| Best live album you've ever heard? Two best sounding live albums by my ears ... one well known, the other not so well known. The well known one is 4 Way Street by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. The not so well known one is Live At Gruene Hall by Jerry Jeff Walker. | |

| Old Classic Receivers: A Mistake to Buy? I purchased a Marantz 2216B about a year ago at an ebay auction. I was looking for a classic receiver that was in good shape and had not been abused and found one that was part of an estate liquidation on ebay and had had a single owner. I paid ab... | |

| Blood ,Sweat, & Tears The newly remastered redbook CD and the SACD version of this same album (2nd BST album; first with David Clayton Thomas) are excellent sounding, as well. I have been listening to this group for the last 30 years or so (since 7th grade) and their m... | |
| Need Suggestions on CD Player under 1k Craig:I have the Music Hall and I am very happy with it. It was an upgrade from a SONY XA1ES player. I find that it picks up details that I did not hear before and is pretty musical sounding. I find that it is not fussy with the electronics that i... | |
