| Favorite obsolete formats..... My first music purchases were 7" 45 RPM singles. That format was what teenagers for the most part bought in the early-60’s. Most albums at that time were a hit song and a bunch of filler. The exception to that rule were the albums by The Ventures ... | |

| Two new books on great musicians. Damn @rpeluso, you’ve seen Marty Stuart live! Was it solo, or did he have his band The Fabulous Superlatives? They are in my opinion the best band in the world at this moment in time. I met Marty at The Palomino in the 90’s, but it was just an ind... | |

| recommendation for stereo tube amplifier for Marten Bird 2 speakers other than EAR.... The Martens are wonderful loudspeakers (I've heard them), and the M-60 a great amp (I've owned them), but with a nominal impedance of 6 ohms (dropping to below 5 at some frequencies) I’m not sure that is a good pairing (unless you add the AntiCabl... | |
