Whats on your turntable tonight?
Huey Lewis and the News- SportsNot my cup of tea. My wife bought it while I was buying "good" stuff at a used record store. Have to say, SQ is quite good and most of the songs on it were hits. 
Personal vs. Market Values
Agreed, but that striving can become a treadmill with a carrot in front of it if you can't find some level of satisfaction. As a foodie I have spent years trying things and cooking things outside of my comfort zone to attain those "acquired tastes... 
Amsued To Death - Roger Waters CD
In college we were hungry for a follow-up to The Wall. I bought The Final Cut on vinyl right when it came out and I liked it. I do not have it anymore but will give it a listen. It is my understanding that it was all Water's.Did not care for anyth...

16f4, good points. There are also people who get a soapy unpleasant taste from cilantro. However, in the case of cilantro and truffles these folks don't necessarily have a "better" sense of taste. They may be "deficient" in other areas. So how the... 
WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES THINK YOU ARE BRAGGING WHEN YOU ARE SHARING?
I'm in the business myself. Very few people who are really 'nuts' ever think they are nuts. ;-)

I've seen truffle oil with truffle physically in it. So there may be variations. 
Amsued To Death - Roger Waters CD
I will have to check it out. Have never heard it. However, in my small collection I have one other CD in Q Sound. It is Sting's The Soul Cages and SQ and soundstage are remarkable. 
Dear Audiogon,
I can't speak for the admins or the owners but it is their website. It they want political ads and no political discussion that is entirely their prerogative. But, I bet those are browser ads. I've seen them too.....but only on Audiogon.There have...

uberwaltz, agree about August and Everything After. That album sounded so original and groundbreaking to me when it came out. Still love it.

erik, sorry that this has taken a decidedly foodie turn.....but that's not entirely our fault. ;-)For what its worth I agree with your point completely.whart, I own 250 acres in central SC. It has a fairly large creek bottom in which we find morel... 
... thoughts on Taylor Swift's REPUTATION CD...
Nice. There were other good versions on the list but always good to see that someone still knows how to do it.Which makes me wonder if someone could make money re-engineering new music for audiophiles? I can't see that it would cost the artists an... 
MFSL CDs: Dumb Questions
Not a problem. The original question has been answered. Will look into the cover, sounds interesting. 
Why Does All Music Sound the Same; An Explanation
I just got The Struts new CD Young and Dangerous released on the 26th. I've mentioned before that this is a new band that I like. It is glam/pop/rock. Their first CD was highly compressed and loud as heck. This album has some slightly more serious...

I'm a foodie and a fairly serious one. On a recent trip to Italy (to eat and research) I tried truffles several times. For some reason they had just never been on my gastronomic radar. I love mushrooms and morels (which grow on my property). On ea...
