MFSL Ultradisc vs. Ultradisc II
My one gripe with all the CD editions of DSOM is the wide differences in loudness.The MF Ultradisc one has been mastered really quietly-the most recent remaster the '94 one and the MF are the best in my opinion,the Shine On(box set) version is jus... 
Anybody willing to admit?
I mean CD's too... 
Anyone heard of this ? Possible "scam" ?
Also the manual for my Proac Studio 150'S speakers said to leave them for a few hours to come to room temprature before letting rip.That was a long wait I can assure you...

CFB-you ever get these discs?Ben 
What can you do about a nonselling seller?
I think the best thing to do with a non-selling seller is not to buy from him,if nothing else it'll confuse him.:-)Seriously though even though I've never bought anything here on Audiogon since I'm in the UK-you must be aware it is the nature of t... 
Greatest Songwriter of all time
Onhwy61-I cannot believe you are serious with that Dylan/tune argument but there's probably been enough Dylan discussion recently...the thread has deviated slightly we were given limited boundaries but on tunes how about Brian Wilson,Paddy McAloon...

Jeff,Good post I might add that 3 of the guys you mention whom I love also(Springsteen,Costello and Knopfler) are so influenced by Dylan it is incredible.:-)I'm also not sure it's the best way to split the genre but I follow your example.....and y... 
Dylan on Drugs ?
RL/Jeff,With respect RL not being able to grasp the fuss about Dylan is a little strange to me,I can understand you not liking his music but the reason for the fuss shouldn't be beyond you,simply he changed popular music forever,he took the form a... 
Dylan on Drugs ?
John,Ah you can't kid a kidder but yes apparently the late 80's and early 90's saw Dylan on a bad alcohol trip.I've actually seen Bob 8 times, all in Scotland-'89,'91x2,'95x3,'97 and 2000(I think these years are right but..)-as CFB points out his ... 
Dylan on Drugs ?
John,I am a Dylan nut even though I buy a whole load of contemporary stuff ,for me Love And Theft was easily album of the year.I'm also no Dylan apologist he's had his fair share of low points over the years and I do think his voice could be a pro...
