Takes one to know one
+1 onhwy61.  I think "Northern Lights Southern Cross" is my favorite.  The songwriting, musicianship and sound are all top notch.  They really got it all together for this one. 
Takes one to know one
Lawyers are expensive   Not as expensive as not having one.  When you don't get your royalty payments for two years, you ask for them nicely and if Capitol tells you to screw off, you get a good lawyer and sue them.  I wouldn't wait two years....

Robbie KNEW that would be the case, and knowingly tricked, manipulated, John Simon into signing away his future royalties for what he, Robertson, knew would be very little. I'm not defending Robbie in any way, but shouldn't someone in the music... 
Takes one to know one
IIRC, Robbie was married or seriously involved with someone during the Big Pink days.  He did not live at Big Pink.  This helped him remain more sober and grounded while the others, except Garth, were into excess of every kind.  Drugs, drink. wome... 
Does It have to be loud?
What we are missing once again is individual differences. We all hear differently. Women have more sensitive hearing, so Elizabeth may hear at 70 dbs what it takes some of us 90 dbs to hear. And women are not the only ones who may have better hear... 
Missing the new equipment 24 hour listing
It may have been missing temporarily.  New Today was right where it always was when  I opened Audiogon  a little while ago. 
Valves. Brimar Mazda ECC83 grey ladders plates NOS 1962-1972
The Brimar ECC 83 is the same type of tube as any other brand ECC 83.   The American designation for this tube is 12AX7.Brimars are good tubes but it is not possible to say how it will sound in your system.  lowrider57's description is about as cl... 
"RUSH" Vinyl remasters vs CD --Sound differences...OPINIONS?
The sound quality of remasters varies from title to title. Your Rush vinyl may be a badly pressed unit, which you may be able to exchange for a good one, or it could be the remastering.  Maybe they were trying to make it sound more analogy and wha... 
Jolida Fusion Preamp Guidance please
No, more tubes do not necessarily mean better sound.  The Fusion preamp appears to be an upgraded version of  the preamp/DAC, though.  So in this case it is likely that the 4 tube version sounds better than the 2 tube version.  I have read good th... 
Vintage tube suggestions
Now I remember markj, you didn’t like bass that the Gold Lions were giving you. I think you’ve got enough Mullards in your system. They are not known for tight bass.  Telefunkens or Amperex are considered to be pretty good in the bass and top qual... 
Vintage tube suggestions
markj, The smoothplate  Telefunkens usually sell for more, but many people think they sound the same.It would help a lot if you told us what preamp you have and what kind of sound you're looking for. 
Which tubes do I change??
It depends on the function of the tubes. The input or voltage gain tube is going to affect the sound more. I’d guess that is the 12AX7. The 12AT7 is probably a cathode follower (or something like that, someone correct me if I’m wrong). I am assumi... 
Be Careful!
Well, unless you have a sink and towel next to your system you will probably build up a charge walking from your bathroom to your stereo. 
Rare Willie Nelson album - trying to identify it
It sounds like it's a test pressing.  That's good.  In '76 he released "The Troublemaker" and "The Sound In your Mind."  Do you recognize any of the songs?

jetter, I think that changing capacitors or any other part except tubes would void the warranty.
