I am sick of Adele
The diva from yesteryear could still blow Adele off the stage! 
Did anyone see the Adele concert from N.Y.C tonight

Audio Research PH6 Phono Stage - How is it?
I really like the versatility of the Zestos phono-preamp. I am really glad I bought it over the ARC. I can't comment on the Herron because I have never heard it. Though I have heard nothing but good things about it.

Someone had mentioned Christopher Hansen on a thread I read the other day
BDP,And what is really amazing that Lyric is still in business after all these years. I wonder If they still do the same schtik?

Garebear,You are so right about performers like B.B. King and James Brown having class. Like you said you just don't see any class with these rappers or hip-hop performers. I guess that is another thing that really turns me off to that genre.
