Hi, Bob. Welcome and glad you introduced yourself! I would 2nd the 20W amp.

Welcome Sanford. I'd love to see some pics of your gear if you get the chance to post them.

Welcome, Bill. I used to live in Lakeland. There's a great group here!

Welcome, Dave!

I love the cover on this one. Every once in a while Goodwill comes through for me..... It even has a nice texture like a painting.

@ under a $1 each you really can't go wrong with vinyl if it is not scratched. Yesterday I stopped by after work to find somebody else's trash to be my new treasure. 50 albums, 7 Elton John, 2 CSN, a CSN&Y, 2 James Taylor, Jethro Tull, 2 Bob Dillan, Jimi Hendrix, Lovin Spoonful, Booker & Heat, Psychedelic Lollipop Blues magoos, Neil Young, Neil Diamond, Eric Clapton, etc. Almost all in VG+ to mint condition, all still have original sleeves and any posters & booklets. Ooh, Sound of Music (favorite for my daughter and I) and Meatloaf Bat Outa Hell - sweet!

I noticed the prices are quite high and not many are around. I don't have any, and am not sure I will given the steep prices. It would be nice if there was a site that ranked the quality of "standard" CDs. Its really disappointing to get a new CD that has such low quality recording. I think the two best sounding CDs I have are The Eagles - Greatest Hits, and Eric Clapton's Unplugged. I also have a few half speed LPs that sound great. Unfortunately, I have a lot of CDs that aren't really that great. Does anybody have any suggestions on some of the better sounding CDs out there? Generally I listen to classic rock & pop from the 70s - 90s, along with some of the more current music.

Can somebody explain to me? They aren't SACD or DVD-Audio, but aren't they supposed to be better recordings than standard issued CDs? How does this work? Does anybody have experience with these? Are they good?
