Accordian licks
David Hidalgo of Los Lobos! He also played accordion (great contribution to the sound) on Dylan's Together Through Life. 
Suggestions? Tubed linestage pre-amp??
Hey Jafox - I didn't think about the CJ not being tube rectified (I believe I am correct on this and that this is your point) whereas the JAS Bravo and the Consonance Ref 50 are (the Ref 50 uses an EZ80). I'll look around for some Amperex and see ... 
Suggestions? Tubed linestage pre-amp??
An update...In October, I had the opportunity to audition a JAS Bravo 1.1LE. This has a separate power supply and uses 12AX7 & 12AT7 tubes + a 5Z4P rectifier. This pre brought very nice musicality...a full, warm sound but seemed to give up too... 
What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
Hey Pokey - Listening to Band of Horses on Spotify...Cease to Begin. Their name seems familiar (maybe you mentioned them previously). They've probably been around for a decade or more and I'm just catching on. Getting to be a misanthropic CRANK in...

Best Cartridge for technics sl1200mk2
Check out posts by Johnnyb53...he's written a fair amount about carts for the SL1210. Would think they'd apply. Personally just been running mod'd. Stantons/Pickerings from KAB. Played those through a Lehman Black Cube and now with Heed Quasar pho...

Speaker Set Up...Math/Geometry Experts Please Help
Lindisfarne - you've been around here a long time and you ask THAT question!? :-) 
R. I. P. Jack Bruce
Sad news indeed. A gifted musician. Cream reunion, "Live at the Royal Albert Hall", serves as a great memorial. 
OSX Yosemite Upgrade and DAC Malfunction
Sorry to hear the problem, Hsimon. I've delayed installing Yosemite and no real help for you. Have you tried calling Esoteric OR posting on one of the MBA boards? Hope you get some input more useful than mine. I'll be following this topic. Thanks ... 
Like a Rolling Stone - Looking for great live Dylan
Geoff- I do tend to like later Dylan more than early. I came "of age" in that era but I'm not that fond of folk music....there are exceptions. For me Desire/Blood on the Tracks is sort of a dividing line in Dylan's work. though there are certainly... 
Like a Rolling Stone - Looking for great live Dylan
Thanks guys. Czarivey - Sorry. Probably not gonna spend $22 for a 45. On the other hand, it does come with a T shirt. 
Similar sounding bands.
Geoff - Good call. Black Crowes & Stones similarity - that I can absolutely hear. BUT I'll see your Stones and raise you a Humble Pie with Chris R. absolutely channeling Steve Marriott. Leastways in the first couple of LPs.Hey Marty - I respec...
