| The worst sentence in audio writing @erik_squires The implication is that this new piece of gear is better than everything else heard before when in reality it's just different. This is possibly the number 1 greatest fallacy forever perpetuated by audio reviewers. It's ... | |
| A perfect song? What are your choices? @roxy54 Her singing makes murder justifiable. Now if only Chapman had a last minute relapse of focus and shot her by mistake. Then we could have spent the last 40 years consoling John and congratulating Chapman... | |
| 33rpm vs 45rpm - which is better @larryi I do have fun shocking people with some original recordings that demonstrate how the art of recording has NOT improved in the last 60+ years. I can put on a 1959 Columbia Brubeck "Time Out" or Ellington's "Blues in Orbit" to show that e... | |
| 33rpm vs 45rpm - which is better I was taught by the various audio magazines that 33rpm LP was the best available format for sonics, and yet when a friend bought round his 45rpm 12 inch single of Duran Duran's 'The Wild Boys' the dynamics were something my Linn/Naim system had ne... | |
| Michael Fremer leaves Analog Planet Whether you can trust him or not he's certainly an interesting fellow. I enjoyed his vinyl rips posted online at analogue planet radio and his interview with Siegfried Linkwitz was pretty special too. https://www.analogplanet.com/category/analog... | |
| Old CDs and records @sns Time to cue up that old quote attributed to Hunter S Thompson - "The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench - a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men die like dogs. There’s also a negative side.... | |
| A perfect song? What are your choices? @serjio You reminded me of this one. Absolutely timeless. | |
| Old CDs and records @rok2id Then along comes Streaming. Now audiophiles seem to be saying, the standard for great streaming is, if it equals CD in sound quality. Am I missing something? We're all getting older and the harsh practicalities of the world are dif... | |
| Politics and Music @jssmith But my thoughts are that there are probably no lyricists, or other types of celebrities, with the brainpower of a Thomas Sowell or Jordan Peterson, so people should definitely look elsewhere for their inspirations, political or otherwis... | |
| What are we objectivists missing? Subjectivists do have things going for them. They do help to keep a lot of people in jobs for one. Secondly they also help keep the used market thriving as they flit from one brand to another. I should know, I was one. For a while it was fu... | |
| Old CDs and records Yes, this is a deplorable situation. More and more people are dying these days with substantial collections of books, records, paraphernalia left behind in the hands of those who cannot see anything beyond a financial return for them. Ok it’s no... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? Is this Lou Reed’s best lyric? I’m Set Free The Velvet Underground I’ve been set free and I’ve been bound To the memories of yesterday’s clouds I’ve been set free and I’ve been bound And now I’m set free I’m set free I’m set free to find... | |
| Blind Test: mp3 vs. 24bit Wow, that’s close. When you consider the fact that the MP3 versions were between 220~260kbps, and not the highest available, 320kbps, then you can see the disparagement of MP3 for what it’s worth. As I said 12 months ago, it would appear that on... | |
| A perfect song? What are your choices? @mitchagain Heavy Metal 1966 style. | |
| Politics and Music @uncledemp I just don’t consider him or most musicians, actors, talk show hosts, and audio enthusiasts a reliable source of information to base my views upon. Well said. Here in the UK the early 80s were a time when quite a few UK artists g... |
