Anyone here been to the sphere in LV? Is it everything it's marketed to be?

Absolutely, with AIC's actual dead fly variant of Jar of Flies being the most absurd I know of to date. They should have taken all that marketing capital and repressed 3 leg on vinyl instead. But, I'm just one person with an opinion.

Well aware of that, and grateful. Just didn't know if they were one of the shop owners or just receive a lot of listserv mail/etc.

Wouldn't have been this album, rather their debut and follow-up... but 311 played all the time at my alma matter in Lincoln, NE. They had an extremely strong following in Omaha, and would do regular shows on campus each year as well as small(er) clubs in town. This was before the move to CA, so...

Always meant to ask this and never have strangely until NOW. So, how did this thread originate? In other words, do some of you own record shops, or are you just on a boatload of mailing lists? Always curious how this "inside" information is available, especially when I haven't heard of 70% of...

Would have been able to direct you but didn't see your message until after the fact. Enjoy the magic.

Stick to miUSA kit these days so I have no experience with Luxman. But even though Bryston is CAN, I DO like them. I don't mean that in a post-tariff sort of way, either. I liked Bryston long before the stupid CAN/USA battle. And I just like CAN, period. Beautiful area, and a damn shame what...

It's honestly the reason I gave up on VPI. Incredible products, deplorable service.

Exciting to see some 90's favorites finally getting a proper vinyl treatment. My short list as of this moment: Toad the Wet Sprocket STP Better Than Ezra Dolores O' Riordan And maybe the Rage live and Postie Nirvana tribute, the latter of which was surprisingly incredible all things considered.

Me, too, but I'm too cheap to let that many tubes steal my net metered surplus.

January 31: May the Force Be with You – The Force is an energy field that surrounds and penetrates all living things, binding the galaxy together. Play an artist whose energy has been highly influential. Foo Fighters - Wasting Light Grohl is the Energizer bunny, of that much I'm certain.

NIRVANA... well, sort of

That's amazing, but I sure am glad I don't pay your electric bill. ;)

Picked up some 40's NOS Sylvania 6SN7WGT brown base matched pairs last week and they're really bringing new life to my Freya+ :cool:

January 30: Skeleton Crew – Spin a young artist! NF - Perception I'm in my fifties so while he's not necessarily a teenager, he could be my son. That qualifies, no?

January 29: Endor Serenity – Folk music day! Damien Rice - Live at Fingerprints: Warts and All

January 28: A Galaxy Far, Far Away – Choose something that is not from your country. Kent - Isola

January 27: The Resistance – Play a genre you resisted to, but ended up appreciating. The Crane Wives - Coyote Stories / Foxlore I resisted Folk for quite some time and then Damien Rice blew it open for me, in terms of Folk/Americana/Singer-Songwriter. From there, I've still been selective...

January 26: Secrets of the Sith – Play an album with a hidden track Toad the Wet Sprocket - Coil (hidden track: Silo Lullaby)
