Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade
Yeah when the 5a comes down in price used I will part with my Sig 3a / Velodyne combo. The 5a is an amazing speaker,I mean it's the same analogy when I was shopping for a tonearm. People I talked to said the Phantom 2 is amazing they told me,found...

The New Cream re-issues
Yes there is a Steve Hoffman DCC pressing and they sell for close to 200 on flee bay sealed.I have never heard one though. To my dismay the re issue is the English import set of songs which omits one of my favorite Cream songs I Feel Free.

Odd rock trivia-Who knew?
I went to school with the SAC bassist's brother. We had homeroom together,poor kid had the worst case of sinus allergies I ever saw,honestly I don't know how he delt with it. Now a days he probably takes a pill for it but back in the 60's you just...
