| Kenwood KR-10000 III questions Thank you. I saw the $1800 sale (marked down from $2900), as well as the (Belgian?) sale for €3000. Having little experience with vintage stereo equipment, and not thinking of Kenwood as a high-end brand, I was surprised. I’ll be speaking... | |

| What was your first record? The first “adult” record I can remember was “Montego Bay” by Bobby Bloom and “Moon Shadow” by Cat Stevens. Before that it was children’s records on my Close And Play. My dad worked for a distributor ship that supplied jukeboxes, and brought home a... | |
| Integrating speakers into contemporary decor - can WAF ever be overcome? Happy wife, happy life. That’s part of a good marriage. I’ve had a dedicated music listening area, such as a basement or room (AKA “man cave”), where I can be along and listen to what I want. And good quality headphones also work. | |

| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Not really sure. One source says they were from Ohio, another one says they performed in MD. I heard one of the band members taught at UMD for a while. But again, not much out there about them. Good album, though. And it is on Qobuz. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Just finished the CCR Live at Albert Hall album. Not sure how I feel about it. The sound quality could have been better. I am listening to the eponymous “Hindu Love Gods” album, upon recommendation from another thread. After that, let’s vis... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Kansas City Jammers - Got Good If You Get It Kinda hard to find but worth it. A local Maryland band from the early ‘70s, and this their only album. But it sounds so polished. | |

| What are you streaming tonight? I’ve been dipping into the new Qobuz releases also. The UB40 album “Unprecedented” is a return to form for the group Imagine Dragons - Mercury Acts 1&2. I’m not really familiar with this group, but have to say I like the album. Also ... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? I’ve been checking out a New York-based collective of Brazilian artists called “Forro in the Dark” on Qobuz. Popping music! |
