What would you do?
This is a response to John's earlier message which I failed to pick up on. If what you say is correct, eg that the person who's had the negative feedback assigned to him / her has to be approve of it for it to be posted...then you are 100% correct... 
What would you do?
You state that "you lost money on the deal" but really how much are we talking here? Is it just shipping and handling fees? Please bear in mind that this is a very popular unit and you should have no problem re-selling the unit.I believe that you ... 
Cary 306 SACD
Senna: are you saying that the strength of this player is SACD playback? I'm looking for a player that strength's lie in redbook mostly or at least is equally adept in both formats.

Visions of Johanna (Bob Dylan). 
Help, what's the best "Sticky FIngers?"
One of the saddest days in my audiophile life was losing my MFSL copy of Stickey Fingers. This release is just flat out awesome and I beg you to compare 'brown sugar' and 'moonlight mile' to any other release.

Your Wish List for Reissue on Vinyl
More Neil Young stuff. Neil was VERY concerned about sound quality on his lp's and it shows. Greendale is avilable on 180g and 200g but I would ike to see some of the older Lp's half mastered such as Hawkes and Doves, Comes a Time, etc..Also, some... 
What Guitarists Remind You Of SRV Or Hendrix?
Azjake: do you know if the rumour that Hendrix was aiming to do some jam sessions with Mile Davis at the time of his death was true? we can only imagine what that would have been like... 
Looking for a great arm that is low maintenence
Nrchy: all of the arms you have listed are excellent choices. Whatever you do, do not opt for the ET. If you breath on this arm, it will go out of alignment. With a suspended TT (which the SOTA is) which is subject to ambient humidity and temperat...

Viridian, most of the early MSFL releases I have were mastered by Ricker (mastered is appropo here). In Stan we Trust...
