Trove of Master Tapes from 1960's and 70's
Glad to hear they're in good hands.  The David Ball/ Uncle Walt's Band article was a good read too.  Good music that never fit into a category. 
I'm a beginner

Great New Linda Ronstadt Live
$20 for the vinyl. This is a late Christmas present from Linda.  Don't pass it up. 
Great New Linda Ronstadt Live
This album is back in stock at amazon for $10.  That's a deal no one should pass up, unless you can't stand Linda Ronstadt.

Do any of your Rolling Stones recordings bring "Satisfaction"?
I have all the 2002 Stones Abkco SACD/Hybrids and the CD layer sounds ok. I guess I will have to buy a SACD Player to hear the difference on the SACD layer. Just adding an SACD player will probably not do a lot for your sound.  On most systems ... 
The best music in 2019
bdp24, Yeah, Rosie is really cool. I wish I’d seen her many times, especially out by Joshua Tree. Unless you really dislike blues, you'll like her new one.

Will technology make records obsolete one day?
millercarbon, digital (streaming, cd, dvd, sacd, downloads) were 96.4% of music revenues in 2018.  That's a long way from being obsolete.  My CDs, HDCDs and SACDs still play just fine and not a single digit has been lost to wear, no matter how man... 
Martin Logan Vantage vs. Summit / Summit X / Montis
jvitez, I agree.  MLs need a stout amp to come alive. 
Will technology make records obsolete one day?
Here is the data for the US from the RIAA. Although the trends are clear, it won’t change anyone’s mind and I’m not trying to do that.From 2016 to 2017 Lp units shipped increased 5.3% http://www.riaa.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/RIAA-Year-End-20... 
Martin Logan Vantage vs. Summit / Summit X / Montis
I’m a little surprised about the response too. I think everyone is arguing about climate change, class D amps or cables. Are you familiar with the Martin Logan Owners website? You might get a better response there.I’m selling the Summit Xs because... 
Will technology make records obsolete one day?
Digital will continue to improve steadily and at some point will surpass the sound quality of vinyl for all but the most dedicated vinyl fans.  I don't know when vinyl records will stop being produced, but they will someday.  Digital recording has... 
Martin Logan Vantage vs. Summit / Summit X / Montis
Warning!: I have a pair of Summit X up for sale.amansker, I have not heard the Vantages so I don’t know how much help I can be. The Summit X has a -3db point of 24 Hz, so they do bass pretty well. Their 2 10 inch powered woofers per speaker will g...
