Klyne with Clayton or Berning?
I use a modified Klyne 5A that Stan modified himself as my phono stage. I run it into my Adcom 750 and it sounds just fine. When I finaly get a pair of VTL Mono blocks I'll break out my VTL Ultimate pre amp and run the Kyne through it. The Klyne i...

One band you might have over missed was Silverhead, Micheal Des Barres Band. Lets not forget Alice Cooper too who was on Jonsey's juke box today. He has to be in there too.
