BEST FEMALE VOCAL EVER
I could never pick a best. I am too capricious and the choices are too many and too great. Two that I've been fascinated with lately:Timi Yuro. I never heard of her until a few weeks ago and I think someone in the radio industry needs to be punish... 
How can anyone want more......Just a very happy listener.
 It's really very simple. Some of us are addicts. I'd estimate that when we get to the point of reading forums like this, at least 75% of us are looking for a vicarious fix. I remember the first time I got high smoking marijuana. It was awesome; b... 
Have you ever reversed your opinion on a piece of gear?
I've had a Nakamichi Receiver 2 since 1992. Never had any problem. I love it. 
Advice on buying good CD player that will outperform my Primare cd31
I have a Primare I32 and an EVS modded Oppo BDP-105D. It's a very nice combo; but I'd love to hear a Primare-to-Primare to compare.

I am a "Moron"
I was just thinking something along both orpheus10's and boxer12's lines of thinking just before I opened this thread. It went like this. I may never buy another vinyl LP again. This after receiving a totally defective, stylus-damaging copy of MSF... 
Cannot find perfect sound

Best phone preamp for around $500?
The Musical Surroundings Phonomena II can be found for that price and is very well reviewed. I love mine. Here is a II+ for $525. That is a great deal. I'd jump on it if I wasn't so comfortable with my II.https://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topi... 
Furukawa power cables
The points made by @biketech60 reinforce my belief that the main problem with high-end cables is the shameless mark up. The just don't cost anywhere near, as in not in the same universe, what it costs to manufacture, distribute, and ship. How can ...
