Line level interconnects for Velodyne DD15?

Neil Young - Like a Hurricane
Musicdoc- I hope you were able to catch another breath because I think you wasted the first one. Neil's been around long enough that, if someone doesn't have an appreciation by now, it's not likely to happen. "Pithy" one liner...I liked that. 
New Stones album on vinyl
You bought it from...? Thanks.
