Hey U. - I only just found/tried Redemption on Tidal. Liking it. w/r to Frampton, do you know his studio album that came out before Comes Alive? Link here to it on Amazon. Excellent, excellent. Solid songwriting throughout. Worth a listen if you d...

Joe Bonamassa - RedemptionIt’s got a few interesting and enjoyable tips of the hat to Led Zeppelin. Beyond that, JB keeps finding ways to keep that blooz-rock thang fresh.  
Favorite band or artist of all time?
@bdp24 So often you contribute much by way of informed music criticism and great knowledge of popular music history. There are just sometimes, however, a point you make has to be contested; in this case, "...lyrics of little interest". If these be...

The Sea and Cake - Any DayNew to me though the band is not.  Like their roots.  Found it on Spotify but not Tidal.  Lemme know if you do.    
That "Wow" Moment!
Similar "nailed to the floor" experience walking into a shop and hearing Metheny’s "Wichita Falls" years ago.  It had just been released.  First time for me hearing Metheny or Lyle Mays not to mention the album. Subsequently saw them at McCarter T...

power cord
Definitely consider a Shunyata Venom HC power cord.  20 amp IEC plug termination seems to be all that's available now.  $175 for 6 feet new from Music Direct or The Cable Co.  Well worth it though you'll need a 20 amp cable to 15 amp IEC converter...

FWIW - Sensai Pass attributes "the first watt is the most important watt" comment to Dick Olsher. From NP’s introduction to his First Watt company...http://www.firstwatt.com/ "Dick Olsher famously remarked that 'The first watt is the most importan...

Power Uber Alles ?
My experience doesn't support "power uber alles" which is not to say big watts don't have a place.  I've got a Merrill Taranis, and Hegel H200 which are each spec'd at 200 or more wpc.  I enjoy listening to these driving Totem Forest or Silverline...
