Sonus Faber Toy Monitor or S.A. Minuet Supreme???
I can't speak directly to your question, but I've had Minuettos (the littlest guys ever from SF, I believe) in my home office for +/- 20 years. Not the most neutral loudspeaker ever sold, but very satisfying sound from a shoebox sized cabinet.Marty

Hodu,If you want to hear Todd flog his guitar, check out his recent disc called "Todd Rundgren's Johnson". He covers about a dozen Robert Johnson classics and just kills 'em. It's a little strange to buy something from TR that features someone els...

Thanx, Don.So it seems that Todd actually did that wild solo on the track "70s Scenario", after all...I wouldn't have guessed that (and I'm only a half step behind your wife's Todd worshipping buddies). I've seen him perform a couple of dozen time...

Looking forward to hearing about anything Todd's got to say.Marty 
Which Primaluna amp ?
BTW, I've had PL mono amps for several years. Reliable, great sounding, great fun w/ plug 'n' play tube rolling.Marty

Hodu,I just fired up Showbiz Kids and I definitely see your point. I always assumed that that was Larry Carlton on guitar. Oddly enough, Carlton was another name that came up when I played this "whodunnit" game with my instructor.I'll keep workin'...

No answer on the e-mail yet, but my guitar teacher had an interesting guess after I played a "70's Scenario" YouTube video for him. He agreed that it didn't sound like Todd and he also thought that both Derringer or Fripp were unlikely. He couldn'... 
Recommendations for Electronic Crossovers - HELP
NHT X-2 (now discontinued) if you can find one. 
Intoxicating music
Phillip Glass - North Star (Etoile Polaire)Listen loud and this music seems to have a neurological effect - no chemicals required.Marty 
What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's?
Donjr.Billy, Don't Be A Hero was a #1 hit for Paper Lace in the UK. The US hit was by Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods. I don't believe that Paper Lace ever reached the top 40 with that song in the US.Marty

Loomis,I just took your suggestion and put the question to liveatdarylshouse.comI'll report back if/when I hear from them.BTW, Todd's pretty nimble when he wants to be, but I agree that some of the War Babies cuts feature a showier lead guitar sty...
