Real Stinkers
Mdoughty,I kinda gave up on picking up any new Bela albums after Left of Cool so I've never heard Outbound. I know the band changed composition, but that didn't necessarily mean they had to change musical direction as well. Anyway I stand by Left ... 
New product arrival and set up procedure
Sean,Kudo's to you for an informative post that touches on a subject matter not often discussed, component temperatures. Bringing items to room temp is an excellent idea that most of us probably never consider. Thank you and Happy New Years! 
HELP Electrocompaniet stole Christmas
I absolutely agree with Tok2000, Electrocompanient does not deserve your business. Their actions stand in stark contrast to manufacturers who support their product no matter what, no questions asked (i.e. Bryston, Madrigal). A bad business move an...

Bela Fleck and the Flecktones "Left of Cool". Terrible lite jazz! 
Bought Wilco and Cowboy Junkies this weekend....
Also make sure you pick up Mermaid Avenue, the original not Vol. 2, which is Wilco and Billy Bragg doing songs put together from the lyrics of Woody Guthrie. A classic!

Finfinder,I think you mean JSAudio, they're on St. Elmo ST. in Bethesda.

How should I set up my system?
I'm afraid when Listener went under they took their decoder rings with them. 
could someone recommend some good acoustic music
Pick up some David Grisman from his label Acoustic Disc. Great music and outstanding recording quality. 
What Tube Amp Looks Coolest?
Graaf GM 200 OTL, bristling with cools and a Lamborghini paint finish! Definitely not affordable but ultra trick. 
Any thoughts on a Audiogon covention?
Tireguy, were you nominated for anything? I don't think they have a "best system" award! 
Three days until Christmas
Happy holidays to everybody in the Audiogon family, this is a great place to be, and here's to a great 2003!Gunbei, I'd sure like to get my hands on the Conoisseur Definitions 4.0 Phono and Linestage combo! 
$1,500 to spend on a tubed full function pre
If you can stretch, there's an Air Tight ATC 1 out here for 2K. I have one and it's a great sounding preamp with a MM phono stage using 3 12ax7's. 
Burnin CDs? Sound loss/degration question
Wmcmanus,I haven't tried the gold but I've had excellent results with the silver. Good sound quality and a failure rate of zero. Because I have a Philips CDR880 which only uses consumer grade discs, I haven't tried regular data grade, but I'm sure... 
Burnin CDs? Sound loss/degration question
I get Mitsuis online at Terrapin Tapes. www.ttapes.com. They are definitely the best!
