Do any of your Rolling Stones recordings bring "Satisfaction"?
I, too, LOVE Voodoo Lounge!  Was afraid to say so here, but since someone else did, I will go for it.  It was produced by Don Was.  Might have something to do with its excellence? 
Is this the real life, or just death on 2 legs?
A teen-aged wife, that is great!  Thank you for that laugh/smile.BTW, I, too, loved the movie.  And I am not the biggest Queen fan.

I'm with udog on this one; I bought all of the SACD releases too.  I have a unit with tone controls, and judicious of them makes Stones recordings sound a bit better.  But its a tragedy that could and should be remedied. In my view anyway.

Denny Tedesco has made the movie, its called The Wrecking Crew, I have it on DVD.  Quite great.  Released in 2015, and well worth the watch.   
List of european tube amplifier manufacturers
Add Lyric to this list, made in Germany. 
What are the top 3 dream speakers you wanna buy next regardless of price?
I like the three I currently have (Vandersteen 5A, Von Schweikert UniField 3 Mk2, new JBL L100 Classic).  I would listen to Vandersteen 7s.  Also Focal. 
Is there any "audiophile grade" Reggae out there on CD?
I suggest War Ina Babylon, Max Romeo and The Upsetters.  Great sounding on both LP and CD.  And a bonus, the music is some of the very best I have ever heard.  Great songs, great messages.   
Small drivers vs big drivers
bdp24, you and I see many things the same way, maybe because of our being drummers (well, I was, no longer, but my son is, I have the Gretsch 135 set here for him to use when he visits).  Real music, live music, has a weight to it that may speaker... 
new L100?
Well I took the plunge and bought a pair for a third system, and no regrets.  Bass is full (of course) but biggest surprise to me is the quality of the mid and tweeter sounds, plus the ability to image.  Running them with a 40/50 watt tubed amp, a... 
Your favorite male soul voices
I love all the above, and add Teddy Pendergrass, David Ruffin, Levi Stubbs. 
When artistic and entertainment worlds collide.
I've seen/heard Mary twice in small venues, and am always on the lookout for another opportunity, she is fabulous.  Her last record was part of a movement to help war vets, and the songs were co-written by them well-worth a listen. 
50th Woodstock Anniversay Concert ; Michael Lang
bdp, I was raised in Baltimore, saw the Cream concert way back when there, also saw Blind Faith, many others.  And on b'day number 12 for me my dad took me to The Beatles, in Baltimore.  A few years back (maybe more than a few?) I took my son to M... 
50th Woodstock Anniversay Concert ; Michael Lang
bdp, I saw that video when it was new, made both my kids watch it, it brought tears to my eyes, still does.   
50th Woodstock Anniversay Concert ; Michael Lang
I've been to two shows at the barn, took my son to one, we stood to the left of Levon and watched his drumming all evening (we're both drummers).  Larry was there, and it was clear how much he (Larry) admired and loved Levon.  As do I.  There is a... 
Is unamplified music the gold standard?
Thank *** for Paul.
