| Chicago Transit Authority This is somewhat off topic, but there's a terrific Russian/eastern European Chicago cover band that has videos up on youtube. To be honest, I've never cared particularly for Chicago, but when these guys play it, I sure like it! Some of you might... | |
| How many of you are digital only systems? @yermajesty:I'm sorry-- I'm afraid I'm no help in that regard as I'm firmly wedded to the physical medium of CDs. Having to interact with yet another electronic screen holds little appeal for me. Plus, I'm old-fashioned (and old) -- I like being a... | |
| Listening to digital and analog @yeti42: "To me, analog is more textured and real sounding, (some, or many may not agree) but does that mean it’s not possible to enjoy digital sound? On the contrary, I must adapt a different way of listening that doesn’t actively compare the ... | |
| How many of you are digital only systems? @yermajesty:"In my experience, digital did sound harsh . . . in the early days of CDs." Yeah; my first Sony CDP in the early 90's sounded terribly metallic and shrill. I switched to a Denon, which was definitely better but nothing like my current... | |
| Marty Stuart on Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: ... and of course, there have always been players who've had a more scholarly/musicological bent-- Bloomfield and Garcia, for example. I've seen R. Ford a half dozen times. The only time I saw J. Mitchell was when I lived in Santa Barbara-- I saw... | |
| Marty Stuart on Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: @bdp24:Wow-- you were certainly in the right place at the right time!I grew up in NY state and Woodstock was close by, but I was just a little too young (in jr. H. S.) at the time. The father of one of my classmates was an MD and he had the discti... | |
| How many of you are digital only systems? @mozartfan:"I am tube cd player for life"Although I now use a Moon transport coupled with an r2r Aqua DAC, I had a Jolida JD100 for many years and very much enjoyed it | |

| Marty Stuart on Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: @roxy54:Thanks for your kind words. In retrospect, I believe I presented the differences in too much of a black-and-white fashion. After all, every songwriter has to have a "journalistic" eye for detail as well as a sense of how the present momen... | |
| Marty Stuart on Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: @bdp24:" Both The Band and Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers toured with Dylan, and live recordings of some shows were released on albums. Compare the two. Both bands are playing similar music, in some cases the same songs. Which band do you thin... | |
| Marty Stuart on Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: @bdp24:"I know when I make my own statements (as apposed to Marty making his), I should use the term "my favorite" instead of "the best". But to tell you the truth, I choose to do that for a reason: I do it when I feel to do so is the only way I c... | |

| What are some good sources for buying new LPs and CDs I haven't found that shipping snafus are solely associated with Amazon or Amazon Marketplace sellers by any means! I've had issues with orders from Ebay, Discogs and ImportCDs too. Send your thanks to Mr. DeJoy-- don't blame sellers. I've also had... | |
| How many of you are digital only systems? ... these, in particular::" i personally would not hang my hat on one type of source being inherently superior to another - just too many exceptions, too many variables"... especially given that the ears/brains taking in what the source is putti... | |
