The DOORS 45's- Any standouts sound wise?
Heard there will be a new box set of Three Dog Night on 78 records 
Anyone know of a source for long-fiber wool?
You can use whatever is leftover for a sweater. 
OSX CD ripping codec
In this case, the adage "bits are bits" is entirely applicable. Lossless is lossless and there's no difference between any lossless format whether aiff, Apple lossless, flac and wav. There may be differences in terms of accessibility and the like ... 
Wishing everyone a "Merry Christmas"
Is there really a need to introduce religion into this hobby and this board? Rhetorical question. 
The Death of Tubes?
The light bulb regulations don't include tubes. No effort is underway, at least seriously, to regulate tubes. 
What Is Your Favorite Vintage Amplifier?
Purely for sentimental reasons, my first piece of stereo kit -- a Harman Kardon 330c receiver that I purchased with my allowance money and some cash I earned shoveling snow for neighbors. 
Review: JBL Studio 530 Monitor

Apart from Led Zeppelin (the Mothership album is outstanding), I've been using a remaster of Gaucho by Steely Dan (who were incredible in concert last week and featured an incredible sound system). 
The Worst Performance Ever - Really
I thought The Who's performance at the Super Bowl a few years back was one of the saddest thing I've ever seen. If the show hadn't been so elaborately staged, I'd have assumed there was an issue with the monitors and they couldn't hear one another...

Just curious why you want to do that. Does the stock look, as it were, appear unpleasant? 
Please help me which music is that?
The name of the song is "The Blue Screen of Death."
