| In a 3-Piece Band: Bass or Drum? It's not so much the instruments themselves, but the role they play. For instance, a bass typically provides harmonic underpinning and rhythm. Organ pedals, tuba, piano and guitar can be readily substituted. For most groups you want an instrument ... | |

| When is digital going to get the soul of music? There was a story about a recording session in Stereophile where the engineer used 3 different mediums for recordings, hi-rez digital, redbook digital and analog tape. The performers, engineer and others compared the results and they all concluded... | |
| upgrde to maggie 3.6 or i.6 with better amplifier Upgrade to the 1.6QR and get a full function Hovland preamp. It should cost you less $3000, net. Then upgrade the cartridge. | |
| Using Double Preamplification vs X10D V3 Call me old fashioned, but I believe in the sanctity of the single preamp system. It may be that on the east or west coast that sort of dual preamp behavior passes as normal, but here in the Midwest it's, dare I sound un-PC, unnatural. I hereby re... | |
| Using Double Preamplification vs X10D V3 It is not closed minded to reject schemes that fly in the face of basic engineering/system design. Ask yourself this question -- "Is your solution the simplest solution that addresses the problem?" With the extra interconnects, rack space requirem... | |
| Using Double Preamplification vs X10D V3 It sounds like there is something seriously wrong with your system and you're using a band-aid approach to treat the symptom rather than address the root cause. Just because it works doesn't mean it's right. | |
| iPod Help AIFF vs. WAV vs. Appleloss Less You'll quickly run into problems with how your files are organized of the computer you're using to download to the iPods. It can be done, but multiple formats can get complicated. As a practical matter 40 hrs. of music is quite a large amount of m... | |
| Diff in recording/reproduction in Analog/CD/SACD Vinyl is only a distant cousin to 30 ips 1/2" analog tape. There is an enormous loss of information going from high speed wide format analog tape to vinyl. Redbook digital sucks, but the best that can be said about vinyl is that it sucks a little ... | |
| The Debate's Not Over Surf music did change the world. The most visionary and politically radical statement ever made in rock (prior to the rap epoch) was penned by Brian Wilson's.If everybody had an ocean...We'd be surfin' U.S.A.Nothing produced by Boeing, Disney or M... | |
| The Debate's Not Over Did Dylan ever write as good a love song as "My Girl"? If you doubt me, text message Bob and ask him.Actually the best all-time greatest lyricist was Johnny (ooh-we) Mercer, at least that's what my momma done told me. | |
| The Debate's Not Over Mick Taylor is still alive, still touring and still recording.DC5 still made the better movie.So Hendrix liked Dylan, so what, who doesn't. But did Led Zeppelin start every band rehearsal/warm up with a Dylan song? I think not! And I don't think i... | |
| Isolation of my chair, am I crazy??? I would think that isolating the listening chair from floor borne vibration could have some positive effect. It's as plausible as some of the other "effects" I've read around here. | |
| Hey, we don't get no respect $12,000 is a ridiculous amount of money to spend on a speaker. In any field the state of the art will always be expensive, but I've gotten sick and tire of hearing how components costing $10,000+ are described as "a bargain" just because they don'... |
