| Burmester 948 / isolation platforms You might consider the Vistek Aurius MIB's also. Oliver at Delve Audio can help you with them. I've been happy using them under my transport. They can be a little tricky setting up though if you have heavy cables connected to the equipment. | |

| Your favorite Cello recording YoYo Ma's recording of Dvorak's Cello Concerto on CBS Masterworks is a must have for me. I have others also, but this performance is my personal favorite. I agree with the Du Pre recommendations. She was truly amazing. | |
| Cat Stevens.... Great Artist or Wacko? I agree with you. Many of his songs are truly classics. It's hard to say what his motives are, but it would be nice if he started to produce some new music. He gets high marks from me. | |

| Great Acoustic Guitar Recordings They may need be audiophile recordings, but if you want to hear incredible jazz guitar, pick up some Django Reinhardt recordings. His work with Stephane Grappelli in particular is noteworthy. I also second Redkiwi's recommendation of Joe Pass. He ... | |
| What CD has the best production/sound? Another highly rcommended cd would be the soundtrack to The Living Sea disc by Sting. The sound is excellent and the disc is very enjoyable. Different than you might expect from Sting. | |

| Thiel 2.2 power amp match? I have Thiel 3.6s. Thiels can be a little difficult to drive. I'm using a McCormack DNA-1 Deluxe with them and have been very happy. I recently had it upgraded by SMc Audio to Revision A Gold and it has made a tremendous difference. You can pick u... | |

| transport dying? I just got the bad news about my California Audio Labs player. It needs a new laser mechanism and the estimate was $348. Since I paid $200 and the player new was $600, I told them to keep it. I hope your problem is different.Good luck. | |
