Wow, Snooker, seems I misjuged you. After critizising you, I now must admit, that I appreciate very much what you had to say. ..... and put back to zero on this post what I had negatively done before. You have my respect ( for what it is worth)Cheers

I do the same as Gregm says, but still like TAS for general information and for their ruminations on the philsophy of listening ( how and to what ). As far as that 's concerend, they've taught me a lot through the last thirty years. I much preferr...
