Naim CDS3 won't play 3" mini CDs. Any advice
many rare promo only discs still get made and they're highly collectible......sometimes the hardware manufacturers are ironically out of touch with the music business. i'm sure they will have a b.s. excuse 
Best Monitors for Rock N' Roll under $2500
it just occured to me that speakers shound have numbers and not names. rock and roll music isn't supposed to be played through a product with an odd name. it should be something like xr5's, non euroscouts 
Thoughts on the Jeff Rowland Concerto integrated?
the stuff you've got is superior to the stuff you want. if this is a 'space' thing, keep looking 
Differences in newer Meadowlark speakers
get those dunlavys back. 
JBL Ti 10 K
on the contrary,the TiK series from jbl is a benchmark of design and the sound is extraordinary. like any well designed speaker system it does not favor one type of music over another. a classic 
Vandersteen's Low Spousal Acceptance Factor
say goodbye to those low notes 
Best Monitors for Rock N' Roll under $2500
i would recommend a quality floorstander. lots of cool brands in this pricerange that are very balanced from top to bottom. even the finest monitor(other than a larger vintage model) just doesn't nail rock and roll. 
Tannoy-JBL question..
the L112's would be the way to go if they are in nice condition. the tannoys are not as friendly with pop and rock music. 
What Guitarists Remind You Of SRV Or Hendrix?
richard lloyd (all)......larry coryell(the pre eleventh house stuff on vanguard) the real great escape is the most overlooked guitar record of the '70's..... 
Harbeths and Tube Amps
stick with ss for the harbeths. all bbc monitors and offshoots are perfectly matched for ss. just ask someone at the bbc 
Best matching amp for Wilson W/P6, any sudgestions
anything in piano laquered black. 
does more power=better quality ?
i guess all those brilliant audio guys who strolled out of m.i.t. and changed the way the world listened to all prerecorded music must have actually been minions of satan. burn all the books and smash all amplification rated over 3 watts. all loud... 
Just a power amp, turntable and speakers?
get a vintage marantz integrated amp....plug your table in.....you are home free. 
Your opinion on the evolution of amps since 70s?
i have no problem with any specialty company making a healthy profit, or appealing to audiophiles who love the look and the touch as much as the sound. i've had a room full of audio toys since high school ('71) and have been in the music and movie... 
You might be an audiophile if...
you have plastic surgery to look more like michael green or mathew polk......or you've trained your dalmation to do that 'his master's voice' thing
