Bob Dylan - Together Through Life

The new Bob Dylan release "Together Through Life" has just been released and it's very listenable and surprisingly enjoyable.

After my first few listens I would describe it has a cross between his last two studio releases, "Love and Theft" and "Modern Times". The sound is very laid back with nice loose feel but featuring top notch playing by Dylan's crack band. The recording quality is first rate with a clear sound and an uncluttered mix.

Mexico is now reporting 149 dead...they have closed schools nationwide for at least two weeks...A Texas town with a few cases has also closed schools for a week...so

How prepared are folk to:

1. Stay in their home for weeks
2. Be sent home by their employer
3. Deal with kids sent home from school

Some things folk can do that have no long term negative effect.

1. Plan
2. Stock a months food
3. restock the medicine cabinet
4. get cleaning supplies

Where would be a good point for a newcomer to begin reading? At this point, I'm not ready to compare the airiness of a solid-state amp against the timbre of tubes.
What's impedance? Why pre-amps? Is an integrated amp a pre-amp and an amp in one box, or an amp that uses integrated circuits? How is line-out different from the headphone jack? A good turntable may be worth its weight in silver, but what does it matter what hardware reads bits from my CDs and sends them to the DAC, wherever that may be?

I had no idea, back when I set out to put together a music lover's stereo system in the $2500&#150;$3750 range, that while I was beavering away the stock market would tank and credit markets would freeze up&#151;or that the federal government would print money to bail out overextended investment banks, take equity interests in commercial banks, and become the lender of only resort for GM, Chrysler, and Ford. I usually avoid even the hint of political commentary in my audio writing, but I can't resist passing along a quip I'm very proud of: I <I>told</I> all my friends that, if they voted for John Kerry, within four years we'd have socialism, and I was right (footnote 1).
