Bill Frisell
I also own a number of Bill Frisell CD's and my favorite is "Gone, Just Like a Train" there is something very special about the way he plays the guitar. 
What makes an interconnect sound like it does?
What makes speakers sound different? With interconnects, it sounds like you have the idea. What are they made of? Geometery, insulation, termination, the connector's themselves, cryogenically treated, and the quantity/quality of everything that wa... 
Magnepan MMG........amazing
Try here, these are the best comercially available stands available for magnepan's 
Magnepan MMG........amazing
Bmwhaus- I concur, but would add that the MMG's compete with and surpass speakers that cost an awful lot more in some area's. I am not super famaliar with driver layout of the MMG's but if they have an internal crossover you could gain a TON of pe... 
Natalie Merchant Fans
Pops- I generally like her music, though Motherland was fairly poor- is it better/different then Motherland?? 
Outboard DAC's and SACD question:
At this point there is no industry standard of transfering hi-rez in the digital domain. So answering your question, no there is currently no way of doing what you are asking. There are SACD transports available, at this point the Emm Labs(aka Mei... 
Room Correction Devices PARC or TacT???
I've only heard good things about the PARC, as where I have heard mixed reviews on the TacT- fwiw. I don't have any experience with either just passing on what has been shared with me. 
Tube Research Labs gear...querie
I looked at it, if its a penny under $20k I think I would be surprised. This company is known for its beautiful pieces that sound great, but they are also known for there fairly high prices- fwiw. I could be wrong with my price figure but I'd bet ... 
Wi Fi and Hi Fi
At my place we ran a wireless and had problems with it slowing down as Jeff said things got real slow(we had three machines here at that time)- between me and you I think it was all the porn my father was downloading! We went wired and it was chea... 
AT&T ST glass vs. AES/EBU connection
This is a very component dependent comparison. I had the accuphase seperates and they sounded best with the AT&T/ST glass cable, but that's how they were designed to be used. Different components will perform differently with various digital c... 
Vandersteen 3A,, Revel F30, or Magnepan 3.6
Those are 3 very different speakers. I am a huge magnepan fan(I am currently using the 3.6's), but your amp wouldn't due justice to the 3.6, if you have no desire to change your amp- save yourself some time/aggravation and remove the 3.6 from your... 
If you haven't, you should
Is there anyone you could say its similar to? Sounds like it may be a cross between eva cassidy and rosanne cash, and that sounds interesting! 
One hit manufacturer
Sean- Thanks for clearing up my confusion :)- there was something unusual about the metal driver that he used, any clue what it was? I know people always made a big deal about the 8" metal cone woofers that were used on that speaker. I don't have ... 
One hit manufacturer
Near they had a speaker called the 50ME II and they were pretty darn good- one of the first if not the first speaker to use metal coned drivers. They made a few other products but none ever really caught on like the 50ME II and then they were gone... 
Jazz Guitar Tune At 6:48 P.M. On Weather Channel ?
Pat- You know if I had a tv, I would be paying attention but I can't help ya! If you find out what it is let me know, if its worth 2 different threads here, its at least worth a listen! How's the un-rotary project coming along? ;)
