure if that's what I should be using but it seems to be working fine.

Thanks for the responses. I agree with everything you have all posted. Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only one into this stuff. I listen to a wide range of music. To give you an example, I was listening to 24 bit 9 Inch Nails today, and am now list... 
Audiolab 8200CDQ
Audiojedi. Do you keep the volume on the 8200 all the way up and control the volume through your pre amp or integrated?I've been experimenting with the USB today. I put some 24 bit music that my son has (Michael Jackson Thriller....no laughing) on... 
Speaker cable vibration?
Spades are a better connection. 
Any advantages to bi-wiring speakers vs. single
I would ask your dealer if you could borrow both to determine whether or not you want to biwire. I've never heard a difference. My ears are probably hosed.I've found that single wire is normally a larger gauge and sounds better than the equivalent...
