if you can find it, 5/11/78 might be the best show i've heard (yes, i like it better than 5/8/77, 8/27/72, 2/13-14/70). best LL>Supplication ever, monster Scarlet / Fire & Jerry going apeshit on Werewolves of London.  
Is my CSNY De Ja Vu a bad pressing, or lost cause?
is there any decent CD version? 
I am somewhat amazed that there is no thread dealing with Star Sound Tech's devices
i’ll simply offer that SS platforms are unique in their setup. no other product allows the user to easily distribute the footer to component relationship whereby the component weight can be easily distributed entirely in the vertical plane with ze...

also, the OOP 5 show box set from May 77 is a no brainer. other than being OOP of course.  but lately i've been head over heels w/ mydland shows: releases like "nightfall" (amazing) and "wake up to find out" (also awesome) and an 87 bootleg from M... 
Dan Hicks has passed away.

Plethora of Schumann Resonance Devices
ignore the haters. i bought an 888 on a lark and it worked but not as much as you describe. then i bought a $100 ebay linear power supply for it from china and its performance was 2x (at least), and now its indispensible. ---reports of greatly imp... 
Speakers that are very accurate sounding but don't produce an emotional connection.
there is no lifeless speaker without a lousy amp close by 
Star Sound Apprentice platforms
i've had terrific results w/ the Apprentice 103 under digital. the key is the setup: the elegant and thoughtful design allows the user to orient the 3 points in such a manner that the weight of the component is equally distributed in a vertical ma... 
Adding two JL Audio F110's to my 2 channel system
i have 2 F110s supplementing my Magico S3s, running without a x-over (just dial the xover on the sub low). not sure what you're referring to w/ Neutrik vs XLRs, a simple balanced cable from my preamp main out (i have 2, one to my amp, 2nd to my su... 
Scott Weiland dead at 48.
i hate everything he ever did but "Atlanta", which is possibly one of the most beautiful things ive heard. ---up there w/ van morrison "tupelo honey"---just a magical song. troubled artist gone. sad.RIP scott

Speakers or Amp
richard, ryan here (i bought your sashas a few years back). seriously, come to houston one weekend as i think you'd benefit greatly from a few $ spent on AC conditioning and some diff cabling before you go whole hog on speakers / separates. TG Aud...

2nd what dob says. power cords and vibration control (sistrum!) works wonders.
