| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear I know the request was for one, but I simply can’t help myself, so here’s two:The Rock City Angels - Young Man’s BluesDivine Weeks - Through and ThroughThe Rock City Angels were one of those coulda, shoulda, woulda bands that was somewhere between... | |
| Neil Young calls out Tidal If a person wants to stream Neil Young's music in full fidelity the way he wants it heard, buy a subscription to his Archives web site. I only paid $20/year, and it's a proverbial rabbit hole full of rabbit holes. Highly recommended. | |
| Running a preamp into another preamp I’m not able to follow completely, but I know you can run one preamp into another because that’s exactly what I do for my stereo.I have a McIntosh MX110z, which has a limited number of inputs, so I have a Kenwood Basic C2 preamp (which is where I ... | |

| Your vote for greatest (covers) album I don't know of any album sloppier than Sid Sings, but I, too, have enjoyed it a lot.Yes, the Motorhead covers album is good, and I also liked Guns N' Roses' Spaghetti Incident and Metallica's Garage Days Revisited; both had a couple low points, b... | |
| Ever feel like a "low dollar" customer that your dealer doesn't think worth their time? Let’s add another good story to the mix:I am what I would charitably call a thrifty audiophile who almost always buys used; the key pieces in my system are a 55-year-old Mac preamp and 35-year-old Cornwalls. A couple years ago, I was in Omaha and ... | |
| How do you sort your LPs? For my collection of about 3,000, I do what others have noted, sorted by genre, then alphabetical, and the genres within rock are arranged in a loosely narrative way.For example: 1 - before the Beatles 2 - surf and hot rod 3 - garage and mid-60’s ... |
