Dealer selling B stock doesn't tell customers
Mlsstl, If you were asking me how I know it happens, I have had it happen to me. A dealer sold me a cd player, didn't mention that it was B stock. Someone who knew the dealer better told me it was B stock after I had problems with it.I returned it... 
Dealer selling B stock doesn't tell customers
The dealer should absolutely tell you if the item you are buying is B stock. I would not count on all dealers to do so and would ask though. 
what would you do?
What 52tiger should have done has been made very clear at this point. What I suggest you do now is talk to Kevin Deal and not one of his employees if you have not done so already. If Kevin told you that it was too late to do anything about it I wo... 
James Taylor reissues?
Sweet Baby James and Mud Slide Slim are both available on Audio Fidelity gold cds and you should definitely get them if you like James.I was listening to a live album by James and he told the story about how he wrote Sweet Baby James. When James c... 
CJ Premier 16LS2 upgrade suggestions
I believe that your 16LS2 already has the teflon caps in it. That's what the 2 at the end signifies. If your amp is suited to your speakers (I don't know if it is or not) the newer c-j preamps use only one or two tubes making them much cheaper to ...

Fremer lays an Ostrich egg...
I think the difference between the OP's view and Michael Fremer's view of the amps may be their speakers. VS VR9SE (OP) vs Wilson Audio Maxx 3s (Michael) as well as their different systems in general. 
Beatles Reissues on VINYL Finally
Well, if you read the article that mofimadness posted, it is pretty clear that digitizing a tape during the mastering process does not necessarily ruin the sound, it can actually improve it. Who would have thought that? Here is an excerpt from a r... 
Pink Floyd Imersion set DVD-audio disk wont play
I just reported what I found on Amazon, which I checked because no one had answered your question. That's all I know. I don't have the set.You can keep trying to get it to play in your DVD-A player if you want to. It may play eventually. 
Wanna feel old?
Jimi, Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell are all dead. A great group. Too bad they got lost in all the craziness of the times. 
Audiophile blues...
Chess records reissues its stuff periodically. Artists include Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Willie Dixon, Little Walter, Etta James, Chuck Berry, and many others included on compilations. I can't vouch for the sound quality of each reissue but you ... 
Pink Floyd Imersion set DVD-audio disk wont play
I checked the DSOTM Immersion Box Set at Amazon and none of the discs were described as DVD-A. There were cds, dvds and a bluray disc. Pop it into your dvd player and it should play.
