Supratek or Don Sachs - which way to go?
A quote from the Four Tops "I can't help myself". I suspect this will get removed too.  So be it.   
Hot CD Stamper?
What now?   Unless you mean SACD, or remastered from Master Tapes, etc. 
Great cheap LP's are still out there!
I too saw the Beatles, in 1964 (on my 12th birthday, with my dear old dad). 
Luxman CD players
I have a 5 and a 6, both wonderful units.  I would get another 6 if I had the need.  Big increase in cost from 6 to 8, and not worth the added cost, to me.

Tostadosunidos, this is unbelievable, thank you! 
Best speakers for classic rock
The JBL L100 classics are excellent.  On rock.  On non-rock.  On music.  I have them.  In a third system.   
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.

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...
