| Why is it so easy to tell the difference between live and recorded music? Aside from the fact is the listener usually knows beforehand if what they are listening to is live or not, it’s not always so easy assuming a good setup and good recording to go with it. There are often many clues in a studio recording that will g... | |
| The Moody Blues - "Seventh Sojourn" Moody Blues finished second behind Bon Jovi in HOF voting. Both well ahead of the others. They better get the nod. Patrick Moraz should get inducted with them but we'll see about that. Maybe Pinder would join them and perform at an in... | |
| Most overrated bands I've tried hard to appreciate Beck but with limited results. I just don't get most of what he tries to do musically. | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? Jimspov, Gramophone stores in Maryland recently added Klipsch Heritage and had a few models set up for demo. Nice add!As I mentioned above, I recently heard Klipsch Forte and Heresy 3 models there. Both passed with flying colors for me. Heresy... | |

| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? Kosst I’m referring mainly to the heritage line. Have not heard the others enough to judge meaningfully. | |
| Michael Fremer's system I did find it interesting that he made no attempt to explain why things sounded good. They just did. To him. That’s fine for him but not very helpful for his readers. Whatever few are still listening probably do not care either. Now look though, h... | |
| Michael Fremer's system Very nice for that room. Lots of good sounding records. That tone arm looks like the bomb. Way too pricey for me though. I bet the fuses are nice too! 😉 | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? Having heard the newer Klipsch offerings, I’m going to go out on a limb and say horns need no longer be so controversial. Affordable good sounding ones are out there. Like anything else some will like them and some will not. Their clear advantage ... | |
