Hi,I once posted this question to Stereophile, to which I was subscribed as a gift from my wife. They never replied. I pose it now to you.If you could have any given number of players, always the same, playing the same piece of music in your living...

If you liked Julia & Angus Stone's "A Book Like This" ... ... you will love Angus' new release: Smoking Gun by Lady of the Sunshine An amazing recording and for me the best new release of 2009 so far.

Give a listen to 'White Rose Parade' http://www.myspace.com/ladyofthesunshine In addition and to round things out, the art work for the whole album is great: "I wanted to work...
