Tori Amos factoid she plays a Bösendorfer piano- if any one really cares. 
Latin Jazz -- Your Top 5
Marakanetz- That's amazing your number 5, I can't believe the played right through till Sunday! The two copies I have say it was "Friday Night in San Fransisco" :o) 
What are the Do's & Donts on Hi Fi components
Where's Marco??? He could have a blast with this one! 
Jacintha SACD
David- I have three of the Jacintha SACD's and have experienced absolutely no problems playing any of them. Try and find someone locally who has a SACD player and see if they play fine there, it would seem to be the first logical step to figure ou... 
Best drink while listening to your rig?
Pops- I have not tried the vodka you mentioned- have you ever tried Jewel of Russia Ultra? that is the BEST vodka I have ever had the pleasure of imbibing.I prefer plymouth gin when drinking pink gin- for martini's its a little to dry for me- I pr...

EMM Labs DCC 2 - Sneak Preview
It is indeed. 
Would you pay to rent my media/video room
spit sink, bright light and electric/hydralic motor to go up/down and tilt forward and backward- to tell you the truth it really is pretty comfortable. Besides the WOW factor of people when they see the thing is pretty cool- makes the stripper pol... 
Would you pay to rent my media/video room
