| Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You? I was thrilled and couldn’t agree more with many lyrics noted above. Here are a couple others that rattle around in me. No, don't ask me to apologize I won't ask you to forgive me - Elvis Costello I’m not giving in an inch to fear - David Crosby | |
| Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You? ..:Well, I don't exactly know What's going on in the world today Don't know what there is to say About the way the people are treating Each other, not like brothers Leaders take us far away from ecology With mythology and astrology Has got some w... | |
| What Meatloaf and Beer Have Taught me about Audiophiles A thread full of gracious companionship. What a delight! Like a morsel of my wife’s lovely meatloaf or a sip of a British cream ale! | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? @bzawa @immatthewj That's Springsteen? That's quite good. Is it from Jungle Land? The lyrics are the opening verse of Thunder Road, from the same lp as Jungleland. At the risk of beating a dead horse, I have a slightly different take on Sp... | |

| Send in the Clowns @acefactory Well said! Thank you. | |
| Help me build up a jazz album collection. Can you suggest a must have album? You already have a wonderful survey of core jazz recordings, but there still are a few contemporary sax players worth calling to your attention: John Zorn - he is incredibly eclectic and prolific. I think he averages nearly 10 releases a year, in... | |
| Favorite Album Cover (picture or art on the cover) Lots of excellent examples above, but I didn’t see any P-Funk covers. Several are great. Here’s my fave. https://www.discogs.com/master/16158-Funkadelic-Maggot-Brain/image/SW1hZ2U6Mjk2MzIzMQ==?srsltid=AfmBOorp1IORDbalHdiSuBsFf06Ic-qsA5mDjzo9Ax8PE... | |
| Package Has Disappeared in USPS System The assumption, implied by those who intend never to use USPS again, that private couriers like UPS and FedEx are more reliable than USPS is not borne out by my experience. I never have had problems with delivery of the many hundreds of packages I... | |
| Help Deciding On New Speakers For Small Room, $10k budget @cookiecurls you already have received some very good recommendations. I agree with those who suggest one of the BBC models. When I moved nearly a decade ago into a home with a small dedicated listening room, I had opportunity to build a system sp... | |
| Where to purchase cables? I have experimented with lots of DIY and commercial cables without spending too much money. For commercial cables, I buy and sell almost exclusively on A’gon and USAudiomart. If you’re patient, you can buy, test and resell virtually any cable you ... | |
| SR Tuning Discs, Psychoacoustic Bias and Listening Fatigue @tlcocks I certainly was not referring to your review in my comment. I found your comments open-minded and helpful. I appreciate you sharing your experience. The comments that put me off are those that treat other peoples’ curiosities, experiment... | |
| SR Tuning Discs, Psychoacoustic Bias and Listening Fatigue @wesheadley You described my evaluation procedure to the T! Cheers. | |
| SR Tuning Discs, Psychoacoustic Bias and Listening Fatigue @wesheadley As I said in my previous post, I was making no accusations against you. The subject of our discussion is one that tends to generate dismissive and mocking comments, which I find unpleasant and inappropriate. I feared you might misunder... | |
| SR Tuning Discs, Psychoacoustic Bias and Listening Fatigue @wesheadley You seem to be conflating three distinct points. First, unconventional tweaks or other system components not grounded in scientific theory or results are likely bogus. I disagree on two counts. First, the world is a mysterious place an... |
