| Quincy Jones Interview Sorry, I have to disagree humbly. It is well documented that the beetles weren't very good musicians. However, set that aside for a minute. When you put excellent musicians that spent their life in classical or other music training in the same ... | |
| Diana Krall I enjoy good music and good playing and good singing. Diana Krall uses some of the best musicians and she plays piano pretty well also. I can tell you that in my opinion many of her songs are quite good and are the quality that I can listen to y... | |
| 20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017 What Bob Carver did in his challenge was to engineer an amp that copied to the best he could the transfer function of more expensive high end amps that people really liked. And he did it well.enjoy | |

As I mentioned previously, a lot of the explanations regarding problems in sonic performance are really technical in nature. When people start off a conversation with "I think" the hair on the back of my neck rise.What are the facts? That is the... | |
