Bob Dylan, have an opinion?
SD rather than crucify you ironically enough I really can relate to where you are coming from. Until that 1st time I saw him in that August evening of 29-30 summers ago my sentiments concerning Dylan could have been summed up similar to yours. May...

Help with tube amps
"Romantic accoustics" seals the deal for Conrad Johnson. That magical caramel tube glow in the midrange would be a good syno match with what you describe you are looking for. CJ has that is spades. Good luck

Musicality" in a system? What IS that ?
Indeed Frogman you speak for me as well. It is a real pleasure having a resident "Observer" on this site.

Before They Were Famous
Well Exley sounds now that your on Florida and the Allman Brothers remember what the group was called before they became famous? This is during their Florida days. 
Jazz and Acoustic Guitar recommendation
Jtinn I say to your recommendation, "ditto". A spellbounding performance and recording both. 
"Saudage" and the music of Brazil.
Frogman indeed it will include Rio where my wife was raised and will include a stop in Bele Horizonte, Salvadore and maybe Curitiba. I will be certain to check out JazzMania in Copacabana among a few others. There is always a flurry of things to d...
