Dear Steve N.-Excellent points. Newer NOT always better. How do you like the Burr Brown PCM 2702E? 
Your best ''outstanding'' products in last 5 yrs?

Drop-outs
I have a "home-brew" PC with new operating system installed (Windows 7 Ultimate, I believe). I'm hopeless on the computer and know where to find nothing! I'm getting sporadic drop-outs on internet radio (Pandora, Wolfgang, Dead radio). I have not ...

Band with highest success/talent ratio?
Nick-You're a bloody fool. Had to say it. The Beatles have stood the test of time and will continue to do so. The Beatles had, without much argument, 3 of the greatest musical minds in rock history. All in 1 group. No group even comes close. 
MC loading at 47K

moody blues vs rock hall of fame
The Moodies are in my "hall" and that's all that matters to me. Yes, they were amazing and strung several tremendously beautiful and innovative albums together. By the way, for whatever it is worth, Charles Manson only let his posse listen to 2 ba... 
Dynavector 20XH W/ Rega P5- Less Bass Than 10X5?
I don't have any erudite comments about the sonic characteristics of the carts but...you will NOT get more bass with more tracking force. You will make things brighter still. 
Best Audio Store Name?
Ears Nova 
Considering analog...but nervous
Dear Portly Ghost-The truth hurts. When I listen to "Satisfaction" on a cheap TT or transistor radio, I still know the song kills. I don't need imaging, soundstaging or other hocus-pocus to tell me the Stones got it right. I own ZERO audiophile-ap... 
Considering analog...but nervous
Quick answer is "no". Anyone who buys music for soundstage, imaging and sticks to labels that produce good sounding stuff does not like music. And vinyl is all about music.
