The larger the CD collection, the better the excuse to resist.If the average audiophile is in their 50's or 60's, they've already been thru five fo... | |

| Do we ask too much of our audio systems? Anyone involved with photography knows that a camera cannot totally capture what the human eye sees; so, the same goes for our ears when comparing an audio system to a live concert or being a fly on the wall in a recording studio.So, I guess it c... | |
| What kind of listener are you? @barts, I completely agree that a new piece of equipment or added tweak causes more analytical listening. But, perhaps we should substitute the adjective "scientific" for "analytical" listening, as we are obviously trying to prove to ourselves tha... | |
| Wow an old album that rocked your world @nitrobob, I flew to Baltimore last March to catch a Crack The Sky acoustic show at The Baltimore Soundstage. They were backed by a 5 piece string quartet and the show was fantastic. John Palumbo said they were taping the show; but, it has yet to ... | |
