| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? In 1982, I bought one of the first Sony CD players made. For the next 20 years, I played nothing but CDs (even when they were going for $30 a pop). Then I went back to vinyl, combined with SACD. I still consider myself an audiophile - I believe... | |
| Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ?? I gave my son a pair of Magnepan MMG's which he uses in a small room in his apartment in NYC. They sound fine. Go with the Maggies. | |
| Why are audiophiles perceived as being wackos? People I speak to are always in awe at the amount I spend on equipment, vinyl and SACDs. I have a two systems with excellent equipment - and I've given a ton of equipment to my three sons. I have roughly 2000 CDs/SACDs and 1000 LPs. If you figur... | |

| Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz. Sounds like you would like progressive jazz more than traditional jazz.Surprised that no one has mentioned Pat Metheny Group.Many have mentioned Weather Report. Also Carla Bley - especially the earlier albums with large groups. | |
