From NAMM 24. Manteo Mancuso
Anyone into fine guitar players, especially electric, should check him out. SRV is a favorite of mine, and has a style unlike most. Matteo,  seems to be able to play any genre of guitar music. We all have favorites, and I know I had backlash from ...

Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K
The reality I think, is that rock and roll goes hand in hand with loud. Anything can play loud, but so much music is compressed, as so many speakers. This is why I threw in that jazz piece as a demo for everyone to try. Playing Satch and Ozzy mean... 
Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K
Play " Housed From Edward " from Trio Jeepy. Not rock. But crank this, and see what your system brings to the table. Being there are fan boys of all types, and those stating mine is bigger than yours..... I Love my Lascalas ! BTW, interesting that...

McIntosh 2.1kw amplifier?

Jazz LP Audiophile Recommendations
Bill Frisell : East / West...I own it on cd  
Your greatest high end audio purchase!!!
After 50+ years, I am beginning to think, it is my latest acquisition, from my friend Tim ( rawsonte ). Tim advertised a diy F4, the F4 being one of a hand full of Pass amps I have little experience with. Using my very much needed Usher P307A, it ...
