Who would've known I'd be popping some Thompson twins in 2017!

Good Friday just got better with this phenomenal debut album...



This is the original on Landslide Records (a small label out of Athens, GA) of which only about a few thousand were pressed. This original dos not have the additional 3 tracks that were added on the 2 subsequent releases in the following 3 years.




Widespread Panic--"Space Wrangler"...Landslide Records, CD, 1988.

It's a cool record, it was when they kicked out drummer Jimmy Chamberlin bc of his heroine use, so it's a different sounding album compared to their previous stuff. More electronic, but great songwriting.

Ideas on what to connect the tv with to the amp? The quad has damn near every connection possible. I'm assuming there shouldn't be any issues connecting. I just don't know the best way. Analog, optical, coax?

Picked up a zeppelin album this weekend and the old lady wanted Heart... Euclid looked like it had been picked through pretty good.

Just run a digital coax or Toslink (optical) from the cable box to the Quad.

I went to Euclid Saturday...spent about an hour looking, but nothing jumped out at me. Picked up a Ryan Adams LP--Prisoner.

On now.... I know I've heard most of these songs, but a few I haven't and wonder why...
Guess it's the beauty of vinyl, get to listen to the whole album.

Appreciate it Marco, I'll find something here in the next day or so. This shite is getting worse than my boat.

My go-to's on Zep I...Baby I'm Gonna Leave You, How Many More Times, and Your Time is Gonna Come...but the entire record is great--Blues Rock n roll.

For the cable box, just pick up a $5-$10 1m optical cable from Wally Marks--it will be fine for TV.

Cool... thanks.
And good thing... I'm reading a pissing match on stereophile about which one is better.

Hadn't pulled the speakers out b/c I was cooking while I was listening to the Zep album. She walks in from teaching her class, sits down and says they don't sound the same. Creating a damn snob
