Somehow I ended up with a second copy of Dire Straits' 'Love Over Gold' on SHM-SACD. I think it was a back-order I forgot to follow up on - slightly expensive mistake, but hey it may be your gain! I've decided to Karma this one to you guys as a little thank you for helping me spend so much money the last 2 years :cool:

Pick a number from 1 - 200. I've thought of the number already. Closest to it without going over wins it. Don't duplicate anyone else's number! One number to a person! Any other loophole I haven't thought of!

I'll give it until Wednesday 4/18 @ 5pm PT.

And tell me your favorite Dire Straits / Mark Knopfler song if you have one.

    Excellent Karma for an exceptional sounding SACD.

    I'll take 78 please.

    I like Sultans of Swing and Walk of Life. All their stuff is good though. Thank you for the opportunity! Great Karma! And it's a SHM-SACD I don't have, but would definately like to have!

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    Great song choices so far - though I'd be hard pressed to name a DS song I didn't like lol. 'Calling Elvis' is a great song - reminds me of when my dad bought the CD and our first CD player ;) (1991 ish)

    Carry on!

    Wow, what a great Karma, Praz. A very kind gesture. I can pick a number, 57, no way can I pick a favorite DS/MK song (they're all great)!!!!
    If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money.

    It's hard to name just one favorite. I know this album isn't as popular as BIA, but Telegraph Road is one of my favorites for sure, right up there with Sultans of Swing and The Man's Too Strong

    187 and agree with janmike, Walk of Life. Thanks.
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.
