Underspent on speakers relative to overall system?
I have 3 pair of great sounding vintage speakers. All 3 combined cost me half of what I paid for my CD player/DAC and half of what I paid for my integrated amp. If you're happy with the sound, it doesn't matter what each category of component cost... 
Your last concert was to see who and when?
@tom6897 - I missed that show. But, I do love The Fraze. It is my favorite outdoor venue, by a wide margin. I've seen many great shows there, including a few this summer.Enjoy! 
Second System That Sounds And Looks Spectacular - I Am There!
@steventoney - My records, which had been in storage for many years, are just fine now that I've set up a vinyl rig and started playing them again. I have been cleaning them, as I pull them out to listen. Otherwise, they are fine. Many of them are...

Whats playing on your system today?
@nutty - Great story and review. I was at Southgate House Revival the night before to see dada and The Trews. That was a rockin' show for sure. I think there might have been 150 people in the sanctuary room. We all got our money's worth. 
Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening
Steven,There have already been some very good recommendations. Now, I don't want to rain on the parade, but until you find out what kind of space the system is going to be used in, this is all pretty pointless. Doing your homework in advance is va...

I saw dada last night at Southgate House Revival in Newport, KY. Great show. In my book, dada is the best band that never made it big.The Trews opened up for dada. The Trews were awesome! I had never heard of this band. Now I'm a big fan. Interest... 
Integrated amp
@drhamlingrichard - What is your primary system? What sources will you be using in the 2nd system? What is your budget? Do you have physical size restraints?

Programming track playback order on a CD player- anyone use it?
I've had a CD player since the beginning - Gen 1 (not proud of this fact either). I've never used the re-order function. Way too time consuming. If I don't like a particular cut, I just skip over it with the remote. Or if I want to hear a particul... 
Good Bass Recordings on CD for Subwoofer Testing
Listen to the music you enjoy regularly. You don't want to tweak your system to play someone else's favorite music. You want to tweak it to play your favorite music.......
