| Band/artist documentaries. Gimme Shelter (1970) about the Rolling Stones Altamont free concert of which one of the mistakes made was having the Hells Angels in charge of security. @immatthewj The Grateful Dead’s “New Speedway Boogie” was written as a response to that con... | |

| Beginner in the Audiophile World – Looking for Streamer & Streaming Service Advice I have installed VB-Audio cable and route that through HQ Player Desktop with great results. It's not complicated at all . If you use NAA, you can do the same and there is no need for 2 streamers. I was unaware of this; this is very cool -- tha... | |

Be aware that if you install HQPlayer NAA... | |

| Why do I have to prove I am a human, every time I refresh a page on this site ? I’ve noticed I’m asked to prove my humanity on Audiogon whenever I’m browsing while outside the United States. It is annoying. Can’t you just set a session cookie after presenting the challenge the first time? | |
| Favorite Albums Not in the Mainstream Found on Streaming Services @jsalerno277 Oops... I misread your post to be asking for favorite albums not in the mainstream and also not on streaming services... As far as I know, Buckingham Nicks was never released in any digital form. I know there are at least two rips fro... | |

| a rant @curiousjim I built the Hafler kits, DH220 and accompanying preamp. Great value for the money and time spent. It was definitely Class AB, with the huge MOSFET transistors and enormous heat sinks. I used the pair in one system or another for 40 yea... |
