| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) Those not wishing to convert all source material to digital will want to avoid the Linkwitz LX521, as it's x/o is digital. Nelson Pass is working on an analog one for the speaker, price yet to be determined. The LX521 requires 3 stereo power amps,... | |
| What is the most memorable concert that you had attended so far? glupson, I thought it was in the late-1990's/early-2000's at The Universal Amphitheater in Los Angeles that I saw Cohen, but I just looked up his touring history and discovered he was not performing in that time period. Picturing him on stage in m... | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) kot’s ET LFT-8b suggestion ignores the op’s price range, costing only half of his low end. But two pair CAN be had for $5000, and "stacked". | |
| What is the most memorable concert that you had attended so far? Darn it, I forgot about the two really great shows I attended when I lived in NYC (Flushing, Queens, actually ;-) in 1983.Dave Edmunds and his 3-piece band (which included the late, great Mickey Gee on Telecaster) played a set of 100 proof, bliste... | |

The line-up has reminded me of a couple other great shows I have to mention.In the mid-80’s I went to see The Plimsouls (Peter Case’s pre-solo group) at a tiny little "club" on Ventura Blvd. in Studio City named The ... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? @uberwaltz, so UK refers to England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, correct? I love Rockpile, and that great band had members from England (Nick Lowe), Wales (Dave Edmunds and Terry Williams), and second guitarist Billy Bremner from where I don't k... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Oops, sorry uberwaltz! I use the term in the old fashioned sense, as in "veddy British". I don't care for the Woodstock movie (I had no interest in going to it; sit in the dirt? No thanks ;-), but seeing The Who on stage in their fine Bri, I mean ... | |
| What is the most memorable concert that you had attended so far? Just one? I’ll risk inciting the ire of anyone already finding me too "something" by listing a few:- The Beach Boys at The San Jose Civic Auditorium in the Summer of 1964, my first concert. Brian Wilson was playing Fender bass and singing.- The Be... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Ray Davies is my favorite writer of all the British bands, including the Nerk Twins ;-) . He is SO British, capturing and invoking the soul of that country in the same way Brian Wilson does the U.S. A. To continue the comparison, he is, as is Bria... | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? The MC5 and Iggy & The Stooges were both signed to Elektra Records in 1968. The two bands were contemporaries, the MC5 hardly being "punk long before Iggy Po (Pop)". Though you may have just recently learned of The MC5 tyray, they are a very w... | |

| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) Priced at the low end of that range, it's gotta be the Magnepan MG3.7i, though that speaker may not please a lover of the JBL sound. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? The Kinks Village Green album (a long-time favorite of mine) is getting the deluxe/boxset reissue treatment in the very near future. The album was part of the group’s fantastic "middle period" Face To Face/Something Else By/Village Green trilogy. ... | |
