unmarked HDCD's
I realize there isn't much interest around here in Latin Jazz (my favorite music!;) But Cuban sax virtuoso Paquito D'Rivera embraced HDCD and released over 1/2 dz.  Also, West coast bandleader and master percussionist John Santos & his Machete... 
Dog Proof Speaker Stands For Harbeth SHL5Plus Speakers
Another vote for Sound Anchors!  I've had mine coupled to my Spendor S100's for 27 yrs!  I've owned a few dogs during this time, the worst thing that's ever happened was I caught my ex-wife's toy Pomeranian peeing on the base of the stand once (he... 
Dearly departed Music Reference RM9
I'm also an owner or an RM9.  I'm curious, when you say it's 'beyond repair', what happened!?  Depending on the extant of the necessary repairs, my 1st step if my RM9 were to fail would be to call Roger Modjeski at Ram Labs to find out about getti... 
Harbeth Love and your experiences
@ jjss49 - I own a pair of Spendor S100"s.  I've always felt the Harbeth/Spendor story to be unique because they've historically made a few speakers that seem to be "siblings".  I've always imagined the Harbeth 40 series to be a kind of Spendor SP...

Argentinian blues!  Too beautiful.https://youtu.be/bn-x6twpULs 
What do you think of soundbars compared to speakers?
Zvox 555 - one of the best kept secrets in the soundbar business!!!  A flat rectanglar box, my 50" plasma sits on top of mine.  Pulled it out of the box and was listening to it in less than 10 minutes.  Plugs into the wall with one cable to the TV...

Ry Cooder recommendation...
Re: David Lindley & Rayo-X.  I own 3 studio LP's by them but they also recorded a killa live album!  I'd say it's one of the great  'unknown' live records.  Absolutely worth looking for!   
Ry Cooder recommendation...
I have most of his records and am a big fan.  The most unusual soundtrack he participated in would have to be 'Crossroads' where he 'duels' with a young Steve Vai!  A good record that should've been great IMO is by the band Little Village, an unkn...

Jon Herrington, check, CTI, check!  CTI tried to make a comeback in the early 90's releasing an interesting group of recordings.  Unfortunately, the effort failed fairly quickly.  One of the 1st was Chroma - Music On The Edge - taken from a live 1...

...since yr talkin' 'Soul Jazz'.  Came across an interesting recording last week.  Leo Gandelman is a Brazilian Jazz Sax virtuoso who I'm a huge fan of.  I searched iTunes to see if he had anything in the pipeline and up popped this recording whic...

Is it idiotic to stack an amp and tuner directly on top of a CD player?
Gottasay, since you've got good gear AND experience with Salamander and Herbie's product, it seems like you already know the answer!;) 
The demise of the music CD inevitable?
"...CD will go bad in 20-25 years."This statement prompted me to check some of the very 1st CD's I bought, back in '84-'85.  I'll be honest, I've literally been reading about 'pinholes' and 'CD rot' for decades, I've never seen holes or rot, ever!... 
Any modern band that comes close to Mahavishnu Orchestra ?
I was also lucky to have been able to catch the Mahavishnu Orchestra in a small club the 1st time I saw them, unbelievable!  I saw them again in larger venues (2X) and while they always delivered, it never compared to that 1st nightclub show!  Whe...
