Streaming vs Physical Media
@bkeske - I didn't know about that JGB from Club Front in 1990 - is that available on CD? I didn't see that on any of the Garcia Live series....  
Ridiculous sale
If somebody feels the amp is worth that much to them and they don't want to wait a year, seems perfectly reasonable to me...   
Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding
There are entire genres, like jazz, blues, and country, that do nothing for me; nothing wrong with them, of course - there are great artists in all these genres - or the people who love them, but not for me, and I'm not pleading for help or unders... 
New John Doe on vinyl
Thanks for that info - I'm a big fan of X and of John's stuff; I've seen him perform in San Francisco with the Sadies a few times, too...   
Comments re: MSB Director upgrade cost, additional hardware and cables
Yow! Think I'll stick with my MSB Analog DAC; can't do a Director upgrade on that anyway....

I've got a Herron Audio tube preamp going into an MSB S-200 power amp, and the sound is superb...

Best progressive rock album side
@morguldrelb - I got to see Camel play 3 nights in a row, 2 shows per night, at the Boarding House in San Francisco when they were touring on 'Moonmadness'. Beautiful music, they put out.....   
Why cuts into vinyl covers?
They are promos and the covers are disfigured in some way so that they cannot be returned to the record company as defective and get credit for it.   
Best progressive rock album side
@kacomess - somebody else who knows 'Pearls Before Swine'! I don't think I'd call them prog as much as Tom Rapp seemed more like the more surrealistic Dylan stuff. Their first album, 'One Nation Underground', is also excellent...  I'm a big fan o... 
Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding
I'm a Deadhead (among other fave genres) and have every one of their live box sets, but I can't understand why anybody would want to hear the studio versions of Grateful Dead songs. I once did, until I found out that that is not what that band is... 
Concerning high end audio names in new cars
If listening space has the most impact on sound, which most assert it does, doesn't seem like a car/truck/whatever would be a very good place for sound even with the best gear in the world, unless you just want to vibrate your surroundings with ba... 
Let’s share funny-stupid things we’ve done
@tksteingraber - you mean you're not supposed to do that?? I better replace my quarter with a nickel.   
Yep much to do about nothing. Fear brains.
@clearthinker - Yep, I can certainly agree with you on that, if not much else! 😀
