Best progressive rock album side
@larshepping - Considering how many millions of copies 'Brothers In Arms' sold, I would say the answer to your last question is a distinct 'No'.  I'm 70 and I've always liked to try to keep up with contemporary music. Some I like, some I don't, j... 
Susvara pre-amp and amp combination
For my own Susvara use, I use an MSB Analog DAC which has a volume control, and an Eddie Current Studio B headphone amp, which also has a volume control but no remote, which the MSB does have. With the right tubes, Susvara sounds awesome through t... 
Anybody watch Steve Huff audio on the Tube?
Anytime somebody accuses one of these people of 'payola' or some such, I just say 'prove it'. I've got a lot more reason to believe somebody who is putting it out there on his YouTube channel than 'some guy on the internet' spouting off anonymous... 
Anybody watch Steve Huff audio on the Tube?
I enjoy his audio YouTube stuff; I doubt I'd have any use for his paranormal channel either....   
New In 2022
@bdp24 - Yeah, Flamin' Groovies were great; their earlier stuff like Teenage Head, with their original singer the late, great Roy Loney is excellent as well... Sounds like you're a 'pub-rock' fan....   
Hey - What Happened to the Beware of Viking Acoustics Thread
@nonoise + 100  
Streaming vs Physical Media
@bkeske  - I've had that for decades, but it's from the Warfield. That's a painting of the Warfield from stage-view on the cover....  If you check the credits in the booklet, it says it was MIXED at Club Front, but this was recorded at the Warfiel... 
Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding
@jasonbourne52 + 1 , though 'Days of 49' on 'Self-Portrait' was pretty good. Still, not a very good percentage! Loved 'We're Only In It For the Money', but tried and failed with 'Lumpy Gravy'.   
Streaming vs Physical Media
@bkeske - I didn't know about that JGB from Club Front in 1990 - is that available on CD? I didn't see that on any of the Garcia Live series....  
Ridiculous sale
If somebody feels the amp is worth that much to them and they don't want to wait a year, seems perfectly reasonable to me...   
Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding
There are entire genres, like jazz, blues, and country, that do nothing for me; nothing wrong with them, of course - there are great artists in all these genres - or the people who love them, but not for me, and I'm not pleading for help or unders... 
New John Doe on vinyl
Thanks for that info - I'm a big fan of X and of John's stuff; I've seen him perform in San Francisco with the Sadies a few times, too...   
Comments re: MSB Director upgrade cost, additional hardware and cables
Yow! Think I'll stick with my MSB Analog DAC; can't do a Director upgrade on that anyway....   
Mixed Brand Pre-Amp Power Amp Pairings that Work
I've got a Herron Audio tube preamp going into an MSB S-200 power amp, and the sound is superb...   
Your last concert was to see who and when?
This show right here - Kristeen Young, my favorite musical artist, at DNA Lounge in San Francisco 3 weeks ago on April 29....
