Dodson MkII D....Can't be THAT good....right ?
I had the same transport and had both the Dodson 217 mk2 and later the Audio Logic 2400. I found the Audio Logic was a MUCH better fit. More tubelike with less digital edge. Another big plus was being able to tube roll the Audio Logic. 
Looking for an acoustic guitar recording..
Lawrence Juber, The Collection. You will love this cd. It is recorded very nice and the music is great. 
best non guitar rock solo
Good call Dan, That is going way back. Ian Anderson ( Jethro Tull ) played some great rock flute. Whoever thought those 2 words, rock and flute would go together? 
calling all vandy 5a owners
Yes, the 200 hour mark was about where my speakers started comming around. Then I tuned the bass and found most of the gains were actually in the mids. I think your dealer will be able extract the most out of these speakers. When they get fully br...

Best Live Albums?
I almost forgot, Art Pepper "Landscape" . It's a xrcd 24, and, although not as good as some xrcd 24's , it is much better than redbook. It was recorded in 1979 with a great band and Art has never been better. 
Best Live Albums?
pretenders live is excellent

It was 83 degrees on the beach at noon today in Santa Cruz, not a cloud in the sky. I promise you will get used to it. Good luck in the move.

I had the same worries,my room is only 13w x 21 x 12 h, but my new Vandy 5 a's are great in a difficult room. The bass integration adjustments make the room a lot less of a factor. Go for it!! 
Best digital cable below $500
The best Iv'e ever heard is the new zanden cable,but,maybe the best 500 dollar cable is the stealth varidig. 
Axis: Bold as Love gripe
I heard it the other day at a friends house and thought it magnificent! Very little grunge in the mono version, much more body in hendrix's voice. Of special interest, the original was mixed in 1 day,so the chance to make some subtle (and not so s... 
Tinnitus - do you have ringing in the ears?
I'm sure that most audiogoner's already know this,but any non-steroidal anti inflammatory(aspirin,ibuprofen ,etc) can bring on tinnitus. Just a thought. 
What is the best transport for Audio Logic DAC?
i think the forsell is the best, with the levinson 37 as my second choice , and the cec tl-1 for a more relaxed (tube) sound.
