Top 10 Live Albums
Lots of great choices so far. I'm amazed at how different my list is today, compared to what it would've been 10 - 20 or 30 years ago. JEFF BECK - "Performing This Week....Live at Ronnie Scott's" JACKSON BROWNE - "Live Acoustic, Volumes 1 & ...

What is your top sexy song?
I've attended 500+ concerts, and the sexually charged atmosphere at a Sade concert is beyond comparison.   
Steve Morse pays tribute to Jeff beck
@stuartk  Thanks for that! I was fortunate to have seen The Dregs in 1978 and the most recent reunion tour in 2018. I have a couple of friends who lived in Macon in the 1970's and got to see them in local bars before they signed with Capricorn Re... 
Integrated amp for Legacy Focus speakers
@kevinshunt Separates might be the way to go. Your $6K max budget could net something like this* (all 3 components listed below are currently available @ The Music Room, who offers "buy it - try it," even on used gear): AMP: SPREAD SPECTRUM TECHN... 
Integrated amp for Legacy Focus speakers
It seems to me that the biggest challenge that you're facing will be finding an integrated amp with enough inputs and a built-in DAC. I've seen multiple I/A's that I almost recommended, except they had a built - in phono stage, rather than a DAC. ... 
Integrated amp for Legacy Focus speakers
Lots of good suggestions so far. I recently helped a friend get back in the game and he went with a Vincent SV - 237 (hybrid: SS amp with tube preamp), because of his budget limitations. The BAT hybrids were out of his price range; but, BAT has ye...

Looking for a new Subwoofer
@mike4597 You didn't mention if you liked your Definitive Technology sub. If so, it would make sense to look at the GoldenEar SuperSub XXL ($2750) or two of the SuperSub X's ($1750 EA).   I'm also in the market for a new sub. I've only owned Vel... 
What is your "holy grail song" that you cannot find?
@ozzy , check out the website for Culture Factory Records. Around 10 years ago they released remastered CD's of the first 4 Rod Stewart solo albums. I have all 4 of them and they sound very good (96 Kz - 24 bit). An extra bonus is that they use a ... 
What is your "holy grail song" that you cannot find?
@garebear , a friend of mine confirms that there is a studio ("demo") version of George Harrison performing "It Don't Come Easy." He also confirmed that it was never commercially released; so, finding it on a bootleg (which is what he has) looks l...
