Does West Coast Jazz get any better then this?
They sound fantastic!  
R.I.P. David Bowie
Oddly I know him more as an actor. Just re-watched Basquiat for the 10th or so time. He plays Andy Warhol in it, and it's utterly amazing how good he is in that role. Seriously, check it out. Also an intense noir called The Hunger, similarly superb.  
9 year old Parasound Jc 1s or new Bel Canto 1000m monos?
If you do get Triton Ones (and you should, I just sold mine, they're killer) you don't need big amps. Good amp yes, but you're just pushing their small drivers. Check out van Alstine integrated.  
What's the greatest bargain in audio racks these days?
I have a Quadraspire that I heart. Can hold anything. Budget stuff may collapse with your lbs.  
Sound Liaison Winter Sale 50% of DSD and 33% off on Flac
I'm obsessed with Sound Liaison recordings. They are so incredibly good. The Paul Berner Band release is crazy good, as are the Carmen Gomes.  
How to best ship big & heavy speakers internationally?
Pretty sure UPS & FedEx have weight limits under this. I use uShip for big speakers I've sold, Tyler D1 & Tannoy Churchill. No problems. They're pretty great actually. Door to door service.  
Album which you have listened to most?
The Cure - Disintegration  
Ryan Speakers
Bookshelf pair at Ember AV here in NC, they sound pretty great on a big Octave amp.  
CD stuck in Player---Help---Bebel Gilberto
Same here: Bebel's self titled. I think I got via HD Tracks. It's incredibly good. I play it 2x/week or more.  
Best speaker in the $5-10K range. Details below.
Goldenear! Can't go wrong. They're dreamy.  
Olive Media 06HD Trouble Shooting
I owned a 6 and a 3. I could go into a deep dive re all the problems, but not here, too tedious. PM me and we can chat. The short version: walk away and get a Sony HAP.  
8 Ohm Output into 4 Ohm Speakers
I did it on mine; it was easy.  
Spectron Musician ii issue
Agree, for Pete's sake, walk away. Time to go shopping!  
If I like Gorecki'S Symphony 3 I'll like.....?
I keep trying to find anything I like as much as Gorecki #3 and coming up crickets. Just listened to Bruckner #8 in hope, and found it shrieky. I own 4 versions of G #3 and dig them all.

I'm using Chord Odyssey 25ft I bought here. Thin gauge. Working dandy.
