anyone know John Doe and the Sadies?
You people are nuts. This album is brilliant! For those of you who like Country Club should check out an album called Poor Little Critter On The Road by the Knitters. They were a country alter-ego to the band X. It is X doing great country classic...

I am a winemaker in California producing much sought after reds. I have a huge vinyl collection and see many parallels between wine and music. And yes while a bottle that drinks above its price point is good, a bottle that is priceless is better. 
Big Star..??
Well, In my humble opinion, LX Chilton was the Lennon to Bells McCartney. Bell was a little to syrupy for my taste on his own. He needed that smug punky edge that LX brought to the table. 
Thorens TD-124 cartridge?
How would a Dynavector 10x5 match up?

with the project phono tube se II amp I should be able to achieve 55 db with the switch jumpers on the back. 
HK 730 Twin
Yes that is true about the ears, It just sounds so lush and open. In comparison to my B&K ST-140 amp there is no comparison. The HK makes the B&K sound irritatingly harsh and super bright. 
Dylan live now
good is subjective, his performances are ALWAYS different. He operates on a different set of standards that mere mortals cant understand.

Dylan is a chameleon,a genius period. 
Best tubes for the Pro-Ject Tube Box SE II Phono
By the way, what are the stock tubes? 
McIntosh mc2501

Headphone Match?
I should clarify. On the ear type, not the phones you can hear from the outside once they are on. No noise phones. 
$8oo dollar budget
speakers are B&W 602.5 s3, Room size is 20x25. 
headphone amp
Not really into the headphone game yet so at first just some very basic headphones. My pre does not have a headphone line and i need it for late night listening. Im not that obsessed with complete audiophile quality in the headphone area. 
Bob Dylan
This album is unbelievable on vinyl. Columbia does a great job with all the recent dylan lps.
