| GREAT MUSIC - SO POORLY RECORDED... Truth is high end audio reproduction equipment does not lie. While it is the true joy of the hobby to hear the marriage of great music with great recordings I sill can enjoy the music poorly recorded. Art for arts sake. 10CC fans can finish this s... | |
| Great musicians who should have been famous except.... All great drummers in the suggestions. My 2 cents are as follows.

| Vindication at Last! Well done rel. I thought it was funny and creative. | |
| Soliciting Member Perspectives: Levinson vs Bryston vs Audio Research I have a great opinion of ARC only because I have owned a SP3-A1 for 36 years. I also own a D100B. With Maggie’s 1.7I speakers, I can’t say enough about the combo of the old classics with the new technology speakers. The Cambridge CD player the 1/... |
