| Most overrated bands Dylan enjoys putting people on. Fair enough? đ I like Sheâs About a Mover and Rubber Ball as much as the next guy, but come on! As far as Beck goes, I suspect itâs a generation thing. đ | |
| Most overrated bands Well, duh! Dylan picks his opening act. Itâs not an accident. Of course he would say something good about Beck. Geez! Of course, Dylan has also said good things about Ricky Nelson, Booby Vee and The Sir Douglas Quintet. | |
| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? I actually do not find that objectionable. On an objectionability scale of 10 Iâd give it a 2. | |
| Most overrated bands Beck has 5 Grammys. His first two albums (more than 20 years ago) went platinum and double platinum, respectively, some time ago. Not bad for a young punk. | |

| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? I find it best not to ask questions to folks whoâve been in the audio hobby for a long time.

All were cryoâd by Cryopro. Great sound. Long life. I was one of the very first to employ a cryo lab on a regular basis and also one o... | |
| Impressions of the Re-issued Genalex Gold Lion U77/GZ34 Rectifier Tube Jitter, I recommend you spend 48 hrs in the garage. Slow thaw. Let us know how it works out. | |
| Impressions of the Re-issued Genalex Gold Lion U77/GZ34 Rectifier Tube Jitter, actually I agree with what you said. Which is that you donât understand the whole process. Alas, this is what oft happens when inexperience runs smack into experience. Oops, did I just say that? | |
| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? Correcto Mundo! Nobody ever said trial and error was a good idea. I have said it wasnât a good idea like forever for speaker placement. You have to have a method. Trial and error is like trying to solve N simultaneous equations in N + x unknowns. ... | |
| Impressions of the Re-issued Genalex Gold Lion U77/GZ34 Rectifier Tube Cryoâd Tubes donât have a shorter lifespan. Thatâs an old wives tale.
