Audiophile grade country
just released this year & not particularly well recorded but not bad either...if you like alt-country...John Doe & the Sadies, Country Club...former X man & the great Sadies performing some real honkey tonk era classics

new this year...John Doe & the Sadies "Country Club"

What do you see as the downside of tubes?
