Jax2I think I mentioned Cecilia Bartoli. 
What is with B&W these days? soundbars, ipod doc..
What about Linn? back in the day they had a turntable, and 2 pairs of speakers. Now they sell virtually everything hi-fi.Progessive thinking by Ivor MBE.

Nothing wrong with Bonnie Tyler! 
"Already Free" - Derek Trucks Band
Can't beat a bit of Derek Trucks. Like 'Songlines', Its a must have in the/any collection. 
If you lost your stereo system would you still ???
Please please do not mention the 'accuracy', you may get MrT adding his pure unadulterated wrist slitting induced, mind numbing drivel to this thread, all in a philosophical way though.I love the music on whatever I am listening on at the time, ca... 
Is music quality moving away from the "audiophile"
How can a 'high end hi-fi' be classified as 'high end' if the music does not sound good?

Chadnliz, I agree with you, but I do not want the trumpets and a big fanfare when a pair of speakers sounds amazing at $45,000,$100,000 or even $300,000. I want all the hooplah to happen when a pair of speakers sounds amazing for 3k and is the toa...

CES update 2009
Stanwal, you got some great gear in your set up, obviously you do like the British sound.I must say that I beg to differ from some of what you say. If what you are saying is correct then why do not the speaker manufacturers put on the spec sheet, ...

Chadnliz, I have noticed your last few threads on Audiogon that have been said quite vitriolic and venomous, as if one had a trailer and the roof had gotten a nasty leak, ( I am not implying that you live in a trailer btw).May I suggest some chill... 
"Pictures at an Exhibition"
Rebbi,Apologies, I made a mistake, I loaded my multi player with all three cd's, I got them in the order wrong from what I thought I was listening to, the Bernstein is sonically good, but the Maazel/Cleveland on Telarc is sonically superior to my ...
