It takes courage to try these gems again, but Mr. Schenker pulls it off.

Steven Wilson - Hand. Cannot. Erase. Deluxe version of this release with serious guitar work on some tracks by Guthrie Govan.

While my wife and I did not listen to every system in every room, we did spend a ton of time and hit a bunch of systems over the four days of the event. To our ears and trying to keep this list very short for our favorites, we liked the MBL room (as Mike suggests above), felt that the darTZeel...

Alice In Chains - Dirt 30th Deluxe Box 30+ Years later and this magnum opus still delivers....in spades.

Jeff Beck passed away today. Sigh. He was my favorite guitarist of all time and his brilliance as a player and innovator on the instrument along with his music has provided me with a lifetime of musical happiness. There will not be another like him any time soon. I think the best way for...

A super delxue of this underrated gem. Black Sabbath - Sabotage

I just heard about the upcoming rev of the M400 monoblock amplifiers. MOMENTUM M400MxV MONOBLOCK AMPLIFIER | Dan Dagostino amplifiers I was told it will be $10,000 a channel for an upgrade from M400 to M400MxV or $80,000 for a new pair outright. If this revision is anything like the...

Remembering the Green Man. 9 Years gone... Type O Negative - Bloody Kisses

17 Years Gone... Remembering Layne today. Alice in Chains - Music Bank

If you saw the early pictures of Dan's new upcoming monster amp, you might pass out as my wife and I almost did (i.e., what a beauty!), but we are only able to share with you a picture of the meter (thank you Bill from D'Agostino). To put it into perspective: Meter is Approximately 7" in...

I am sorry that I don't have a picture of this configuration (I am sure I will eventually see one out there from the event and will add it here), but I had to put a short blurb on it as I didn't even know that it was supported/available. My wife an I went to "Music Matters" event in Seattle...

Unfortunately IMHO it is becoming harder to find truly exceptional customer service with any vendor or in any walk of life here in the USA. While there are certainly exceptions, the current trend appears that the continual degeneration of said “customer service” is showing no signs of slowing...
