Welcome, jo1.  I blow hot & cold on Wilco.  Jeff can get on my nerves sometimes...he gets a little whiny for me.  AGIB never really grabbed me for whatever reason; Sky Blue Sky and, distantly, Summerteeth if I had to pick Wilco favs.Tonight, h...

Listening regularly, just not posting about it regularly.  Last couple of evenings been spending time w/George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass".  Surprising to me how well most of the music on this triple album has held up over time.  Not familia...

"Good tube Integrated Amps"
I'll second wolf_garcia's and other's comments about the Maryland-based Jolida.  Had a Jolida 502B for a decade.  My intro to tubes.  Good value for the money.  The factory upgrade for it was another high value bargain.  It responded readily to tu...

Does anyone use the Silverline Audio SR 17 speakers? If so, how do you like them?
freediver - I’m not a pro reviewer but, fwiw, I’m running Prelude Pluses. They sound great with tubes. Took a while to break in and playing with placement definitely helped with bass quite a bit. They image well and create a wide soundstage...outs...

Real Live Dylan and band are smokin’. In particular, Mick Taylor sounds fantastic. Check out his work on "I & I", e.g., his solo after the last verse..."Someone else is speaking with my mouth, but I’m listening only to my heartI’ve made shoes ...

@chazro - Tend to agree with your assessment though in fairness, I've learned quite a bit from that thread AND their knowledge of the jazz universe (esp., O, Rok & Frogman) is certainly impressive.  My take on their "virtual neighborhood" as c... 
Best combo
No claim that this is best (or that identifying "best" is even possible) but am running a 6H30, EZ80-rectified  tube pre-amp (Consonance Reference 50) into a Merrill Audio Taranis power amp.  "Musical and powerful" are good adjectives for the soun...
