Which USB Cable?
I would highly recommend Acoustic Revive USB cables. I was amazed at the impact they've had in my system but as Jfrech suggested if you have the opportunity to try some you'd be best served. Good luck on your quest. 
Family Band "Grace & Lies"
Glad some others are enjoying this too.I'll never say anything negative about the Cowboy Junkies (who I actually like!) again. Promise.Swampkiller...Never could get The Low Anthem. Kinda pretty music but for me I could not find the soul in it. Sti...

Family Band "Grace & Lies"
Thanks for the thoughtful words, John.Yes, definitely some of that Hope Sandoval thing going on. I hear a lot of Cowboy Junkies, even a little Red House Painters in the music, not so much lyrically as this band is much stronger there. Although I l...
