Greatest Rock Drummers
He's was not rock, but Buddy Rich was the greatest drummer who ever lived. He had 4 seperate brains. One connected to each arm, and one for each leg. He played seperate rythmic patterns with each appendage at the same time. I used to stay up late ... 
Done buying new vinyl
Used vinyl all the way. I have yet to hear a new release that sounded as good. Missing some magic. Somehow, they seem better at recording and mastering/pressing, in the 70, 80's, early 90's vinyl I buy. Check Discogs for mint and mint minus copies.

Speaker Suggestions for 300b SET Amp
Ditch the the lower octaves of bass, and let the 300b drive a medium efficiency speaker of your choice from 125-150 hz. On up. Do this by using a 4th order active xover unit, and subwoofer. I used a 300b amp with 89 db. Infinity Qb's with ribbon t...

For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp?
As the old adage goes: Garbage in, garbage out. I have found the preamplifier to have more influence on the sound than the power amp. A warm, dimensional, tube preamp, feeding a good solid state amp, works for me. 
Audiophiles should learn from people who created audio
Years ago, I went from generic 12 gauge speaker cable, to used Cardas Quadlink 5C, ( mostly bought on Audiogon), and was suprised that despite my preconceptions, cables do make a difference in sound. I have never desired to move up to more expensi...

Greatest Rock Drummers
Ian Paice of Deep Purple, Ginger Baker for his jazz flavored rock style. Travis Barker of Blink 182. Keith Moon, although the Who said he was great playing Who songs, but could not play anything else, I love his fills and rythm .Of course Neil Peart. 
A new Question: Moving Magnet Cartridge To Compliment My Rock Collection
My record collection is 95% rock. Classic and other. I have always loved Goldring 1022 gx. Even better than the more expensive 1042. It has plenty of grunt for rock. Higher output, slight warmth that emphasizes the bass region a little, and a gorg...
