Long live Rock? 2022 R&R HOF
@czarivey - what are 'recording industry artists' as opposed to others? How are you hearing this music to explore if the artists are not recording it? Seems to me that if you're recording your music and getting it released, you're a 'recording ind... 
Audiogon is becoming the hub for scammers.
@jim5559 - No shortage of crooks here, that's for sure, but that's kind of a blanket generalization for a place with 350 million people, dontcha think? I've always bought and sold in the US and have had no negative experiences.   
Happy Birthday Bob Marley
I'm a big fan of roots and dub, primarily, though I also like toasting/DJ and Jamaican dancehall music as well.... Good vibes indeed, or serious discussion - great stuff!  What a shame Peter Tosh is no longer with us - he COULD 'advertise it' now... 
Happy Birthday Bob Marley
Reggae is a great genre of music, and Bob Marley did more to popularize it than anybody else; I just wish more people would explore reggae beyond just Bob and the brilliant Harder They Come soundtrack. So many sub-genres of reggae.... Also wish I ... 
Supper's Ready
@sbank - Yeah, Musical Box are great! I've seen them do 'The Lamb' and also the set from the 'Foxtrot' tour, which was a treat for me as I saw Genesis on that tour in 1973! Deja vu all over again, as the Yoge said....   
What Is So Special About Harbeth?
I had Harbeth Super HL-5's for about 7 or 8 years; they are wonderful speakers with a great mid-range and treble; if you want bass, a sub-woofer would be recommended. I think they're best for jazz, classical, and more acoustic music. I'm a rocker,... 
What does the word audiogon even mean?
It means whatever you want it to mean....   
DACs and more. Is there a good analog sounding DAC.
I would also say that for a more 'analog' sounding DAC, look into the various R2R options out there (I've got a Holo May DAC myself, and it's wonderful)....   
Supper's Ready
@simonmoon - that is very cool! I'm familiar with Moby Disc, though we didn't have that up here in San Francisco, where I've lived since '73. In the '74-'76 era, one of the big stations in San Jose, KOME, was all prog, all the time - it was brilli... 
Highend tube preamp w/no headphone jack - help I wanna get a pair of phones
@soix - Totally agree - I used a Quicksilver Headphone amp for about 6 months before I replaced it with an Eddie Current Studio B; that Quicksilver, for under $1000, is a GREAT DEAL!!!!   
GO CHIEFS !!
They went.   
Ripping CDs to Hard Drive and Live Recordings
I agree - that stuff CAN be annoying. I often have to go into iTunes and rename album or song titles, or artists's names...  
Books!
Books are 95% crap? With all due respect, that might win the prize for the most absurd blanket statement about anything that I've ever heard.   
Tiny Room (6' x 9') speaker advice
Check out the website for Fritz Speakers; the sound they produce is amazing for such small speakers, and they actually can put out bass you can feel, and they're around the price range you are looking at. I believe he's got a trial period as well.... 
Highend tube preamp w/no headphone jack - help I wanna get a pair of phones
You should at least look into a real headphone amp; what kind of budget would you be looking at?
