Best Rock Album in 2010
I have really been diggin Avalon by Sully Erna. Laid back, unlike what you might expect 
any audiophile guitarists out there?
I play a Diezel VH4, an awesome amp. In addition to its plethora of great features, one can crank the master volume and turn down the channel volume to get tube distortion at a reasonable (note, reasonable not quiet, volume). I tried bogner ubersc... 
Van Halen or Van Hagar
I am a fan of bothI always demo "ain't talkin bout love" and don't buy anything unless I get the vibe from that song on the systemAnybody know if there will be a DVD of the reunion tour? 
Tequila's turn?
I love it; chillaxin- I must use this term (and of course give Tom6897 the credit)! It sounds like a great trip to Puerto Vallara Lcouplin. I will definitely try some of everyone's recs 
dust, smoke, grease
Is this an issue with Magnepans too? I know they are not electrostats, but seem to always be mentioned in the same vein of planar speakers.The reason I ask about these issues is that we would likely put them in an open living area in continuity wi... 
zakk wylde the Randy Rhodes of today?
I would agree. The further I have gotten into his catalogue (BLS harder and hangover music, Pride, Book of Shadows) the more impressed I have become. He is not pigeonholed as much as the nonfan would think. I love his tone- not as thin and piercin...

the garage
thank you all for your responses. I will look to move the gear inside somewhere. 
Tube takeover
I guess I didn't realize that only three companies in the world manufactured tubes. I realize that guitar tube amps or audiophile amps, preamps, etc are products used by a minority of the population, but it seems that would be an open market that ... 
Changes to the Watt/Puppy System 8
I have been a fan of the watt puppy 7, so this is not a criticism, but it seems to me that continued price increases on the watt puppy platform may significantly diminish sales. If I understand correctly, the w/p has worked its way up from around ...

Review: Martin Logan Summit Speaker
Babydoc,Your system looks fantastic. I wonder how your system sounds with rock. I ask because when I last auditioned speakers, I was sold on martin logan (odysseys)with every style of music I tried except rock. I listen to less rock at home than w... 
Best Concert Film
Bigjoe- excellent- AC/DC is a very good disc.I wholeheartedly recommend Joe Satriani- live in San Francisco. He seems like such a modest guy, but man can he play. Stu Hamm on Bass is awesome as well.
