Jethro Tull - "Songs From the Wood" 40th Anniversary - Steven Wilson Remix  
Are modern receivers any better than older ones?
@kehilbatu - Are you using the Sony in a 2-channel music system, or in a multi-channel HT system? If 2-channel, do you need/use the AM/FM radio tuner? If not, you could replace the Sony with a moderately price Integrated Amp and probably notice a ... 
The Good Stuff
Joey DeFrancesco (featuring Houston Person) - "Moonlight in Vermont" live at the 5 Spot. The really good stuff!    
Looking for Preamplifier with HDMI Arc...need suggestions

Volume Control Too Sensitive
@elliottbnewcombjr  - So, you would add "variable attenuators"? OK, that works too...  
A perfect song? What are your choices?
Elton John - "I Feel Like a Bullet" Love, betrayal, loss, historical reference, Elton, Bernie. What else do you need?
