Leon Russell - Beware of Darkness    
D'Agostino Progression Integrated Amp
Wonder how it compares to the new Boulder int?  
Western Electric surveying market for (domestic?) mfg. of other tube types?
I put this bug in their ear a few years ago. Asked why they wouldn't produce other kinds of tubes. Hope they listened. I'd like to see them make a Russian military-grade 6H30-DR tube.   
What's Your Favorite Vinyl That Never Made It To CD or Digital?
Tufano & Giammarese        
Lloyd Walker has passed away.

Western Electric 300B tubes (and amps, $15k) made in Georgia, U.S.A..  
Am I nuts?
If you are paying $10 for the player, you’re not nuts. If you are paying $1000, you are nuts. BTW, try to find a Laser replacement on ebay.  
Which amp for B&W 805 D3 and HTM2 D3 speakers - Rotel RMB-1555?
I’ve owned an Onkyo HT receiver since 2008. It is great and still going strong. I understand Onkyo (and other players) were getting bum HDMI boards from the same factory resulting in the black mark on quality. Also heard this problem was resolved.  
Which amp for B&W 805 D3 and HTM2 D3 speakers - Rotel RMB-1555?
If I were doing it, I’d look at: Classe (used), Bryston (21B) or Maybe even 2 Pass Labs XA30s (Bi amp the center channel).
