Do any of your Rolling Stones recordings bring "Satisfaction"?
I have not contributed to any of the “What’s playing on your rig tonight” threads, but I will be playing the Stones all day Friday.  Mick’s surgery day I believe.Decca reissue monos through a Bob’s Device sutStoned.

Top Ten "Reasons I Don't Like This Component"
ViridianNot wanting to argue about the Naim speaker plugss but I have seen arrangements like this and they are correct and do not cross if the unit is placed beteeen the speakers.  The left side on the back corresponds to the right side looking at...
