Greatest Rock Drummers
Always interesting to hear the opinions of others. In the mid seventies when Derek and the Dominoes was in heavy rotation on the turntables of myself and 2 good friends, we loved that record, but often complained about Jim Gordon's lackluster play...

I will have to respectfully disagree about Alan White. I believe that Yes made a huge mistake when they brought him on board after Bill Bruford left. Very disappointing in recorded material as well as live performances.

Well Matt, here we go again making music into a contest. Can't we say that there are many great talents, each with a different style? You love Jon Bonham for example, and I think that he was a perfect fit for Led Zeppelin, but he'd be a terrible f... 
PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!!
I find it strange that the OP has not jumped in to clarify or defend himself. This sometimes is the sign of a troll.

I saw Carl Palmer perform live 2 weeks ago, and he is simply amazing. All of the power and precision he is known for is still there. He is trying to get together a more complete band. Presently he has only a young guitarist and a young bassist. He...

Jupiters would be a better choice.

Newest Aqusition, McIntosh MA6600 Integrated
Many people like to trash Mac gear, as they will any big easy target. Some have technical reasons, and others are just saying they're outdated designs etc. I have owned several of their amps and have a 2105 I will keep forever along with 2 other a... 
$100,000 line stage
inna,I'm surprised at your comment. It is silly. Why would only one type of component justify a high price?  
What Is The Cost Of Amplifier Casework?
georgehifi,You said something that so many others have said, and I must disagree. For many years I have had my equipment rack between my speakers, and imaging etc. has never suffered for it. And yes, I have tried it the other way too with no notic... 
What Is The Cost Of Amplifier Casework?
Once I read 30%, which could be true, but it would vary greatly based on how fancy it is. Jeff Rowland may be at the top, and Van Alstine at the bottom.
