Atomic Rooster,   Sleeping For Years.     
Whats playing on your system today?
@ozzy  Sorry I took so long to get back to you. I put on the Live in Japan album and my wife emerged from her office, started smiling and singing along. Thanks for the suggestion.😁

Dream Amps I Could Not Afford 20 Years Ago Now Undesirable
Back then I lusted over everything in every store and in every magazine. And I still do.  I mean, who wouldn’t lust after a $50,000 Lampizator DAC or maybe some MBL 101 X-Treme speakers?
