Favorite Dylan?
With Dylan My "favorite" changes regularly.Just picked up Mofi 45rpm "Desire" this afternoon. I will clean it in a few minutes and give it a spin. I remember walking into a record store in 1975 when it first came out. It  was playing on the store ... 
New Rega Planar 6
How would you describe the differences between the WTL and the Rega? 
Favorite Dylan?
With just about every album Dylan ever did my favorite is usually the one I listen to at any given time.rpeluso nailed it on Red River Shore. Close your eyes and listen; a poignant palette of story and sound. Reaching for it now. Gotta go.

When I owned  a pair of Dyn C1s (not Platinum) I used a Simaudio i7 integrated. I listened to a T+A integrated at my dealer at the time, from the R series, along with a T+A cd player. To my ears the bass was taut but not as deep as the Dyns were c... 
Best Brahms Third Symphony
Thanks for the responses. I usually buy classical from arkivmusi. I will take a look there. 
Most overrated bands

Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers
My concern is that the speakers are sitting on the stands without a secure coupling of the speaker to the stand. Will this limit the resonances from the speaker being transferred through the stand to the Gaia, thereby limiting their effect? 
Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers
Would the Gaia 3 work with monitor speakers on stands? Or would the Iso-Pucks give the same benefits of the Gaia’s? 
I'm wondering if I can fit this in my house

LIO versus LFD NCSE with Harbeth Compact 7?
I have the LFD NCSE MK II. I went to Axpona 2017 for the express purpose of listening to the Harbeth SHL 5 plus 40th anniversary edition. At the time I had the Harbeth m30.1s for about five years; the Compact 7s before that.Vinnie Rossi was had hi...
