Naim and Elac Adante, Wow
Ctsooner. My bad. I didn’t realize you were quoting Audiotroy. As punishment for my error, I went back and read Audiotroy’s post of March 8. Can you imagine how painful that was for me? I usually don't read but merely skim his posts. They simply g... 
Anyone hear Robert Plant's new release, Carry Fire?
Yes garebear. Lanois wrote that one. You seem to appreciate the same work and same albums as i do. They are all flat out great songs and great production. All among my favs. 
Naim and Elac Adante, Wow
ctsooner You speak of my "bad taste behavior". I have seen many of your posts on Audiogon. I have never said anything negative about you, your posts or anyone on Audiogon except Audiotroy and a Goner who either posted at his behest or appeared to ... 
Naim and Elac Adante, Wow
Audiotroy:I'm done here.As always, I've said enough.You've said too much. 
Naim and Elac Adante, Wow
Tomic206Sounds like a great idea. As you say, it's the music that matters and the joy of listening. For Audiotroy, it's the art of the deal. 
Naim and Elac Adante, Wow
Audiotroy:As always, you generate many words and miss the point. I have tremendous respect for Andrew Jones. He is one of our premier speaker designers and I’m sure that Elacs sound wonderful. As to your desire to put tomic601 and I in the same ro... 
Dealers hijacking the discussions
I agree Tomic601. It surely doesn't matter what Dave drives.It appears that Dave Wilson can buy a Ferrari because he makes a highly regarded product which sells very well. He runs a profitable business operation with a knowledgeable and dedicated ... 
Publication bias and confounders in product reviews - TAS, Stereophile, Audiogon, etcetera
Many times, a reviewer asks to review a component that he (or an editor) heard at a show and with which he was favorably impressed. Although reviewers at the 2 big magazines rarely trash a product, a good review usually informs the reader about th... 
Naim and Elac Adante, Wow
Audiotroy is back.  He is once again taking up valuable space in the forums to sell his products and debunk others. Anyone who prefers another outstanding brand is hard of hearing and most likely a kool-aid drinking "fanboy". Oh and he has science... 
How Is MQA Fareing?
This is a very interesting conversation. The objective analysis from the articles cited above as well as writings by Andreas Koch (Playback Designs) and others are very convincing to me. At the NY stereo show, I heard a comparison of a few tracks ... 
Quincy Jones Interview
"All Things Must Pass" as good as at least half of the Beatle albums. "Cloud 9" and "Brainwashed" are also very strong. To me, John was the least compelling solo artist--although "Imagine" and "Instant Karma" as singles were tres cool. McCartney's... 
Quincy Jones Interview
Thanks for the links Frogman. I remember Leonard Bernstein as a big Beatles fan and champion. In fact, he gave my parents reason to pause and listen to the point where they understood the music, loved some of it, and began to understand the feelin... 
Getting into tubes
I heard the Merlin VSMs at an audio show in NYC years ago with the Ars Sonum Filarmonia as per Jond above. The sound was superb. I spoke to Bobby Palkovich at the show who told me how the Ars was his personal favorite amp with his speakers. He lik... 
Anyone hear Robert Plant's new release, Carry Fire?
Slaw:Agreed. Lanois has a unique style that does not always work. When it does, it can be very effective. 
Quincy Jones Interview
Bruno Mars has not produced an original musical thought or lick yet--at least from his hits (I have never heard anything else he has done). I recognize that most pop/rock use riffs/beats/melodies from the past, but I've yet to hear him steal one a...
