Who said "you can't take it with you"? 
Anyone Else Like Jimmy Smith?

How did you get started?
When I graduated from grammar school I recieved a folding "all in one stereo w/ Garrad turntable" as a gift from my parents. Most of my rather generous allowance (I worked hard for it) went towards records (1'st 45 was the Beatles "Hey Jude", firs... 
Biwiring: can you really hear the difference?
It depends on the system. With Vandersteens and Linns, yes! With Dunlavys, I'm not so sure. 
High Sensitvity = good transient response ?
"valves" to control air flow? Sounds like the the old Proacs(?) with straws stuffed in the ports (semi ports or multi ports or semi passive radiators?).

DVD-A Question
RETRACTION!!! I erroneously posted that "some players will out put DVD A 24/96". Should have read as some players will out put DAD 24/96. I apologize for any harm this may have caused. 
DVD-A Question
Reprince, I believe some players will out-put DVD A 24/96 but I'm not aware of any players that will out put DVD Audio 24/192, yet . 
Music to test with:
