We lost a musical giant today. RIP Chick Corea and thank you for all your music.

Hi folks...it's been a long while since I've hopped on here to see what's cookin' and check out what you all have been up to :-) I see Joe has new monster MC1.25Ks monos and my faith is restored that the deep end of the shark pool is still alive and kicking :D:P In any case, a friend of mine...

Clean and attractively set up which makes for a pleasant shopping experience. They have their entire inventory on their webstore...

The guy can play the git-tar and sing! Not an...

Hey guys. One area of my vinyl library that is woefully and sadly underrepresented is Hendrix. I know a lot of the reissues that came out recently did not receive very good marks for sound quality, so any recos for specific well recorded good sounding albums. So looking for specific...

Hey folks...have any of you received the Indiegogo emails for this new digital streaming product platform from a new company called Nativ. Their product seems quite attractive (I think of it as a high-end Sonos) and it's called Vita. It comes with an 11.6" screen and you can have up to 4TB on...
