All things Bill Evans.
Thanks Orpheus. This is fun, and I hope to contribute more when I have time. I'll check out Affinity. I always stayed away, as I didn't think I'd like the jazz harmonica and electric piano. Bwos and others(Bwos, I'm sure you know this): "Everybody... 
Who is planning to buy the oppo-95 and...?
I don't understand the changing direction comment. Oppo continues improving their products, and one can still get "in" at $499. And look at one gets for that amount of money; to say nothing of the 30 day trial and the great customer service. I per... 
Best speaker in the US $ 30-45.000,00 range
I'd consider Rockport as well. 
Who is planning to buy the oppo-95 and...?
I've always thought of a bargain as something that has extraordinary performance for any particular price. I don't think any of us knows what the performance of the 95 will be yet. If it's significantly better than others in the $1000 price range,... 
Best Keith Jarrett records

Playing the wifes music choices
I apologize if you're referring to me in your 10/20 post, Chadnliz. I read through all the posts, and I see that you didn't call any one person a name. I guess I don't really understand your comment, though; I didn't see posts in which people were...
