Your last concert was to see who and when?
Joan Osborne, last night in a 600 seat theater with excellent sound. Just Joan singing and a guitarist and pianist accompanying her. Marvelous! 
Old friend looking for acoustic folk inspired music
Slaw, Mary Gauthier on an amateur night?! Ya gotta start somewhere, I guess! Living in L.A. for as many years as I did, I saw some surprising things. One night I arrived at a little club I was playing at in an instrumental trio, and as I loaded in... 
What happened to the "club atmosphere" of Audiogon?
I just wish I had discovered Audiogon sooner. I have learned some great stuff here, not the least of which is some artists with whom I was not familiar. And I’ve "met" some people I would be very happy to be friends with in real life ;-). Thanks y... 
Vandersteen 7 amps?
A lot of Vandersteen dealers also sell Audio Research electronics. I've heard the 7's sounding fantastic powered by ARC. Give Randy at Optimal Enchantment (in Santa Monica, CA) a call. 
BARNES & NOBLE HAS VINYL!!!!! BUT IS THE QUALITY UP TO AUDIOPHILE STANDARDS ????
One thing to be aware of, for new-to-LP's buyers: In some cases, an album (album meaning collection of songs---an album can be bought on an LP or a CD, or even as a download. In other words, "album" is not synonymous with "LP") title will be avail...

Yep Slaw, Mary Gauthier is one of the best somewhat new artists, imo. But after lp2cd suggested she and some of the other recommendations aren’t really Folk (according to his definition), I could see his point. I guess she could be considered Sing... 
Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses.
So there ARE (not shouting, but my 'puter doesn't offer italicization) bulk wire manufacturers (specifically the ones from whom the fuse makers claiming directionality get their wire) who offer direction-orientated wire, and indicate the "flow" di...

Big talent, as is his wife Iris Dement.

KCAG has the same wire in both balanced/XLR and unbalanced/RCA versions---all three legs of silver in both versions. Balanced/XLR and unbalanced/RCA Silver Streak, on the other hand, are different from each other. Balanced/XLR Silver Streak has tw... 
Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses.
"It's how the wire of the conductor is manufactured that determines it's sonic directionality"."Obviously unless the cable manufacturer keeps track of the directionality of all wire the result will not be satisfactory"."All wire is physically asym... 
BARNES & NOBLE HAS VINYL!!!!! BUT IS THE QUALITY UP TO AUDIOPHILE STANDARDS ????
The poster/posting assumes and implies that the LP's sold at Barnes & Noble are unique to B & N. They are not; the LP's in the B & N racks are the same as those sold at all other retailers. B & N doesn't get LP's pressed expressly ... 
QUALITY AND SECURITY OF "LITTELFUSE" PRODUCTS
Thank you Roger! John Lennon: "Just give me some truth. All I want is some truth".

If the cable is balanced with XLR's, Kimber's Silver Streak is as good as KCAG. The SS uses silver for both positive and negative legs, and copper for ground. The single-end/RCA version, on the other hand, has silver as the positive leg only, copp...

Why not good ol' Sorbothane? 
Old friend looking for acoustic folk inspired music
Wow, good one lp2cd! I hereby rescind my Mary Gauthier suggestion, and admit that after considering what you said above agree she should not be considered Folk. But let me point out that the op's request was for suggestions of "acoustic Folk inspi...
