Granted, ma... | |
| Best Guitar CD Recording Beware: These recommendations are based on performance and not on sound quality. The problem here is if you are not into vinyl it would be hard for me to say what the CD's would glean as I don't posses them. Sorry.A great acoustic rock performance... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Wow Rushton, L.A.Woman?! thatÂs a departure from your usual excellent classic repertoire. I was starting to wonder if you had any pop rock titles :^) Just having fun with you! I like the Doors and was lucky enough to pick a copy up of L.A.Woman o... | |
| Are reviewers biased towards equipment they own? Would it make any sense for a reviewer or common Audiophile for that matter to not be biased toward equipment that they own? One needs a point of reference hopefully our Hifi gear reflects the quality of music that we like to hear. I don't buy equ... | |

| The last 5 ????? Prey tell, If I listen to those new fangled little shiny silver discs of sterile acoustics, unrealistic blackness and the edgy nervous jittering of 1's and 0's will they allow me to not be so dedicated to my listening?! Gee-whiz I can have a wirel... | |
| The last 5 ????? Dear snobbery JD, I for one found your thread and point of view quite interesting and not like mine and I think it's safe to say, that it has generated mostly stimulating responses. I wouldn’t think of approaching this subject in the manner on whi... | |

| The last 5 ????? This is indeed a grand thread. I apologize for the Zappa lyrics earlier if it left anyone offended or confused to my intention. It was an abstract response (yes, poking a little fun) to how abstract I personally find it of trying to quantify seemi... | |

| This time the "HYPE" is true: Monk/Coltrane CD. Just listened to the Mosaic vinyl of this grand pairing. Wow, that was sure satisfying. I would agree that "Well, this time all the HYPE is true!" Glad they rescued this one from the dust bunny lateen shelves of our archives. Happy Listening! |
