The Best CDs to Give as Presents
I've given John Fahey-America & Nick Drake stuff as presents mostly to people who have no idea who the artists are and it works every time. 
Anyone using a touch screen for PC audio?

Check out my setup here. 42" w/ Mini. Works great. 
How can you not have multichannel system
The Fillmore SACD IS done VERY right IMO. It's just that not all SACDs are done correctly. I think its something about the live stuff with the audience all around you that may make it seem more immersive...hence better. It is on par with the live ... 
What piece of music can you play over & over?
For at least a year I would fall asleep to Brian Eno-Neroli. It would play on loop all night and as I would fall in and out of sleep I would hear it. Does that count?
