| Neil Young - Guitarist @bdp24 Thanks for your further explanation. I respect your point of view. I would answer your question by saying that, in your illustration, Steve Smith is a vastly better drummer than Richard Manuel. Steve Smith has the technical chops to play di... | |
| Neil Young - Guitarist Hmm...I'm struggling with accepting the idea that "artistic" doesn't involve technical skill. In music, it does. Playing a musical instrument "greatly" requires many things--one of those requirements is deep technical skill. Frank Zappa wrote the ... | |
| Sonic Frontiers SFD-2 MkIII... USED PRICE... @georgehifi Great story that proves there is a bit of mystery in this hobby. Glad you got it working--well spent $100...oh and you had fun working on it too! | |
| Neil Young - Guitarist +1 onhwy61 +1 jrpnde If you play the guitar fairly well and understand the instrument, the RS top 100 greatest guitarist of all time list seems a jumbled mess. Some folks have no business being on the list. Other truly great guitarists are buried ... | |

I have read lots of reviews; I haven't read any that concluded with some... | |

| High End Ethernet Cables ....Real Deal or Snake Oil +1 audiotroy for the alcohol into gas chromatograph analogy. It doesn't prove ethernet cables make an objective difference but it does remind us that the human senses are more complex than man-made measurement devices. (Although I'm confident a mo... | |
| Should I re-rip? FLAC is a much smaller file than WAV. So, before you head that direction you need to answer two questions: (1) how much storage capacity do you have? and (2) how much storage capacity will all your files in the WAV format require? I agree that the... |
