@mammothguy54  - I bought my NM/NM- copy of Danny and the Fat Boys - "American Music" two weeks ago for $40. It is a fantastic album overall, although I don't love the first 2 selections on the first side. They are not bad, they are just a style/g... 
Eva Cassiday Blew Me Away with her cover of Wayfaring Stranger....
So "Live At Blues Alley", and the extended version "Night Bird" are incredibly good records and captured an incredible moment in time. If you are interested in Eva Cassidy and the live session, check out the documentary linked below:

@j_husker  - Congrats on the vintage Kenwood TT. I've always wanted one of the Kenwood "The Rock" turntables since I first saw one in the early '80s. There is a guy locally who has a kd-550 he may want to sale. I really should go take a look at it...

Arrived today... Robbie Robertson - "How to Become Clairvoyant"  
Recommendation for replacement of Freya +
@carlsbad  But my guess is you've thinking of your kids watching TV 20 hours a day.   That was my primary concern. @blkwrxwgn  My other concern about tubes was the mention of a tube integrated amp. If it has tubes in the amp section, they do... 
Recommendation for replacement of Freya +
If it were me (it's not), I would not want my tubes being powered-up when listening to HT (which could be often, depending on your (you're families) watching habits. A great, but not inexpensive, option might be a Backert Labs Rhumba 1.3 pre-amp....

Anyone got a modern version of "Who's Next" that you can recommend? I think finding a clean original copy, at a reasonable price, might be difficult. Any to avoid?  
Whats playing on your system today?
@ozzy - "Amused to Death" is a concept album. I don't think any of the individual tracks hold up on their own. However, played in its entirety, in one sitting, it hold up pretty well. But only if you like it. Some/many won't. I like it, but it's n... 
Desktop single-driver speakers?
@o_holter  - I've been enjoying a pair of John Blue JB-3 speakers on my desktop for several years. Currently powered by a little NuForce Icon integrated amp/DAC. They are very nice for nearfield listening. And they have excellent build quality. I ...

Kansas - "Monolith"  
Recommendation for replacement of Freya +
@blkwrxwgn - If you're hoping for great sound quality for 2-channel listening, I think you will be disappointed with the P6. It is feature rich, however ultimately sound quality is not it's forte. Have you exhausted all of your troubleshooting of...

@whatsaftumch  - Welcome to the Best Thread on AudiogoN! You've posted some great stuff! I bought Lloyd Cole & The Commotions - "Rattlesnakes" on CD when it was first released. Was one of my first CDs, after XTC - "English Settlement". Always...

@sbank - Hey Spencer. I'd never heard of the "Naked" remix of "Let it Be". Had to goggle it and read the Wiki page. I'll give it a shot via streaming... Thanks, and Happy Weekend...

@dayglow  - I love "Eyes of Silver" and "Down in the Track". "Another Park, Another Sunday" ain't bad either. Oh, and closing with "Flying Cloud" is brilliant too.. Happy Weekend!
