| Would You Like to Make Your CD's Sound Better @phillyb What do you use to buff with and in which direction -- in a circle or across the disk? How often do disks need this treatment? Finally, does this wax have a strong scent? | |
| What's the point of reviewing? @voodoolounge I would never buy a component based solely upon a review but that doesn’t, in my mind, render them useless. When contemplating an upgrade, my approach is to gather as many impressions/opinions as I can about products I might consid... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister Another.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYQxX1XDd5g | |
| Monitors @bumpy48 Are you, in essence, asking whether upgrading in pursuit of finer and finer levels of resolution can lead to fatiguing sound? | |
| Jazz for aficionados Unfortunately, there are few opportunities to hear top-tier live Jazz unless one lives in a major city and even that is no guarantee. For example, my wife and I are Dave Holland fans and we were able to see his Quintet (3 times), his Big Band and ... | |

| Should I steer clear of class D amps @nosleeptilldownload Don’t Audio advisor and Crutchfield sell NAD? If so, you can get one with a trial period and refund option. Listen for yourself in your room and decide ! | |
| Stereophile and the love of hotel decor @dekay I'll admit that I do have a soft spot for 70's/80's Howard Johnson's carpet ... but does your room smell like fried clams???????? | |
| Am I defective? @edcyn Is it a blessing or a curse to be moved to great lengths by a piece of art, music or any other purely creative endeavor? Are purely creative works wastes of time or truly key to the survival of the species? As for the survival of the s... | |
| What does it take to be a die hard Beatles fan? @onhwy61 Yeah, I’m aware of that. But somewhere along the line, the thought that EC also soloed in "Something" gained traction in my brain and never left. I have no explanation as to why/how. @tylermunns I was willing to accept that I was wr... | |
| Burn in vs perception @falconquest The conspiracy-minded would say the manufacturer is simply peddling snake-oil and taking advantage of people dumb enough to believe in fairy tales... or something to that effect -- the main point being that they are too smart to be ... | |
