MFSL Queen ok or not ?
I agree with Cbucki in regards to the DCC, I was very dissapointed with the "Night at the Opera". I have a feeling Queen's music wasn't recorded well so its not the challenge of finding "the best", its about trying to find something that won't mak... 
Simple, Stylish Songs for Piano
Look into Jim Brickman's "Simple Things" fairly simple to play- If I can play it then its easy! And it has a nice sweet rhythm to it when you sing along. You can find it http://www.musicnotes.com and search Jim Brickman- he has a few other songs t... 
What's the oldest piece of gear in your system?
I've got problems, my speakers are my oldest component and they are around a year old- everything else has been brand new in less then a year- yikes! 
Anybody Heard the Vandersteen 5A'S
I agree that for a multi-driver speaker the Vandersteen's are very coherent, but(and this is a big but) there is no comparison to a single full range panel/driver(or pretty close to full range) when it comes to coherency. That was the point I was ... 
Anybody Heard the Vandersteen 5A'S
That's a big change going from quad's to vandersteen's- I think both are great speaker's though they are very different from one another. The quad's will give you speed(unlike ANY dynamic driver can) and a natural midrange that is to die for- not ... 
Redbook Audio Aero Prima vs SACD palyer?
Golden_ears- I agree with everything you said besides the SACD's being expensive, I haven't purchased a SACD for over $16.99, sure some of the reference Mo-fi and analogue productions stuff retails for $25(which still is not bad for how good they ... 
jena labs cables..differences?
I've compared Symphony, Valkyre and Pathfinder interconnects and speaker cables, yes there are differences though they are subtle; but worth it if you have the $$$. All of the things that Jennifer's cables do well are done better the higher up you... 
If you haven't, you should
I got Flamming Red today and 1000 kisses is on its way- thanks for the recommendation! Though I wouldn't go as far as sayin its Eva Cassidy meets Rosanne Cash more along the lines of Sheryl Crow meets Vanessa Carlton with a Lucinda Williams edge; ... 
Chapter Audio, Gryphon, Chord, Talk Power Amps
Justin- I wish I could afford the Tenor's right now, but they have to wait a year or two :( I am planning on purchasing JC-1's when the BAT sells. 
Chapter Audio, Gryphon, Chord, Talk Power Amps
Right now the best amp I have heard is the new Tenor Hybrid's, it is so transparent and resolute, it may be quite some time before another company even matches what Tenor has done let alone surpasses it. Soon the stereo amp will be available makin... 
What music have you been buying? Old or new?
Ben- Great job with the new music- it was late when I made my post and I knew I forgot a lot of really good stuff that came out this year! 
SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel
Ritteri- Again your making assumpthions that you don't have all of the fact's I know people in the USA who have over 1000 SACD's personally- so again you are WRONG just deal with it and move on! Here is just one store and they have currently 959 a... 
Does anyone have Georges Bizet's "Carman" on Delos
Correction- Should be "Carmen" 
SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel
Ritteri- Check out http://www.sacdinfo.com there are well over 1500 SACD's available at this time and that's just what is in the database, Stephen(the founder of SACDinfo) is always behind and can't keep up with all of the SACD's coming out. You r... 
What music have you been buying? Old or new?
Hey Nrchy- I am a younger member here(22 years old) and have purchased 417 cd's year to date(I keep track, don't ask why) including SACD's. About 80 of them would be cd's that came out this year(not including remasters, etc...), so even though I a...
