| Happy Birthday Bob Marley @mackintosh1 "other artists are still trying to repeat his style, but it doesn’t work. And all because it had a soul and the text with music came from the heart" Bob Marley quote: "Jah wrote all those songs" | |
| Audio nonsense @eworkflow "In short, listening, adjusting/experimenting to A/B comparing, and ending up with YOUR acceptable compromises, is the only process worth trying; disputing or arguing it here is a complete waste of time. Reporting it, however, should ... | |
| Audio nonsense Addressed to the anti-tweakers: If your true intent is to prevent people from being taken advantage of-- if that is your sincere impulse and you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that product xyz cannot and does not work-- deriding others is a ver... | |
| Why is most everything remastered? My experience has been extremely varied-- some remasters sound better to me and some sound worse. I made the mistake of buying the version of Layla most favored on the Steve Hoffman site (a Japanese SHM) and found it unlistenably bright. My sys... | |
| Madman! Digital vs Vinyl Why not choose one format, play Elton John and simply enjoy the music? | |

| Eric Clapton reveals this week of his declining health Here's a track from Cream's reunion tour that shows what Clapton is capable of in the right company. Gorgeous soloing that transcends typical Blues/Rock playing. . . | |
| What is an audiophile? Are you an audiophile? @minorl I've never enjoyed music more than when I was 8 years old, listening to WABC on a transistor radio in bed on cold winter nights. To me, it's the physical/emotional/spiritual connection with music that I most treasure-- in the end it's f... | |
| Eric Clapton reveals this week of his declining health @onhwy61 Yes; and furthermore, G. Baker always felt his contributions to arrangements were overlooked and deserved financial compensation (royalties). He remained very bitter about this. And, the constant touring, in addition to being physically... | |
| Eric Clapton reveals this week of his declining health @jafant Thanks! Just how I hear it. A quick listen to Jack Bruce's first two solo albums illustrates a range and sophistication that far exceeds what one typically encounters in Blues/Rock.It would've been interesting had Cream stayed together ... | |
