| any new Beatle fans because of the remasters? One must understand that the curmudgeon must raise its head from time to time to catch some air. Levy03,I'm afraid you've unwittingly given them another opportunity.IMO: Your original post was more than reasonable but seems its been sabotaged. | |
| Wadia 270/27ix vs. Sonic Frontiers T3/P3 Just some related thoughts. Sonics aside, because that's a personal matter, the Wadias are built like tanks. The 270SE has a better platter mechanism than the 270 if you can find one.The pre-amp vs. direct is very system dependent. Both approaches... | |
| US vs Japanese Beatles remasters Mapman,Not necessarily. Sometimes true, sometimes not. | |
| Do you ever wonder? These lists are so personal and idiosyncratic that they're just about meaningless. One person loves Norah Jones while another detests her. Both are right, there's really no argument. One person likes chunky peanut butter, another likes smooth, whi... | |

| Tubes for Eastern Electric CD Have you cleaned all your cable contacts lately? I'd try that before worrying about the tubes. | |
| best vocal harmonies in rock Not all, but some Grateful Dead. These guys could go from sublime to ridiculous as far as harmony goes but when they were good they were very good. | |
| Been listening to The Beatles ... Listened to Abbey Road the other night. For the most part I thought it sounded excellent but IMO there are few places that could use a bit more help, no pun intended. | |
| Distortion on Giant Steps? I think the piano distortion on Giant Steps is in the original recording and can't be eliminated. Maybe the mike was too close or the tape was being overloaded. | |
| Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker Wondering about the difference between Gamma Summit and regular Summit. Intuitive Designs net site is not very helpful and could definitely use some work. Also, could someone address the weight of these speakers?Thanks! | |
| Been listening to The Beatles ... I purchased stereo versions of everything from Revolver and Rubber Soul on up. Have only listened to Revolver and Rubber Soul so far. IMHO: They sound much better than any other versions I've heard so far.Although I wouldn't characterize them as b... | |
