| worst 'long-lived' band Maybe Bob D deserves the "Most Variable Voice Award". It's been all over the place, sometimes sounding very good while at other times almost incoherent like he gargled with broken glass. Great song writer though. | |
| worst 'long-lived' band How can any band beat "Chicago"? Their first album was great but Chicago XXX? | |
| Born to Run: Why the Poor Sound Quality? A lot of studios were getting rid of their tube stuff and "modernizing" with solid state recording equipment.IMO: That early transistor stuff was harsh. Could this have contributed to the sonics of the era? Thankfully, some Luddites kept recording... | |
| Luciano Pavarotti dead at 71 I think he'll go down as one of the best tenors ever and justifiably so. Quite a person and what a voice and he knew how to use it! RIP Luciano! | |
| are any of your friends audiophiles? I don't have a single audiophile friend. Unfortunately, a lot of people who think I'm nuts with no one to share the pain or show me some understanding. Fortunately, I manage it well and listen to a lot of music. | |
| Artists 'SELLING OUT' - can we discuss? IMO: Artists have always "sold" out, nothing new. | |
| Jennifer Warnes 20th Anniversary Fam Blue Raincoat Has anyone heard the Anniversary re-master yet? If so, what's the diagnosis? | |
| Born to Run: Why the Poor Sound Quality? The first 2/3s of the Greatest Hits has poor sound quality while the last 1/3 sounds excellent. Kind of a chronology of music as well as recording technique. | |
| How much money for your next interconnect cable??? Stewie,Can I assume that you've found blind tests for everything you've purchased or does this only apply to cables? | |
| EAR 864 V1 V3 Tube Type Anyone have contact information for Mitch Singerman? | |
| How much money for your next interconnect cable??? My point is that components, including cables, do indeed sound different. To me it's a given. Everyone is free to believe what they want to believe but why even engage in the conversation if one believes everything sounds the same? Now whether tho... | |
| How much money for your next interconnect cable??? Why would someone who maintains that all cables sound the same bother to participate in such forums? Seems like a huge waste of time. Sort of like an atheist going to church! | |
| RECOMMEDATIONS FOR AC RECEPTACLE The outlets I like best and have settled on for my system are the Oyaide R1s. Admittedly they are expensive but IMO worth every penny. I have 2 in the wall and 2 in my power strip. As always try before you buy if possible. | |
| Jennifer Warnes 20th Anniversary Fam Blue Raincoat I'll probably check out the new re-master because I'm a fan. However, I'd be surprised if it sounds better than my Private Music gold cd or my German Zounds "Best of" compilation cd. | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Got a brand new bi-wire set of Revelation speaker cables burning-in as I type this.After just a few hours they sound very good but the suggested burn-in time is 250-300 hours (note from Steve) so we shall see what extended use brings to the sonic ... |
