Best sounding cd in your collection
Not into vocals much,but yeah,Allison Krauss Live album is excellent.Then soundstaging/imaging,it's a tossup between Ray Brown Live at Scullers and probably David Hazeltine Classic Trio.For bass,that's more dificult, but the title cut on the Junio... 
What music do you want to play really loud?
Gene Harris,on the 'Black and Blue' album,1.Another Star,3.C.C. Rider, and 8.Blue Bossa. 
Vince Guaraldi recommendations
'Latin Side of Vince Guaraldi' is one you should give a listen to. 
Jazz Recommendations
Ray,I got the 'Jazz Cello' cd,after your mention of it.It has become a favorite.What is best about it imho is the accompaniment to Ray's playing is some really first class small ensemble 'jazz' and the choice of the material is excellent.Thanks. 
Your ONE all time favorite love song?
Upon further reflection,(and a recent listening again after a long spell without hearing them)I would have to declare a 3 way tie,imho.The other 2 would be Forever Autumn, and Bless the Wings,both Moody Blues pieces. 
To cryo or not to cryo
I am not a smart man,so just call me Forrest Forrest Gump if you wish,however,and this may have been discussed already and I apologize if it has,even if said properties of 'cryoed' materials was really the best thing possible for audio 'sound',how... 
To cryo or not to cryo

To cryo or not to cryo
Gee, thanks Rrcpa.I read your piece,then put my amp in the oven to realign the molecules with heat just as you said.Guess what? yeah it realigned not just the molecules,but insulation and every d--- thing else.I 'gotta' quit reading these things! 
musical drummers...who are they ???
Having played drums in my youth,started in junior high band,I practically worshipped Buddy Rich.There are/were a lot of good ones,but I cannot think of one I have heard that is better than he was.Yes Ginger Baker was good,but he was no Buddy Rich. 
Who is your overall favorite guitarist?
Jsujo,If you can honestly dismiss Carlos Santana from this list of opinions of who is a great guitarist,I can honestly dismiss your understanding of what the qualities of a great guitarist are at the outset. 
What are we listening to tonight?
Gene Harris,'Black and Blue',George Cables Trio,'Letter to Dexter',Ray Brown,'Live at Scullers',Oscar Peterson,'Jazz Soul of Oscar Peterson', and for the wife,(sigh)Nat King Cole.
