B&W in best buy
Getting good audio equipment out where the public can see and hear them is all to the good. Don't know what lines are there but anything that enlightens people as to what is possible is worth promoting. 
Wanted to share with GON members my new "JOB"

Need a SACD/Redbook player
I don't listen to a lot of CD's since getting more heavily into vinyl a few years ago, but do have an SACD collection that gets a fair amount of use. About 10 years ago I bought a Marantz SA-14, it has problems with a few SACD's but I have the Son... 
If you could bring back one great artist that has
Saw Janis a few times, very hit and miss. When she was on she was memorable and dazzling when she wasn't it wasn't worth the time.Would like to bring Mozart into this. Another artist who was beginning to break into new venues or avenue of creation...

If you could bring back one great artist that has
Buddy Holly has been mentioned more than once and rightly so. Elizabeth took Mozart so for another one that left to early Frederick Chopin 
Need advice on CJ preamps
I agree with Chuck but the Premier 16LS II will set you back another $1,000 or so. It is a great pre-amp I have one and really enjoy it. The Premier 10 is also a good choice as is the PV-11 which can be had for under a $1,000. I had one of those t...

Mikelavigne stated it very well, I don't care how the piece looks I care about what the piece does. If it makes music then YEA everything else is an afterthought.
