Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks type music, any others?
Meschiya Lake and the Little Big Horns CD "Lucky Devil" is great stuff. I found that on CD Baby. 
source for HDF
Your best bet would be to find a dealer that specializes in supplying wood workers with furniture grade plywood and hardwood. If they don't stock the HDF they'll special order it. 
First song to "Blow You Away"...
Bonnie & Delaney's "Never Ending Love Song" 
HELP Can't remember the name of a product
Back in the day, the Mod Squad did a disk that covered the entire surface… and Marigo Audio has disks that cover the surface. 
Recommendation for new 5-ch Amp
There's also the Theta Intrepid. At around $1,500 new, it's a no-brainer 
Most "Musical" sounding speaker cable under $1000
Clear Day cables work pretty good. 
Diana Krall Survey
I confess to owning most of Diana’s CD’s… I confess to wondering what possessed me to buy all that elevator music... I confess to not playing them very often… I hope that T-Bone doesn’t muddy this up too bad… and I’ll probable pre-order the new CD... 
Interesting Ads
Personally I'd run like heck from this guy in fear of him slapping a surcharge on his asking price for the privilege of dealing with him. 
looking to audition Running Springs P C--
Here's another vote for Audience. I have both the aR 6 and the aR 6 TS. The aR 6 handles the cable box, the Pioneer flat screen, and the Apple TV. The TS handles my amp, pre-pro, and CD/DVD. The TS is beyond the bucket great... I just wish someone... 
Audiogon members poor packing and shipping damage
How is it that UPS / FedEx didn't pick up on the fact that the 3.7's were so poorly packed? My local shops routinely tell me the packaging has to be able to withstand a 4 foot fall on to a concrete floor… without damaging the contents. In response... 
Home theater stands
You might want to take a drawing of what you're looking for to a local metal fabrication shop. I had one made from 2" x 2" square tubing and it was substantially less expensive than anything available commercially. After you dampen the tubing (lot... 
oppo 95 vs theta compli blu
Theta's website talks about the differences between the Oppo and their Compli Blu. I own a factory hot-rodded Compli Blu and I’m very pleased with it. In short, to upgrade the analog out performance, my hot-rodded version uses the OPPO 83 SE board... 
why use towers if you've got a sub??
My sub is a JL Audio f112 and about a year ago I went from Focal Micro Utopia BE Monitors to Avalon Ascendants. I now find that I’m listening to the system instead of listening to the monitors… then the sub… then the monitors… then the sub… … … an... 
Nordost Norse 2 Speaker Cables + Interconnects
I experienced the same effect earlier this week when I replaced a pair of somewhat inexpensive IC’s with a pair of Frey IC’s. 
Focal Electra Driver removal...
Dastrix... You'll learn a lot about this by viewing threads by members johnsonwu and Bryoncunningham. Bryoncunningham actually posted pictures of his Focal crossover.
