What is the best doors album in your opinion?
Man!!! That's a very good question and very difficult to choose. But for me, It would be a toss up between Morrison Hotel, not only for the music but also the album cover, and LA Woman. 
what concerts do you wish you attended?
Without a doubt, Stevie Ray Vaughn, anywhere. I missed one of his last performances in Knoxville, Tn., because I couldn't get my girlfriend, at the time, off her ass and off the couch.I had tickets to see him, with Clapton, the year that he was ki... 
Morph The Cat : Revisited
If you have never heard Nightfly, which was Fagen's first solo effort I believe, you owe it to yourself to try and find a copy and take a listen. I own an original copy of the LP, and would love to find a newer copy, myself.Donald Fagen and Steely...

Levinson 20.5 monos - Time for a Refurb?
I would second or third the recommendation to send your 20.5's back to the Levinson repair department, if you think that they might need attention.I have, on occasion, had to send both a cd transport as well as my 332 amp(that I shorted out and bl...

Resolution Audio Opus 21 Vs Wadia 302
I am a big fan of The Resolution Audio player. Then, send it to Steve Huntley at Great Northern Sound for his Reference Level Modification. (Or you can purchase one from him).I owned a Wadia 860 with his his reference Level mod. And I was not disa... 
Merry Christmas Everyone
Thanks to all the great people that I have had the privelege to buy from, and also ship to, this year.It has been a total eye opener, and a definite learning experience."'A long, strange trip it's been.""Merry Christmas." Look forward to doing som... 
Wadia 302
I have no experience with the 302, but lot's of experience with the 860 and 861's. And one 860 that had the Reference upgrade from Steve Huntley, at Great Northern Sound. It was the best that I have ever experienced.You didn't say what price range... 
CD player in the $2,500 to $5,000 range
Wadia 860 or an 861. It's right in your price range. Find an 860 and send it to Steve Huntley at The Great Northern Sound Company and let him update it with his reference modification.You won't regret it!Blackest background and lowest noise floor ... 
Whose sorry now? Sellers remorse from selling amp.
Absolutely, and beyond a shadow of a doubt, the worst mistake that I ever made was selling my Mark Levinson 33H monoblocks.I have been unable to obtain anything close to the system that I had.And now the prices have gone out the roof, and it will ... 
Difference between Wadia 850 and 861B and ML390S
I can highly second and recommend Steve Huntley at Great Northern Sound Company.I am currently using an 860 with his reference modifications.After auditioning a Levinson 390s I felt that it beat it out hands down in dynamics, a practically non-exi... 
Help choosing tube monobloc's
I can also vouch for the Rogue M150's. I have had a set in my system for a while.I had traded down from a set of Mark Levinson 33H monoblocks, so it was quite a shock, at first. But as they got some hours on them I became quite fond of them.I am p... 
Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking?
My Mark Levinson 33H monoblocks, and my Revel Studio speakers were the perfect match for my modded Wadia 860.I sold my Levinsons in a weak moment, and have regretted it ever since.Now I will have to wait for the prices to drop (if they ever do) to...

Are you looking to buy new or used? What's your price range?The reason that I ask, is if you look for a decent deal on something like a P-25 or a P-9 and put a decent cartridge on it, or even a nicely modified P3, you can find some decent buys rig...
