| RIP Jeff Beck Jeff Beck introduced me to many musicians I love today. Imelda May, Joss Stone and Tal Wilkenfeld, just to name a few. I will be forever in his debt. | |
| A free tweak revisited My stereo is my living room. I work nights and come home to a quiet, pitch black house and listen to music in the dark or with a little mood lighting. Every session is magical in it's own way and listening any other way for me is anticlimactic. So... | |
| Looking for a McIntosh amp that gives a great example of the “McIntosh Sound” I own the 162, 152 and a bunch of 252 amps. The MC252 in my opinion was one of Macs best SS amps.
