Charlie Byrd.... best albums ?
Brasilian Soul, duets with Laurindo Almeida, is my favorite.I would also recommend, "The Guitar Artistry of Charlie Byrd," a 45rpm double which contains two of his best albums, and the sound quality is exceptionally fine.

Has anyone heard the Audioquest Dragonfly?
Sfar, good one. 
Why my left speaker sounds louder then my right
another vote for a hearing test. the downside: you'll be shocked what good hearing aids cost.
