| Classic rock: best remasters Mapman, nobody is saying dynamic range is the only audio parameter worth mentionng, but if it ain't dynamic I ain't interested. I can listen to the radio if I want to listen to dynamically compressed music. The last two Stones albums and the last ... | |

| Anyone into cassettes? Yup, cassettes rule. I have ditched my modded Oppo set up in favor of a very simple relatively unmodded, untweaked portable walkman type cassette player with vintage earphones. This very uncomplex system produces dynamic, uncompressed, open, clear... | |
| Best isolation cones If isolation didn't exist would man have to create it? One wonders, did 50,000 audiophiles get hoodwinked into purchasing isolation devices since the advent of Seismic Sink and Vibraplane 20 years ago? That would be one big honking scam. | |
