| Best Used Tube Based Preamp $2k Or Under? @nightfall - I've been following your query/thread with interest because a while back I was also looking for a tube pre-amp, with remote for $2000. If I may, I'd recommend either an ARC LS15, or a Sonic Frontiers Linestage 1 or 2. Both come wit... | |
| R2R next? Don't like ESS @martinman -Having owned and a number of ES chipset DACs in the past, and been disappointed by the sound, I gave the ES chipset one more go and purchased the LKS MH-DA005, based on rave reviews by many A'gon members. It's an end-game DAC, and with... | |
| Congratulations to Gillian Welch and David Rawlings! They also won for "All the Good Times." They are playing Carnegie Hall, in May. I will be there. | |
| Here's a really, really great video on Richard Manuel (and oh yeah, The Band). @bdp24 "But he no longer has to do the manual labour." Someone else puts his wrestling mask on his face? | |
| Here's a really, really great video on Richard Manuel (and oh yeah, The Band). @bdp24 You're still a young man! Cleanish living and you definitely got your exercise. Now, the gym has replaced working-man-full-body-workouts. Doing pretty well, myself, at 72. Saw The Flag at Cafe Au Go Go in Winter, 1968. Rumors were Hendr... | |
| Here's a really, really great video on Richard Manuel (and oh yeah, The Band). @bdp24 - "The debut Paul Butterfield Blues Band album was the first "real" Blues music I heard." We must be close in age because my friends and I had a similar experience. I was a nascent guitarist who was totally bowled over by Mike Bloomfield’... | |
| Here's a really, really great video on Richard Manuel (and oh yeah, The Band). @bdp24 So many musicians used heroin. Both Stan Getz and Philly Jo Jones said they used heroin because it gave them the energy they needed to cope with the demands of playing. Robbie Robertson says Richard, Rick and Levon’s heroin use is one of... | |
| Here's a really, really great video on Richard Manuel (and oh yeah, The Band). @bdp24 Thanks for posting the video. The Band will always be one of my favorites. Every week I listen to one of their first two records. In the book about The Band, "Across the Great Divide," Robbie Robertson says when he wrote "The Shape I'm I... | |

| Woodstock 1969, or 1967? @bdp24 - Not often NRBQ gets a shout-out on A'gon. Underappreciated. | |
| Marianne Faithfull RIP. Faithfull’s avatar had to have been a cat...she lived nine lives. With Hal Wilner producing her, she released memorable albums. | |
| Favorite Cover Album @immatthewj - I need new glasses, or I'm becoming Emily Litella. I was starting to post the COVER of the Dead album Aoxomoxoa. Now that I've escaped this embarrassment--"never mind." @wharfy , now I don't feel so bad. LOL...my mama always t... | |
| Bob Perkins dead at 91 Sorry to hear of his passing. I discovered him via the internet and would listen to him, here in NJ. He is very similar to another Bob-Bob Porter, who was on WBGO, and left us in 2021. https://www.wbgo.org/music/2021-04-10/bob-porter-eminent-prod... | |
