Lucinda Williams Fans?
I love that tortured soul!The first time I saw her was at least 13 years ago in a small club on South Beach where she opened for Joe Ely. I had never heard of either one. A kick-ass show and I've been a big fan of both since then.Last time I saw h...

My CEC TL-1X and Audio Logic 24MXL DAC sound great for CD, but it's still not vinyl. I like my CD's a lot now, but I love my vinyl.
