Engelbert?
Englebert AND Jimi were on the same bill during the years promotors did those "showcase" events.I believe Jimi also did one with the Monkees? 
Review: Schiit Mani phono pre AND Swagman Labs Linear Power Supply (LPS)
I had that piece of Schiit, while my tubed phono stage was being repaired.Not bad, for the money. I would have never thought and LPS would make much of an audible difference.Perfect for pairing with a budget table/system.

Manley Chinook question

R.I.P Glen Campbell
rar1- cool link.Glen was typical of a rock or country guitar hotshot. Didn’t read music and would just have to hear one pass of a tune, then he was able to contribute to the piece.Just about all the R&R gods-Beck,Page, Townsend,Richards...etc....

R.I.P Glen Campbell
I played my copy of "Witchita Lineman" last night,That title track really has everything that all great songs have-a story you can picture in your mind and music that sets the mood. The string section is so fitting, and appropriate for the story. ... 
Sarah Vaughan....Best Performances and Recordings
dodgealum-took a peek at your system. Clearly, a well thought out setup. What is that gizmo for the VPI?I use a Classic/ART9-tube phono, and have the bug for the Prime.
