"Beer makes me patient".  Mind if I use that?   
Putting it to bed
Saw him/Genesis late 70s,  Trick of the Tail tour when duo percussion with Chester Thompsom.  Wow.  Roxy54, agreed.  For his most virtuoso playing however,  find him playing session on BrandX Product album (Passport Records 1979).  British prog-ja... 
Welcome Back!
JWillow, agreed.  I'm glad that I found out about A/D/S mobile back when.  Had a nearly hour long commute then and in my 1996 cherry red Integra S they made it bearable.   Later, found Morels to be similar (also silk domes).  But I digress... 
Getting into Stevie Ray Vaughn
Always admired him but his material just didn't vary much from album to album.   If you like his Texas sound try some Chris Duarte.  Or Kenny Wayne Sheppard (LA).  Not well known at all but Mark May (and the Agitators) is very likeable.    
Getting into Stevie Ray Vaughn
Blast from the past!  He "opened" for the band his older brother Jimmy played lead guitar for, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, at the Midland TX Sheraton.  Talk about a small venue!  Prob 1984.  He was soooo loud.  Anyway, he did a very well done album... 
Does Steely Dan sound bright to you?
Big fan back when but had been a while to sit critically.  Added TT a few years ago to revisit many of that era vinyl that I'd been toting since the CD took over.  Compared last night after this thread.  So to me, I sort of agree with OP but it's ... 
Cartridge for my friend
264win, I did similar on my Carbon going from Red to Blue.  The improvements were immediate and not subtle.  To me, that would indicate that there is likely more room for some improvement so Bronze,  as a price/quality point should be the sweet sp... 
Is your system amazing and you just dont see it?
Thoughtful thread.  I see, and here many of the same points made.  I lack reference and exposure to top systems due to location.  But damn it if my system doesn't fail to impress me at its modest level.  Gleaning what I can, especially from eavesd... 
VINYL SUCKS!
So in short order we've had "no room needs treatment" and "vinyl sucks".  Wow.  Did Agon get hacked by foreign agitators or something?  Just don't take the bait folks.  But yeah, you have to admire Claypool's skills if nothing else and that Bucket... 
High quality equalizers
Anyone have opinion on what something like an ART EQ341 might do for this application?  Seems popular in the mixing/studio realm but not sure what to expect for SQ in the audiophile world.   2 ch EQ, both balanced and unbalanced. Inexpensive at $1... 
High quality equalizers
A similar question also for hearing loss compensation  but does anyone know of an affordable EQ solution that has adjustable, 2 ch or Left vs Right?  My loss is more in one ear.  Wondering if best solution is simply 2 Lokis.   
What room treatment product have transformed your room or audio system?
ATS is great place to get affordable panels or DIY for most economical.  Knauf Ecose with FSK facing (white poly on one side) is best for taming bass and room nodes.  Not sure ATS offers the FSK version.   I found at insulation supply store.  Buil... 
A pleading request to manufacturers of amplifiers and preamplifiers.
When I opened this thread I never thought I'd see the word circumcision used in a sentence but there you go.  Class D anyone?   
Can't believe I let myself get sucked in again.
Pretty new here myself.  So you'll be shopping for speakers soon... have you met kenjit yet? 
Critical subwoofer tip
I have to agree with Erik and others.  The room is the elephant... in the room.  At freqs being  discussed the room resonates in many modes at exactly a sub's typical range.  Doing SPL is likely swamped by this.  Some cool links out there that sho...
