| 1955-2001 Favorite Top Ten Rock Groups I would venture to guess that it was Fleetwood Mac, Rumors, that might have sold over 10 mil. copies. Or, was it Pink Floyd with Dark Side of The Moon?? | |
| 1955-2001 Favorite Top Ten Rock Groups Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, CCR, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Rainbow (up to their 5th album), UFO (with Micheal Schenker), The Who, Queen, Rush, and as mandatory skeletons in the closet to finish the list, KISS (wanna get cheesier than that? How'bat Blondie?).... | |
| Horrific Confession and Question One of the reasons people buy Bose is the hype created by its marketing, and Bose is a mediocre brand in terms of performance. I think many would agree to the two facts. Bashing Bose is not equivalent to bashing people who buy it. In fact, I have ... | |
| Horrific Confession and Question One reason many audiophiles bash Bose, I suspect, may be that one time or another they got burned by Bose -- I have. I had to work my tails off during the summer and save like Scrouge to afford (an amplifier and) a Bose satellite system about ten ... | |
| SF GP VS Vienna Mozart VS Tempo III It seems that you do not have dealers carrying the speakers you mentioned in your area. It would be very difficult for the people in this forum to select one for you since it is highly subjective to define "best" depending on one's preference and ... | |
| Rock and Roll Snobbery It is like "ceteris paribus, music reproduced by better equipments is more enjoyable." :) And, that everything encompasses a lot of things (too many to list). With that in mind, I stopped being a true audiophile (not too long for the audiophile ca... | |

| Rock and Roll Snobbery In my opinion, a great system should -- I hope -- handle any type of music well. Such a system may require a great deal of clams. And, it is not so easy to find or build a decent system that can handle every type of music very well although it dep... | |
| THE BEST SMALL SPEAKERS As a usual disclaimer, it may depend on your budget, preference of music, current system, upgrade path you have in mind, etc. I would say Superzeros and a matching sub would do the job around 1K. As someone noted, B&W DM601 2S plus a Monitor A... | |
| Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green Green and Clapton were the first white Blues guitarists who broke into the scene and made a big contribution to the music of Blues in terms of popularizing it-- especially Clapton. But, although they are technically great, their phrasing and conve... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music I have always admired the world of Bach. Unaccompanied Violin Sonatas and Partitas along with Unaccompanied Cello suites move me without failure. Elgar's Cello Concerto is a nice piece. Sarasate's Ziegnerweisen performed by Heifetz should be heard... | |
| "The Audio Critic" B.S. or what? A friend of mine is an electrical engineer who also happens to know a bit of hi-fi. His wife once told him that "better" cables and interconnects did not sound any better when he got those expensive wires. His wife is not a dieshard; yet, I know s... |
