| The Good Stuff "There are simply two kinds of music, good music and the other kind ... the only yardstick by which the result should be judged is simply that of how it sounds. If it sounds good it's successful; if it doesn't it has failed. -- Duke Ellington" ... | |
| A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport @charles1dad: "Well I can see it both ways. 1, Better price but no audition period or option to return the component. 2, Higher price but includes ability to home audition and return for what ever reason.

| A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport Underwood, as far as I know, does not accept returns on Pro-ject. I've found showroom demos can be unreliable and while I read reviews extensively before purchasing, I'd never buy a component solely on the basis of a review, without the option t... | |

| New Dynaudio Heritage Special..?..! Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene is 9K and Silverline SR17 Supreme is 7.5K,. It's not as if the Heritage Special is in a price category of its own. I wasn't aware that affordability was a hallmark of this hobby! | |

What I'd like to know is why "Don't Let Me Down" , which IMHO is one of the better songs from those sessions, continues to be treated as non-essential, relegated to the second disc of the 2 disc set.

| Rock musicians with musical education. ... not that young hot-shots can't mature into fine artists... Ritchie Kotzen's a terrific example. Check out his Live in Japan live video on youtube. The chops are now in the service of something much greater. | |
| Rock musicians with musical education. Not clear to me whether OP is suggesting a university degree is a "better" approach to musical education or whether more "complex" (Prog, Fusion) forms of Rock are "superior" to simpler forms. "Musical education" need not be in a classroom environ... | |
| Live music you have attended that left impact....perhaps better than you expected. Bonnie Raitt, Sweet Forgiveness Tour. Late 70's. Final show of the tour and Bonnie and the band were red hot. She really strutted her stuff, showed she was much better than I'd ever realized. At the end, her dad came out and sang "Oklahoma" ! Ri... | |
