| Review: Cable shootout Nordost, Purist, Synergistic, MIT Speaker cable This is a really well-written and thoughtfully presented review. I appreciate the intent of the very first paragraph, as well as many other personal touches that qualified your statements with personal preferences. I find reviews like yours to be ... | |
| Why no Tori Amos I agree, Wildoats; constructive criticism and comments about music can certainly provide some guideance in the vastness of what is out there. However what I was suggesting is that you need no one to tell you "Kate blows Tori away". Were you to fol... | |
| Why no Tori Amos Great conversation folks....thank you! Man, what a different approach we have Ben. The respect is mutual, yet I'm still struggling a bit to understand your perspective. I actively avoid reading criticism, especially about the arts. No, I'd put lit... | |
| Why no Tori Amos Wildoats - my point about criticism is that good and bad are entirely relative to the individual. They are on a sliding scale and not absolute. What bugs me is when people phrase things in the form of absolutes as if their opinions are not just op... | |
| Why no Tori Amos Enjoy some Dylan, and Guthrie too. Listen to some Beatles, and to Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters. Tori and Bush. I give none a higher rung on the ladder of my appreciation, in listening to any one of them, simply for the sake that they came up wi... | |
| How to clean tubes I let my wife polish my tube any ol' time she pleases.....company, or not!Marco | |
| Why no Tori Amos Ben - Thanks for taking the time to coment. By the fact that you need to qualify your statement, I'm thinking that you may have misunderstood the point I was trying to make in my post. That point was, whatever infleuences either Kate Bush or Tori ... | |
| Why no Tori Amos I do also love Tori Amos' music. I've seen her in concert three times and enjoyed each profoundly. She is an amazing musician, along with being a charismatic performer. Made me wish I were a piano bench watching the way she grinds that thing! I th... | |
| Sell or keep my Turntable Great thread indeed...I sold all my LP's! Thanks David! So they are sold - No more emails please, and thank you for all who wrote. There's a good reason for keeping your turntable Steve - 369 LP's for the price of 10 CD's!! Not bad!Marco | |
| Sell or keep my Turntable Thanks for the charitable restraint 4yanx! Since you ask, I'll take the opportunity to make a shameless ad here since software ads are free anyway: Sure, you or anyone can unburden me of the LP chain around my ankle. As long as I don't have to mak... | |
| Sell or keep my Turntable I'll play your devil's advocate among this crowd. 150 LP's is not exactly a massive collection, though what they mean to you may be an entirely different story. I sold my turntable rig that I'd had and upgraded several times since 1985. I tried an... | |
| If Money Were No Object... A Fantasy Question I'd have pretty close to the same damn simple SET/horns system I already have, build a better room for listening that is isolated from the rest of the house, put some towards music, music, music, and put the very significant balance towards far mo... | |

| Hasselblad 503CW or Bronica SQ-Ai You beat me to the punch Albert! I think AudioAsylum has even got a "Wine" section on there now don't they? That "What Car do Audiophiles drive" thread has more responses than the majority of audio-related threads. BTW, I love my F5 as well, and w... | |
| Hasselblad 503CW or Bronica SQ-Ai I've been a professional photographer for over twenty years now. Been shooting constantly since I was about six (1966). Most of my work currently is in Advertising and Photographic Illustration. If you're interested you can see some samples of my ... |
