Greatest Rock Drummers
Any list regarding "great drummers" needs to include Steve Ferrone. 
Are the folks at Vandersteen ok?
Here's my recent Vandersteen story....I bought a pair of Vandersteen model 3 for a very low price. The seller told me they had a problem, but the price was right and I could part them out for much more than I paid for them. I listened to the speak... 
Wow. Tidal now has Internet radio in USA
@dlcockrum - well that $ucks. I'm guessing RP may be the most popular internet radio station in existence. It certainly is with the music fans I know. 
Wow. Tidal now has Internet radio in USA
My favorite internet radio station is Radio Paradise. It has a great eclectic mix of music, most rock, alt rock, etc, but also some jazz, classical blues electronic, etc. They stream at 320kbps and it sounds great. 
Underspent on speakers relative to overall system?
I have 3 pair of great sounding vintage speakers. All 3 combined cost me half of what I paid for my CD player/DAC and half of what I paid for my integrated amp. If you're happy with the sound, it doesn't matter what each category of component cost... 
Your last concert was to see who and when?
@tom6897 - I missed that show. But, I do love The Fraze. It is my favorite outdoor venue, by a wide margin. I've seen many great shows there, including a few this summer.Enjoy!

Whats playing on your system today?
@nutty - Great story and review. I was at Southgate House Revival the night before to see dada and The Trews. That was a rockin' show for sure. I think there might have been 150 people in the sanctuary room. We all got our money's worth. 
Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening
Steven,There have already been some very good recommendations. Now, I don't want to rain on the parade, but until you find out what kind of space the system is going to be used in, this is all pretty pointless. Doing your homework in advance is va...

Your last concert was to see who and when?
I saw U2 again last night at Lucas Oil Field in Indianapolis for the second leg of the Joshua Tree Anniversary Tour. Another great U2 show! Beck was the opening act, He and his band played a great set. Really good. I would love to see them as head...

The Trews 
Your last concert was to see who and when?
I saw dada last night at Southgate House Revival in Newport, KY. Great show. In my book, dada is the best band that never made it big.The Trews opened up for dada. The Trews were awesome! I had never heard of this band. Now I'm a big fan. Interest...
