How to get the impact of a live concert?
Ralph - Thank you for that explanation. Every time I read one of your technical posts I want to rush out and buy one of your amplifiers. Some day that just might happen! 
Best beer
Recently had a La Trappe Quadruple on draft at a Belgian beer garden, Victoire, in Rochester, NY. Very tasty. 
R.I.P. Andy Williams
I never liked the kind of music he sang, especially when sung by his peers. But every time he appeared on TV I was glued to the set. I found his voice very appealing and always enjoyed his performances. 
When was the last time you listened to live music?
+1 Elizabeth.Got all excited about a bluegrass performance at local, historic, small theater (seats maybe 200?). Sitting in a back row I easily conversed with two of the performers on stage at normal volume. Once the show started they fired up the...

Modern day female jazz recommendations
Karrin Allyson (my latest female obssession outside of my wife). Check out "Ballads: Remembering John Coltrane" for straight jazz songs, and "Imagina" for Brazil/Bossa Nova songs. Both are to die for. 
The Best Compliment You've Gotten On Your Rig?
Most people see the tubes and say, "cool, look at those relics!", as they lean over to touch them. Discouraged quickly by my growl and Sicilian "evil eye". Nearly all are uninterested in listening to my system. And the handful I can get to sit sti...
