Best Box Sets?
It does depends on your taste. I enjoy Johnny Cash "Unearth", Ameican Roots Music from the PBS series, The Bands "The Last Waltz". But thats my taste, I enjoy Americana style music. 
Loose volume knob on Forte 44 preamp-can I fix?
There should be a small allen screw on the bottom side of the knob you can tighten. The same thing happened to my Forte 44 and that fixed the problem

Bruce worked at Sound World for about one year. He brought Conrad Johnson, Classe, Talon, Audio Physic, Proac, Acoustic Zen, and some other brand into Sound World. I use to meet him and other Sound World employees out for a beer about once a month...

Depends on what you want to spend. You can find Sennheiser HD600,s for as low as $299.00. I just purchased Sennheiser HD580's for $169.00 from Music Direct. They sound almost as nice as HD600,s. Web address, amusicdirect.com
