| Greatest Songwriter of all time I thought Dylan was excluded since he had his own thread and, obviously, his own special place in songwriting. So I have four. Put me down for Dylan. This is a fun party game, but, again, I find myself wondering why have such lists. Are music writ... | |
| Greatest Songwriter of all time Jacques Brel, Cole Porter, Tom Waits. | |
| Best CD's of 2001: Classical Thak you Mr. Sdcampbell, you are a gentlemen, a scholar and a connoisseur of fine recordings. | |
| TOTALLY CONFUSED about analog Now I'm totally confused. Aaron Copeland was an analogue-type guy? And analogue can get me more emotionally involved with the music, but, if I understand, not with classical music, since you would not buy an LP collecton of classical music and, th... | |
| TOTALLY CONFUSED about analog The son of a lawyer I worked with lent me a copy years ago and, honestly, I did not get very far in my reading it. I've read so many articles on music and audio over the years that I probably have some patchwork equivalent in my brain. Why? | |
| TOTALLY CONFUSED about analog I have always been almost maniacal in my care of LPs. And yes I listen to a lot of classical and jazz, but believe me blues is often heard in my room and rock also. As to the source of my disdain for surface noise, true enough solo flute or classi... | |
| Odd shaped speakers Did I actually use the word "waffling" as in "waffle"? Unintentional, I assure you. Maybe my obssession is more with food than with audio? Can one of the psychoanalists frequenting this site tell me which is worse: the audio or the food one? | |
| Odd shaped speakers Bacon frying was actually mentioned the first time by Bishopwill in the thread started by someone on the ground floor, so to speak, of the analogue/vinyl thing (although I have used the expression in the past). The ham thing, I borrowed from anoth... | |
| Odd shaped speakers Fam124, such spiritual words. What do you mean exactly? What is the human avocation to ascribing qualities to things, animals and persons based on their physical properties (like garden-hosed sized speaker cables obviously producing better bass be... | |
| TOTALLY CONFUSED about analog Psychicanimal, I make no promises, but this is the last from me on the never ending analogue/vinyl vs. digital/CD debate: on the inherent musicality of a system as judged by a third party who is not into this audiophile thing, I can take the case ... | |
| Microacoustics 2002e cartridge Obviously should have read "Those were the days!" . It's better to read it before you post it. Oops... | |
| Microacoustics 2002e cartridge Electret indeed. Just goes to show that there is more than one way to skin a cat, or to produce a cartridge. Sort of strange that MCs get all the attention and are so well represented within the "survivor" ranks of cartridgedom. Now if someone cou... | |
| TOTALLY CONFUSED about analog David 99. Please tell me what is a good analog front end and I will make every attempt to hear it. Please tell me if such a rig will give me a system where I can enjoy even the silence integral to music and delicate instruments such as solo classi... | |
| TOTALLY CONFUSED about analog Sedond, any digital at any price? Analog/vinyl reproduction is a system that is flawed from the get-go. Our ears must be really different and I am not proposing that mine are in any way superior. Strange thing, my wife can be in the car while I am... | |
| Are more expensive speakers better? Hi there. I have now an upgrade kit for my previous post. The parts are the following: " " . Please insert one before the expression mid-fi and one after the expression mid-fi. Please make sure that the polarity of these sensitive semi-passive lex... |
