Steve, it looks like the special version at Acoustic Sounds is that it's the same version but for $31.98 verses from Amazon at $22.49.  I can't see any other difference, both are Atlantic Records and the description of being the 50th Anniversary E...

Have you ever been turned off by an Arrogant Dealer? Thoughts
Maybe I have just been lucky, but all of my audio purchases over the years, at several good independent retailers, have been positive experiences.  And upon my return to the store(s), weather or not I am intending to buy anything, they have always...

Thanks Greg.  I read the Wikipedia on "I'm Not In Love" and it provided much insight into how they made the recording and created the sound.  I especially like how they got the secretary to record, while whispering, "Big boys don't cry".  I'll pla...

@bkeske Brian, I highly recommend that you send the new AQ speaker cables to Audioquest for terminations.  They have the proper spade connector for Vanderstein speakers.  And for those cables you really should get the 1000 series spades.  Also, th...
