| Am I defective? Is it a blessing or a curse to be moved to great lengths by a piece of art, music or any other purely creative endeavor? Are purely creative works wastes of time or truly key to the survival of the species? To be sure it's the seed for one heck of... | |
| What happened to all the highend stereo shops If I still lived in L.A. I'd still be frequenting high end shops and actual record stores & musical instrument shops. I made myself a nuisance in them, and so did my dad. In any event, now that I've moved to a small town in the middle of nowh... | |
| What does it take to be a die hard Beatles fan? As Bob Dylan once sang, "Confusion reigns like bullets bark." And a pop quiz... What song is this line from?☺ | |
| Classical music thread welcoming your suggestions and why... Pardon the thread drift, but say what you will about pianist Maurizio Pollini possessing more finger speed than soul, more often than not he’s my go-to guy when I want to hear some Chopin. Out and out exhilarating. I might have mentioned it in ano... | |
| Dreamin' of streamin' @davedword My laptop and the Cambridge are connected by a USB cable. In any case, I simply double-click on the icon of whatever piece of music I have stored on my laptop and the music magically appears on my stereo. Yeah, all the old stuff on my c... | |
| What does it take to be a die hard Beatles fan? I've probably mentioned this a couple times on this website, but when I refused to agree that Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was not only the Beatles' finest album but the finest piece of music of all time, all my high school friends uncere... | |

| Dreamin' of streamin' I get absolutely lovely fidelity of timbre...though perhaps not the finest 3D imaging I've had...via a phone company hardwired ethernet connection from my wall to a Cambridge CXN streamer/DAC controlled by my laptop. My internet sources are usuall... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? My record shelf has a decent share of the records I see in this thread. The Mozart Karl Bohm DG record. The Antal Dorati Haydn. Joni Mitchell's Clouds. Blondie's Eat to the Beat. And we're only talkin' about this particular page... In other word... | |
| What does it take to be a die hard Beatles fan? Putting "Revolution No. 9" on auto-repeat. | |
| So you just took a gummie...What song is on the menu? Hanky Panky by Tommy James and the Shondells. | |
| What does it take to be a die hard Beatles fan? In the words of Lt. Gerard in the opening moments of the 1960's TV show "The Fugitive," when it comes to my opinion of Blues Breakers/Cream era Clapton all I can say is "I don't philosophize, I hunt." | |
| Classical music thread welcoming your suggestions and why... Ah, a Classical Music thread that actually announces exactly what it is...😀 In any event, a good intro might be to say what I like like about the stuff...er...genre. First off, the utterly excellent tunes. Or the exciting, mind-bending lack of s... | |
| KEF owners, how are your speakers positioned? When I had my KEF Corellis, oh so long ago, I had them pointed slightly inward, as far from the walls as possible in my series of modest apartments. Depending on my mood I'd either have the grills on or off. The grills gave me slightly better orch... | |
