Many thanks @soix ...definitely agree on the aesthetics of Sonus Faber. I just lined up a demo for next week. I'll give the Rockport a look. 
I wish these albums were available on vinyl
@spiritofradio just went back and listened to Freddy Jones Band for the first time in about 25 years...thanks!I'm assuming if you're a Gillian Welch fan, you also enjoy her partner Dave Rawlings? He's been at or near the top of our household playl... 
Whats playing on your system today?
Everything Dave Rawlings...Poor David's Almanack, A Friend of a Friend, Nashville Obsolete...love everything he's done! 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
@spiritofradio we saw the San Diego show...started almost 2 hours late with no opener and then absolutely tore the roof off start to finish. Vocals were a mix a Robert Del Naja, Liz Fraser, Horace Andy and Daddy G. Adam Curtis did all the videogra...

@spiritofradio we saw Massive Attack's 20th anniversary of Mezzanine tour a couple years back...one of the best shows I've seen in the last several years! 
Whats playing on your system today?
Brute - Nine High A Pallet...great quirky album by Vic Chestnut (may he RIP) with Widespread Panic as the back up band.Allgood - Kickin and Screamin...live set from one of the best southern rock bands no one knows of. Guess Athens GA is in the house. 
802d3 powered with MC462?
@b_hol I'm also considering the Sonus Faber Amati Tradition & Il Cremonese, the Paradigm Persona 9H, and potentially Harbeth/Revel.

Aurender question regarding which tablet ?
Phone works...iPad definitely supports more functionality. 
Best music in 2020
@j_husker...Maggie's Song is the Old Yeller of dog songs...tough for me to make it through without tearing up. 
Best music in 2020
Thanks @hudsonhawk...HUGE Radiohead fan and will definitely give both a listen. An older, but great Radiohead related project that I was just listening to over the weekend is Johnny Greenwood Is The Controller...compilation of JG's favorite reggae...

Great thread...definitely going to be digging in to some of these suggestions.@spiritofradio & and @slaw our tastes seem very aligned. Big Isbell fan, both Sturgill's Cutting Grass albums have gotten tons of play in our house, LP5 is just beau... 
"The War on Drugs" create music from a "cacophony sound" of reverb, echo plex, etc,
I'm a big fan of War On Drugs. They're fantastic live and hail from Philly. I'd put Lost in the Dream in the top spot of WOD albums...also worth checking out Kurt Vile's (former lead guitarist) solo work. Bottle it In is a great album...check out ...
