HELP Electrocompaniet stole Christmas
Fpeel, You're probably right. Besides AA would probably get to vitrolic anyway. I also concur FS Audio is coming through like a champ. Way to go guys.

I'm having to agree with Sean and Jcbtubes here. The distributor by offering an upgrade that costs $695 is in essence selling a product. I can't imagine that this product, like all other products he sells, doesn't have a decent profit margin built... 
Source vs Target: where is the weakness?
Isn't the listener the target? Perhaps we should be upgrading ourselves! Easier said than done.

I also think "Love Art" is fabulous. One of my favorites.

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!

Bela Fleck and the Flecktones "Left of Cool". Terrible lite jazz! 
Bought Wilco and Cowboy Junkies this weekend....

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!
