As much as I try, I just don't get it........
@eganmedia  you have it exactly correct.  I concur 100%.Also, the store that used an MP3 file connected via a phone does indeed make for a baseline of comparison.  However, for a store to use that as a source to demonstrate products of such a high... 
High end stereo preamps? Worth it?
I used a Marantz AV-8802A pre/processor as my preamp and home theater system processor.  I knew it was a very good theater processor but I also knew there was better hi-fidelity I should have for my musical, 2-channel play time.  I had already cha...

@nicks25   Great to hear that your surgery went well.  Stick to the PT and all will be good.  Based on my multiple injuries, surgeries and PT, I highly recommend doing 24 PT sessions.  Three time per week, for 8 weeks.Best to you!Jefferson Airplan... 
You can Vote for Most Valuable Lead Vocals (Rock Groups)
Janis JoplinWould Big Brother & The Holding Co. ever have sold so many albums without Janis?  I believe that Janis was an exceptionally valuable lead vocals for their success.There are so many other examples.  For the sake of this thread, thou...

I so often get ideas from this thread about what to play next (providing it is in my collection).  So for today I just pulled out Poco "Legend" and Robert Plant "Shakin N Stirred".  My Poco copy is a MFSL that I have owned since it was first relea...

@ctwith3  I also have a Chinook.  It's really an excellent phono stage.  I can't imagine a better phono stage without having to spend double the price.  Maybe I should listen to my copy of Aqualung (Steve Wilson remix) on my new speakers.  Maybe I...

Yes, the Steven Wilson remaster of Aqualung is great, too.  Looking for even greater, though, I recently placed on order the forthcoming UHQR  45 RPM on 200 gr vinyl, remaster of Aqualung from Acoustic Sound and QRP.  It's supposed to ship this we...

James, is your Tull - Stand Up an original or the reissue?Just wondering.In January I bought the reissue, remixed and mastered by Steven Wilson in 2016 on Parlophone Records.  It's quite good.  Very quiet vinyl and a really good remix.  And the "s... 
Have you changed your mind about a brand? Was it you, or them?
I thought that metal tweeters was the way to go.  I bought Mirage M-3Si quite a number of years ago.  At first, the big open sound was great.  But after some time it began to bother me; way too bright.  Raising children and paying for higher educa...

I know that you guys have moved well past the comments on James Taylor, Flag.  I just got to it last night.  Wonderful album of music.  Fantastic SQ.  I'll be playing that one again fairly soon.  Great find in my collection, and for free, too!Ambr...

You guys talking about James Taylor got me looking for a long forgotten JT record I have.  I got it in 1979, a "Promo Only - Ownership Reserved by CBS" that I got from the Columbia Records sales rep back when I was in hi-fi retail.  I don't think ...
