| Eva Cassiday Blew Me Away with her cover of Wayfaring Stranger.... She could sing any style of music and do it better than the foremost performer in that style. And therein lies the reason she never attracted a big record contract. Producers couldn’t pigeonhole her in any one genre to market her. Simply the b... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados When in my early twenties I literally wore out the grooves of three or four vinyl records of the Mozart Requiem playing it every day. To me the greatest of all requiems and some of the greatest music ever written. | |

We know what’s happening on the screen or stage is not actually taking place but we suspend our disbelief so th... | |
| How much “suspension of disbelief do you need?” sgreg1, ”If you think your listening skills are superior to all others and only you can hear that difference goid for you. The rest of us will just enjoy the music the way we like it,” I don’t know where you get that impression. I’ve never said... | |
| Speakers vs. headphones I hate to say it, but I now find listening with my headphones a more immersive experience than listening with my speakers. Maybe it’s the novelty, but I find I’m getting more involved in the music through headphones. There’s a more immediate and... | |

| Speakers vs. headphones Maybe ignorance is bliss, because I’m enjoying my mid level headphone system immensely. I’m currently listening to Mahler’s 8th Symphony on headphones. Despite the marked superiority of my speaker system, I never before perfectly heard as clearly... |
