What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need
ELIZABETH IS A STOOGE FOR THE RIAA. Unbelievable, but I personally believe it to be true. I have only one question - how much do they pay you to tout your "personal" opinions? Opinions so outrageous and at odds with existing laws that the RIAA cou... 
What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need
Elizabeth, this is Gillian Welch's response to your way of thinking: Everything is free now, That's what they say. Everything I ever loved, I'm going to give it away. Someone hit the big score. They figured it out, That we're gonna do it anyway, E... 
The 5 Jazz Recordings You Would Take With You...
This is clearly a pre-iPod type question. 
do blind tests have any practical significance
On a related topic, it's well known that if by accident or otherwise you lose the use of one of your senses that the remaining senses become more acute. That being the case, has any audiophile out there tried poking out their eyes to improve their... 
Are the Beatles the reason why modern music exists
Music has been a cultural force long before the Beatles. I'm more in the Ben C. school of it being a long chain going back years, but if I had to name one person who influenced 20th century popular music (English language only) the most it would b...

Proac 3.8's vs Spendor SP100's

Why is my amp requiring as much volume gain?
The difference in wattage output translates to less than 3dB in added volume potential. That's only a little bit louder at full volume. It's just not a dramatic difference. 
Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's?
Aplhifi, I'm glad to hear that computer audio has a future since virtually ever disc released today is recorded, mixed and/or mastered via a computer based system. 
All the Roadrunning by Mark Knopfler and Emmy Lou
If you like Emmylou's recent work with Willie Nelson, then you'll probably like this. Not great, but very good. The recording is clean with a modern sound, it's not horrible by any means. Knopfler is not a great sounding vocalist and this album hi... 
Duke Ellington
"The Duke Ellington Reader" by Mark Tucker is a great place to start as far as biographical material goes. Musically much of his best material is not particularly well recorded, but there are exceptions, "This One's For Blanton" and "Jazz Party In...

I would recommend "Live On the Queen Mary". 
what is the difference between good and bad music
I give up, I don't know. 
What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need
Herman, the law is sometimes bizarre and yes, you can have it both ways. In some instances how you get there is legally more important than the result. An example, if I reverse engineer a computer chip's functionality, it's legal. If I copy the ac...
