worse entertainer or performer of all time??
Sunnyjim To Albert Porter, I believe you are the Agoner with Soundlab monoliths, and a part/full-time recording engineer. If yes to the latter, then can you inform or enlighten us why the sound quality of Derek and the Dominoes' " Layla" blows.I o... 
worse entertainer or performer of all time??
FrogmanThis is the first time, after all these years on the 'goN, that I disagree with something that Albert has written. I think that there is value in a thread like this. I think that the expressed opinions say almost as much about the musical t...

Rpeluso,Will someone, anyone, please educate me to the value of this topic? It seems to me to be a free forum for anyone to display their bias towards others. .......Human behavior is ugly at time. This is one of those times.Three is no value in t...

Glad to see this thread resurface, I was just thinking about how many Hollywood actors belong on this list, especially after watching the movie "Unforgettable" last night and enduring Ray Liotta for over an hour and a half.At the end it made me wo...

BrianmgrarcomDo you enjoy digital photography Albert? I like to take pictures, but I am not the best at it. I recently purchased Lightroom and it is quite amazing at what can be done to a picture.Digital is fine, it's better than film in some ways... 
What time do you wear?
Mitch4t,No, there are no clients to support film photography and most (all?) the labs here have closed their doors. It's sad, I often pull out pages of 35MM Kodachrome of my family or a photo assignment and have fond memories.I have thousands and ...

You can use Win or Mac and the new JRivers software plus iPad App.JRivers for Mac is still in beta but ready soon and is reasonable. About $50.00 and (Beta testers) friends in the audio business say JRivers is superior sound too.I currently use Ch...

I'm sorry, but I simply have a very hard time believing - picture quality alone (which, btw, should be the only real thing that matters for a Bluray player) -that having an Oppo in my system, was really "that much better" than what some off the sh...
