Amy Winehouse LP Lioness:Hidden Treasures
Silly question but...how's the music? 
Why Doesn't Contemporary Jazz Get Any Respect?
"Music is History. if you don't understand that, then we will never see eye to eye."OK, against my better instincts, I'll play. You seem to refer to 'history' a lot in your posts. Music HAS history, music CAN be historic. To suggest music IS histo... 
Why Doesn't Contemporary Jazz Get Any Respect?
"Oh, come on now, It wasn't THAT naive."Um, yeah it was. Your witty remarks suggest that you know all you're ever gonna know. I could write a very, very long list of extraordinary Jazz but I doubt you'd pay any attention to it. The fact that you d... 
Why Doesn't Contemporary Jazz Get Any Respect?
"There are just a few still worthy of the name Jazz player or bluesman. Once they pass on, that's it folks. We can all snooze then. And don't get me started on gospel, R&B or country."Brother, all I can say about this astoundingly naive statem... 
Who makes a good or decent CD recorder?
Tascam CD-RW900SL. Bought one this year and have been very pleased with it. We discussed it here, you might want to do a search. 
Has LED caught up to Plasma?
5 ft. away from an 84" screen!? I don't know Chad, I find that even in a theater, if I have to move my eyes from left to right to see what's happening, I'm sitting entirely too close! I'll defer to those of you that actually prefer sitting in the ... 
Has LED caught up to Plasma?
Recently picked up a 50" Plasma so I put my 34" Sony CRT into the bedroom. It amazes me that EVERY person I've asked sez the plasma's the better TV when it's SO clear to me that the Sony's got the better picture. I guess we truly are a "if it's bi... 
Spendor and Tubes
Started out with SS 20 yrs ago when I 1st got my Spendor S100's. For the past 7-8 yrs it's been all tube!! Music Reference RM9, Audio Research LS15, Audio Research PH3. Don't know if it's due to my amp being 100WPC but my system has NO PROBLEM ROC... 
Help Me Build a Vinyl System
As far as the question about how many records you own goes, while being a fair question, it's kind of a 'what came 1st, the chicken or the egg". The common train of thought is that one shouldn't have more money invested in the equipment than in th... 
My favorite Steely Dan song has to be...
Century's End 
Allman, Clapton, and Simon
Agreed! 
Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa-"Don't Explain"
I wrote this about Black Country Communion 2 at another site. Bonassama's da bomb!"At 57yrs old my hard-core rockin' ways have been woken up by this record! Led Zeppelin fans should rejoice with this recording. A true modern day supergroup consist... 
If you could bring back one great artist that has
Jimi Hendrix & Miles Davis were circling each other at the time of Hendrix's passing. Miles was very much into what was happening at the time between the Rock (Hendrix) and the Funk (Sly Stone). Hendrix songwriting was getting jazzier and it w... 
Are you an Audiophile?
"Spending more money on gear than music is not stupid unless it really gets out of control."Spoken like a true audiophile!;) I don't want to say as harsh a word as stupid BUT....it's definitely wrong!! Regardless of whether it's OOC or not! 
Why 24/7 warm-up period on amps?
OK, howzabout other electronics? My CD player's left on 24/7. I've read that there's benefits to be heard when doing so, I don't hear much of a difference BUT....I've also read that it extends the life of the unit by not powering it on and off all...
