At what volume do you typically listen?
The volume that wont have me making an appointment with an audiologist, lol. Huh??--Mrmitch 
Is it wrong?
Cool! Now listen to Ancient Dreams by O'Hearn.--Mrmitch 
Synth/Electronic LP recommendations
Hard to find but a group that goes back to the 60's called Silver Apples and their eponymous album-early analog synth music.--Mrmitch

I've been buying vinyl at PREX since 1986-those were the days for incredible finds and deals. If youre looking for 1 to 4 dollar great buys, go to Vintage Vinyl in Fords NJ, just off of Rt. 1 near the Menlo Park Mall. Great classical rock selectio... 
Best Band That Never Was
Sammy Snot and the Seven Sinuses biggest non-hit-"Pick That Booger" 
What to do with bad recorded CDs
Invest in a good 12 gauge shotgun like a Benelli and shoot skeet with them. 
Audiophile Custom Plates...
Not an audiophile plate, but my urologist's plate reads "NO P C ME"

Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green
I agree with those who feel there is no "Best" blues (or any other idiom) guitarist. For every name I can come up with someone will have one that does it better. Everyone's style is different and what appeals to some might not float your boat. I d... 
Best things 'in life'
My Fender Stratocaster,a good Montecristo Victorie, and staying at the Biltmore Hotel in Phoenix. But that would all change if I thought for one second my wife would read this thread, LMAO!

Why Doesn't Contemporary Jazz Get Any Respect?
Some truth to your comment, Coltrane1, but I think youre forgetting the impact the industry has on whether youre perceived as traditional or smooth jazz. Talent doesnt seem to count for as much as what the producers and marketing execs think your ... 
I know this has probably been discussed...
Elizabeth, I agree totally with you. Most of my over 1000 LP collection was mastered before the digital stuff but I have some that were digitally mastered. If it sounds good, lose the snob appeal of only a pure analog mastering will do, I say! And... 
Separate Insurance Policy - LP's, Memorabilia, Etc
State Farm covers my collection as long as you have documentation of worth. A rider attached to the policy covers my collection. I made a database using Excel, some go as far as to take a pic of front and back of album covers. 
I saw a great blues band tonight.
Daniel, gotta agree with you, heard Chris Cain on Sirius XM and liked it a lot. My priorities are a little reversed from yours- Rock is numba 1, Blues numba 2. Dont listen to country, but next are Jazz and Classical. Ever hear Hillstomp? If you lk...
