| Best beer Newcastle has a seasonal beer out now called Werewolf (unfortunate name) but it tastes pretty damn good. Different hops and barley makes for an appreciably better tasting beer. I haven't drank beer for a few years now and only happened upon it at ... | |

| Is a high priced Line Conditioner needed I got a Blue Circle PLC 2X Thingee which is a mighty fine power conditioner that runs parallel to the AC and doesn't limit the power one iota. It's built inside a PVC tube to keep the cost down. You can get the version with the fancy metal casing ... | |

As for others, check out the recommended music over at 6moons.com or just do a search on top rated oud players over on Amazon. I'm sure th... | |
| What audio components are heirloom quality? Whatever is considered "heirloom" quality today should be a good indicator of what it would be tomorrow (+20 years). | |
| Getting into SACD The TEAC PD-H600 was considered by Absolute Sound to be one of the best CDPs under $2K at the beginning of this year even though you couldn't source one anymore. I own one and it's a great CDP for the money, but for $1600 (demo price) the Marants ... | |
