What in the world is going on.....

I'm sorry that you are disappointed in the vinyl version of the new Paul Simon record, "Stranger to Stranger." I bought the CD the day it came out and played it in the car on the way home, and played it again listening to headphones later that day. I like it! So, just ignore the poor quality of the vinyl and buy the CD. After all, we're in it for the music, right?

Paul Simon recordings "sound crap"? Really, go listen to the "Graceland" CD or vinyl, and tell me it sounds "crap." You may need a hearing check. And for the comment about the new album being recorded "loud," makes me think about a car that is too fast. Your preamp has a volume control for the same reason a car has an accelerator. I’m not a rabid Paul Simon fan but his works are some of the favorites in my collection, all the way back to his collaborations with Art Garfunkel. Lighten up!

Thanks for your opinion. Opinions are like (well, you know) and everyone has one. You’re entitled to yours. Thanks for showing it to us.

P.S. Check page 1 and 2 of this thread and you can read what I said. It hasn’t been deleted! There’s no reason why it would be.

I'm SHOCKED, shocked to learn that not everyone on this forum has the same musical tastes. Even the original poster of this thread admitted that on headphones, Paul Simon's "Stranger to Stranger" sounded "wonderful". Look, you may not like the album, or Paul Simon in general, but to complain about it on this forum seems juvenile. Even the most jaded audiophile must recognize that PS has given us a lot of great music during his career, even if it isn't your style.

Sorry, stringreen, but this thread went off track several postings go. I got your point about being disappointed about the sound through your MP3/ Sennheiser setup being superior to your vinyl rig. I wish I had the answer to your dilemma. What disturbed me was the echo of many voices saying, in effect, that Paul Simon's contribution to R&R music over the past 50 years is insignificant, or negligible. Seriously?
