What are your top three live concerts of all time?
Romeo Void at the University of Arizona Student Ballroom. The guitar, bass, drums and sax of this band were really locked in and was mesmerizing. I also saw the Talking Heads and Ramones at the same location but Romeo Void was best. Jonathan Rich... 
A perfect song? What are your choices?
@bdp24  I'm with you on the Kinks except I would add Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One and Muswell Hillbillies to make a great 6 record run.    
Reviewing the fabulous Silversmith Fidelium Speaker Cables
I bought the Fideliums some months ago and think they are great plus they look pretty cool. I initially used them with a lower powered SET amp and was pleased. My question is whether anyone has used cable risers with them and if there is any b...

Can’t tell if you are being facetious but Waterloo Sunset is about an area in London near a train station called Waterloo Underground. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterloo_Sunset  
A perfect song? What are your choices?
My selections:     Waterloo Sunset by The Kinks (Ray Davies) The Wind by Cat Stevens Days by Television      
How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music?
I was also very much into Television. That is the band that made me want to pick up a guitar and start playing. I really like both guitarists but appreciate Richard Lloyd's playing the best. I also like XTC although I initially didn't go beyond Dr... 
How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music?
As I was an amateur musician in the late 70s and up through the mid-80s, I can give you my perspective. First off I want to commend a bunch of you for listing some great acts of the 80s. I listened to much of this stuff because I had friends who w... 
Anyone own Linear Tube Audio Amps?
A couple of other things. I have Spatial Audio Labs X5 speakers so the bass isn't an issue for me since the woofers are driven by hypex class D amps. The other thing I forgot to mention which I think is a big difference (beyond the warmth that t... 
Anyone own Linear Tube Audio Amps?
I own both the Rogers integrated amp (65V-2) and the LTA 40+ integrated. I've had the Rogers for a while and really like it. I saw a chance to buy the LTA 40+ integrated used and jumped on it. It has all the upgrades including the phono stage and ... 
Rogers High Fidelity Integrated amplifiers
Sorry, by three units, I meant two tube integrated amps and one tube power amp. I have heard a few solid state amps. Also, if you search the internet there are discussions whether, if you want a tube sound, it is better to have the preamp be tube ... 
Rogers High Fidelity Integrated amplifiers
I have only heard three different units so I can't give you advice other than to say either (1) try to get some kind of audition with similar speakers and set up or (2) if you are happy with what you have, don't go chasing rainbows.  
Rogers High Fidelity Integrated amplifiers
I have the Rogers High Fidelity 65V-2 for my Spatial Audio Lab X5s (97db efficiency). This is my first tube amp other than a try with an inexpensive Chinese one that I quickly returned. I met another owner of the X5s who was using the Carver Crim...
