| Linn vs VPI? If you travel to a Linn dealer and he sets it up really well, then you drive it home, it will not loose anything. I think given a proper set up the Linn beats the VPI in warmth and transparency with acoustic instruments. If you are a rock 'n rolle... | |
| McCartney Live? STILL I dearly love his work before '70! | |
| Sota Sapphire with or without vacuum? I had a Sapphire w/o vacuum years ago circa 1989, one of the first. It was an extrordinary TT. In the mid-90's I heard a Vacuum model, and I couldn't believe my ears. It cost so much more and was NOT even close. I think it lost its resolution and ... | |
| McCartney Live? "Isn't that enough? What else could anybody ask of the man?"Well, it certainly is enough if one resigns themself to maintainance of their buisness and media interests. That's fine, let him enjoy it.But that is not what an artist is. When it happen... | |
| any early 80's alt/soft punk fans out there? I am perpelexed at the concept of 'soft punk'. Doesn't that defeat the purpose? | |
| McCartney Live? Remember guys, I also called him a genius!It is simple: a genius turns his back on innovation and the creative processand thus becomes a buisness interesta hacka has beencould it have been different?of course!Sir Paul chose fame and money over his... | |
| McCartney Live? If I didn't know better I would think 'Liverpool Oratorio' was a Korean war era punishment for P.O.W.'s invented by the Chinese. | |

| McCartney Live? My point is that it is possible to keep growing and innovating indefinitely for the mind of a musical genius. Yes, it is true I am not a huge rock fan. But it is possible to keep growing. Hey, just look at Neil Young or Bob Dylan for example. They... | |
| McCartney Live? Yes Mapman he will be remembered, but for the things he wrote before 1970. That is my point. He has not grown, and seems not interested in growth. Since 1970 he has been a business-showman, like (god forbid) ole king Elvis (who I will NEVER unders... | |
| McCartney Live? You know, you guys are right. If you enjoy it, that's fantastic. However my personal criticism is that Sir Paul stopped growing as a musician in 1970. Although I love the Beatles, I see him as a has-been and a hack. It is a little sickening hear t... | |
| McCartney Live? No disrespect to the fans, but I am always surprised when stuff we have all heard 9 million times gets people excited . Do you really need to hear "Drive my car" again? Hey, I like the Beatles. Sir Paul was a great force in music. But there is act... | |
| More reports-How many corrupted CD-R's with time? I have had CDR's go bad, usually when left in the car in extreme temperatures. What do you expect? It is a practically disposable medium with no thought paid in design toward archivism. | |
