I've attended 500+ concerts, and the sexually charged atmosphere at a Sade concert is beyond comparison.   
Steve Morse pays tribute to Jeff beck
@stuartk  Thanks for that! I was fortunate to have seen The Dregs in 1978 and the most recent reunion tour in 2018. I have a couple of friends who lived in Macon in the 1970's and got to see them in local bars before they signed with Capricorn Re... 
Integrated amp for Legacy Focus speakers
@kevinshunt Separates might be the way to go. Your $6K max budget could net something like this* (all 3 components listed below are currently available @ The Music Room, who offers "buy it - try it," even on used gear): AMP: SPREAD SPECTRUM TECHN...

Looking for a new Subwoofer

What is your "holy grail song" that you cannot find?
@ozzy , check out the website for Culture Factory Records. Around 10 years ago they released remastered CD's of the first 4 Rod Stewart solo albums. I have all 4 of them and they sound very good (96 Kz - 24 bit). An extra bonus is that they use a ... 
What is your "holy grail song" that you cannot find?
@garebear , a friend of mine confirms that there is a studio ("demo") version of George Harrison performing "It Don't Come Easy." He also confirmed that it was never commercially released; so, finding it on a bootleg (which is what he has) looks l... 
What is your "holy grail song" that you cannot find?
@rockysantoro , There a couple of best of John Stewart cd's on Amazon. One is called "Gold" and the other is called "Turning Music Into Gold." Both appear to have most of the songs from "Bombs Away Dream Babies," which was a very good album.
