| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? marqmike, Traffic was a British band. At least Winwood was British. whart, on what basis do you say that The Band was not an American band? I generally consider Canada to be American. Maybe "American" just means U.S.A.? That would take The Band ou... | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? It seems like everyone (me included) is just naming good bands. The OT was about the 'greatest' American band. Most of the bands named are really good but few of them rate anywhere near 'greatest'. No one will agree on one greatest, obviously........ | |
| Mild hum/buzz preamp issue? I'm new to hifi so I can't help...but here is a stupid question: Is the hum coming from one of the components or through the speakers? Apologies if I missed that. I have a tuner that hums but it is a mechanical hum from the unit, not through the s... | |
| Little-known Gems Both of them are still around. They did an interview with Dan Rather on the Big Interview. It was a good interview.I have never liked Dan Rather...but he has done a superb job with his show The Big Interview. It is mostly with musicians and perfor... | |
| Power conditioner or outlet? My ears are not good enough to worry about power sources and power cords but I have lost some moderately expensive gear (big TV, home theater system) to a lightning strike that did not even hit my house (but close by).How does one protect high end... | |
| Little-known Gems Thanks for the tip. Will look into it. How is the production quality of the CD? | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? Steve, the topic is American bands. U2 appropriated an American feel....but Tull could hardly be more British. | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? I just thought of R.E.M. Hugely successful, unique, totally, completely and inescapably American.They're one of my favorite bands. I can't speak for their concerts after they got big but I saw them right after they released Life's Rich Pageant. Be... | |
| New iMac, no more Optical out! Help with DAC, best bang for buck? I'm running USB from an old iMac into a Schiit Modi 2 Uber then into my line stage. I'm generally happy with it. I got it for $110 used. | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? tubegroover, you're right of course. And it isn't a competition. If it was, and sales was the issue, then it would be Michael Jackson....The Eagles are second and fifth place goes to.....Meat Loaf! If it was purely influence it would probably be ... | |

The total of my experience consists of sorbothane, walnut and MDF.In fact,... | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? bdp24, not targeting you at all. Several people included individuals including me. It’s just a different discussion if we’re talking about individual singer/songwriters verses cohesive band units. Agree with you completely in regard to The Band.to... | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? There are individuals being mentioned. I think the OP specified a band. Sometimes a fine line. If individuals are included it would be hard to top Elvis and Dylan.Another band worth mentioning was Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. I'd put them righ... | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? I think The Band would qualify as "American". Rush too. And if Rush isn't rock and roll I don't know what they are. Yes, prog rock, but that's a pretty big, impressive and influential genre of rock. But no, not American roots rock.Of course Grand ... | |
| Alabama Shakes uberwaltz, don't dismiss the vinyl on my account. The info I have relates only to DR, which doesn't entirely account for SQslaw, do you have Sound and Color on vinyl and if so what is your impression? |
