| The Tragic Decline of Music Literacy (and Quality) Fortunately I live near the College Conservatory of Music which offers opportunities I never would have experienced otherwise. Especially the new composers series that took place for three weeks during several summers. I met Steve Reich, Moritz Eg... | |
| It was 50 years ago today.... Two after Beatles records that deserve merit IMHO are 'All Things Must Pass' and 'RAM'. | |
| It was 50 years ago today.... Sorry, I'm thinking of 'I Feel Fine'. | |
| It was 50 years ago today.... 'Day Tripper' featured George Harrison's counterpoint guitar which was sophisticated and still is. | |

| It was 50 years ago today.... It would be hard to come up with a 60's/70's pop group that didn't incorporate horn and string arrangements into there recordings. The Beatles were a product of their environment with this respect. Often, the band would record and then a later dat... | |

| Are high sample rates making your music sound worse? mzkmxcv' Also, the people I’ve heard from who are in the industry, all agree that digitized vinyl sounds identical. You finding this different either means you listened to garbage conversions or your brain is telling you what you want to hear, wh... | |
| Are high sample rates making your music sound worse? I've been considering purchasing a Schiit Bifrot 16 bit DAC for a more modest system. Schiit Audio also offers a multibit Bifrost but I don't know that the added cost would really be justified.I have a friend who said that in many ways he prefers ... | |
