| AUDIO RESEARCH VS VTL Customer service from VTL is an oxy moron, they do sound better than AR to my ears though. Enjoy the music | |
| Getting into Stevie Ray Vaughn A real cool one would be the recording he made with Albert King, I have it on CD and it is quite nice. Also do not overlook David Bowies/Lets Dance album which Stevie plays lead all the way through. Enjoy the music | |
