    I guess I'm going to have to get that S/A dvd. I've been in a real heavy rock place lately not sure why as I usually am more blues oriented or what would be the ever widening classification of "pop". I hate that term, but alot of good soft rock is put in there. However as I said its prog rock time and Porcupine Tree is this evenings fare.

    Well I have listen to the S&A DVD a lot more and it is OK as far as SQ is concerned. Bass seems too heavy and I can hear some clipping at times, probably compression too The good news is that the material is awesome, but the SQ is OK. Its SQ is better than "Vapor Trails" tho

    Just got home from doing some golfing.....just a couple of hours, par-course, 9 holes, plus breakfast.....

    Decided to play something I have not played in a while, and never on the Sierras...Lyle Lovett "Joshua Judges Ruth".

    Also, got Joan Osborne "Breakfast in Bed".

    Great stuff!

    Dear Ascend Community,

    After lurking, and then buying a set of Sierras (L/C/R) in June, here are the CDs (in alpha order) that I have listened to the most during the past 3 months:

    Chet Baker - in New York
    Ray Charles - Genius Loves Company
    Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited
    James Hunter - People Gonna Talk
    Howlin' Wolf - London Sessions
    Frank Zappa - Shut Up and Play Yer Guitar

    But as the high holy day of September 19 draws nearer, I must devote my time to my Pastafari Ministry.

    May you be touched by his noodily appendage.

    Arrrrrrrrgh........

    Ecks

    Finally reissued Travveling Wilburys 2 cd, 1dvd set, plus bonus tracks.
    I have been waiting for this for awhile, and it is finally here. My original copies are in bad shape. All the used copies I have seen have been outragously priced.

    It is still hard for me to believe that Roy Orbison, and George Harrison are no longer with us. At least we still have there fabulous music. Thanks Roy,and George.

    Saw Rush last night here in town and man what a great show! I expected as much. Anyway, I spent the majority of my day listening to all their older material.........Hemispheres, Farewell to kings, 2112 and Permanent Waves. Man I wish these were available in multi-channel
