| Why Is Krell the a bad work??? c'mon ben, you're starting to sound like mr. eber. he thinks there's only one guy in cyberspace who dislikes his opinions/rants and sez so thru multiple user names. i agree that some of this stuff is repetitious garbage but, hey, it's likely heart... | |
| CD Players with volume controls there was a very recent thread on this topic, tho i recollect it threw off more heat than light. (hint: carl_eber has a resolution audio player that he runs direct). BTW, the very best one-box player you can buy, IMConsideredO, is the accuphase 75... | |

| Rock and Roll Snobbery Onhwy61: good post! there are some rock/pop groups that do care about sound and produce their cd's/lp's accordingly. 2 that come readily to mind are phish and rusted root. as others have pointed out in other threads: c&w tends to be well-recor... | |
| How did U get into this expensive hobby? i composed the last post while some of you were engaged in impolite colloquy. (i'm a slow typist-4 fingers at best.) hope you don't mind my getting back to the theme of the thread. ;>0 | |
| How did U get into this expensive hobby? i bought my first "hi-fi" in 1957, an rca with blonde wood cabinet and metal legs in the "moderne" style. it was purchased with the $$ i got from selling a huge lionel model rr setup. (yeah, i know, the stuff would be worth a fortune now.) the fir... | |
