A Very Strange Cover Song
Money was actually a song from Talma ( Motown) written by Berry Gordy and Janie Bradford recorded by Barrett Strong that the Beatles, Kingsmen and many othet covered. 
What is the first album you purchased, and do you still have it?
Meet the Beatles, what a way to start. I still have it and play it still brings out the goosebumps. 
Drink of choice for serious listening?
A nice cappuccino from my  Lapavoni espresso machine made with my home roasted coffee. 
Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open.
What is the difference between high current and high watt per channel amps. Some amps seem to advertise high watt output but don't have much current it gets confusing.

Agree with Inna read some of Nelson Pass papers and save your money. 
Replacing The Factory Jumpers On Magnepans - Does It Improve The Sound?
You can try solid copper available at hardware stores or a piece of speaker cable and see what you think. To be honest I didn't notice a difference but like Elizabeth pointed out resistors will give you different sound. 
Hendrix 50th Anniversary Electric Ladyland Box Release
Is this any better sounding than the last remastered version? 
White Album Deluxe Anniversary edition
Has anyone compared the sound and mix to the original or past remasters. Is it like Pepper worth the price of buying again? 
White Album Deluxe Anniversary edition
If it's defective you should return it, you paid a good price for a perfect product. 
Cover songs that are better than the originals.
Mamas and Papas cover of the Beatles I Call Your Name amazing arrangement. 
Suggestions on speakers
One on my friends has the Philharmonic 3 speakers paired with AVA electronics they are truly outstanding in all aspecs. If you contact Dennis he maybe able to find someone near you with a pair to audition. 
Best place to sell high end audio equipment?
Audio circle is also a good site. If equipment is priced fairly it should sell. 
If still at entry level turntable would a new amp make much difference?
 How much did you want to spend on upgrading.What speakers are you driving also tt and cartridge. Do you see other upgrades in the future. If you spin mostly vinyl you mabe better served upgrading your cartridge. 
Tony Joe White RIP
Check Tony Joe White 20 song anthology it doesn't get much better than that. Great style, singing and guitar work. 
Thoughts on Big Star
Great group with great songs. You may also want to check Alex's prior group the Box Tops. I also thought that Bad Finger had a somewhat similar sound.
