Room treatments - GIK Vs Acoustimac
I did alot of research before I bought my panels. I was going to buy from GIK until I saw the back of their panels. They didn't/don't trim the fabric and they just looked cheaper. Granted it's on the back, but I thought maybe the overall construct... 
Denon DCD A100
Audiogoner "Theo" just bought one of these and did a ton of research before he made his purchase. Maybe he will respond. I think he found the Denon for close to half price. 
Van Halen, baby
I agree with Tom on their new album. Very disappointing to say the least. I also saw them in concert many moons ago and they did put on an excellent show... 
Can't find Sarai Givaty music on CD
I have recently also ran into a couple of artists that I was looking for their CDs and found MP3 downloads only. I am assuming it's a much cheaper way for the artist(s) to get heard. I didn't buy the MP3s, hopefully they will have CDs out at some ... 
Transports and jitter
When I was looking for a transport a year or so ago, I tried many and found all of them to sound different. Some better, some worse, but all made an impact. There was a thread on here awhile ago talking about transports and most all who responded ...

Snell EIV: refoam or replace?
I was a Snell dealer and your EIV are excellent! You do not need to take the whole speaker in for repair. Pull the woofers out and send them to:http://www.simplyspeakers.com/speaker-refoaming.htmlorAny number of other repair places. There is anoth... 
Tom Waits Bad?
Tom Waits is an acquired taste. When I was younger, I really didn't care for him. As I've aged, I can listen to certain albums with admiration.

Thanks for the info on Nina. I have been looking for different albums by her. There are so freakin' many! I did get for Christmas a new CD boxset that has 9 of her RCA back catalog albums:http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Album-Collection-Nina-Simone...

Thanks for recommendation! I've never heard of her. I have really been getting into Nina Simone recently. Talk about talent... 
ever been duped ordering "new" CDs on Amazon?
I buy well over 100 CDs a year from Amazon and Amazon Marketplace. Big difference guys. Amazon sells NEW CDs, Amazon Marketplace is for third party vendors. Some sell new, some sell used. I've only had 1 bad CD that was listed as "like new", but r... 
Unfocused Sound stage
