Can You Trust a Shipper? (UPS, Fed-Ex, etc)
You had a bad experience, so nobody else should use a shipping service. OK....

The Galion Audio TS A75 amplifier: Great amplifier for very little money
@yakbob - What were your experiences then, in listening to Galion gear? Perhaps a very large percentage of people who buy audiophile gear are not on and do not care about Audiogon forums.   
Truly Stunning Vinyl Album
One of the best sounding records I've got is ABC's 'Lexicon of Love', with Trevor Horne's masterful sonic production....  
Soundtracks and Film scores, your favourites
Music from Twin Peaks - Angelo Badalamenti and David Lynch  
Are you familiar with this guitar virtuoso
@stuartk - sorry, I just noticed the Roy Buchanan part of the OP, not the Matteo Mancuso one; I wish him the best of luck!

@goodlistening64 - Southern California boy? He was originally from Baltimore and then moved to San Francisco in 1974, and was one of the first artists on Berkeley-based Beserkely Records. SF and Berkeley are in Northern California. Just looked at... 
Power Amplifier - Maximum Resolution & Detail!
MSB makes some superb power amps as well as their DACs they're most well-known for. I've got an S-200 I bought a demo of about 10 or so years ago; that model is superb in most everything, but is long discontinued, but they've got more current mode... 
Listening to what we Like Instead of what we have to
@mesch + 1 - Fritz speakers are a great buy and Fritz is a great fellow to deal with. I had a pair of Carrera BE's that were about $3K at that time....  
High end bookshelf speakers for Small room
If you can find a place to audition them, I'd suggest looking into Marten speakers, from Sweden. I've got a pair of stand-mount Parker Duos, which are superb even without the diamond tweeter upgrade....
