Speaker cables comparison chart:: Much Needed
Try to find a pair of used Zu Libtecs on A'gon or Ebay. Lots of value for the money. I found them to work wonderfully with my ProAc's. If you don't like them you can usually resell for very minimal loss, if any. 
Outdoor Speakers: Paintable
I have a pair of Niles OS 20's outdoors. Nice sound as long as the source material is more focused on the mid range and does not have a lot of treble. They came with an extra special grille that covers the drivers and allows you to paint the speak... 
Outdoor opinions?
I run Niles outdoor speakers - OS20's. There may be a newer version but I am happy with their performance. The interesting thing about them is that the better the source material the better they sound - even outside. 
YBA preamp PSupply help
Call michael at audio plus services. Very helpful and they were/are yba distributers. 
Jeff Beck Rock-n-Roll Party
I agree, one of the best concert videos I have. Imelda May is such a great performer. Saw her live this fall in Chicago (without JB) - great show. Also, the cut with Trombone Shorty really wails - great horn section. 
Grounding question?
Interesting thread, what happened? 
Sony BDP 470/570/770/480/580/780 mods by EVS
I am pleased with the minor EVS mods on my Sony. I use the it mostly for concert DVD's, but as a back up cd player it is very satisfying on most discs. The concert BD/DVD SQ is very good, much better than the older Sony it replaced. Ric seems like...

Crossroads 2010 dvd/blu-ray
I actually prefer the 2007 performance, especially disc 1 which has many great performers that just aren't quite super stars. The more "country" performances (Tedeschi, Nelson, Gill, Crow etc) are very, very good imho. 
Am I late to the Zac Brown & Jamey Johnson party?
I recently picked up jamey johnsons Guitar Songs from the library. I may be in the minority here but it sounds wonderful on my system. Rich, warm and a very punchy bass. Am i the only one who feels this way? 
Separate Insurance Policy - LP's, Memorabilia, Etc
I am an ex insurance claims guy, and I suggest you change your company to one of the majors. There should be no limit on LP's etc in normal policies, only the overall limit on personal property. Claims on such items would be based on their replace... 
Help Father of the bride dance song.
Just married off my daughter over the weekend! I used "Love and Happiness" by EmmyLou Harris off the "All the Road Running" cd by Mark Knofler. Beautiful song about your wishes for your children. 
New Mac Mini Outputs
Wow, thanks for the responses. I guess I was mistaken about the Toslink. I want to do 24/96 without the need for an adaptor. Thinking about a YBA Design wd 202 DAC for among other things, the headphone output. Have been running various YBA product...
