| Herbie Hancock on the Grammys Slothman, you probably won't beleive this but many people consider Pink Floyd to be commercial hacks not innovative artists. | |
| Westwood One Radio LPs Hi Gaslover, I didn't mean to denigrate your work or that of RTI. So are you saying that these lps would have very high quality sound? | |
| Westwood One Radio LPs I think the only way to determine the going price would be to put them up for auction on eBay. I am pretty sure that the sound would not be considered audiophile quality, but the music on them might be priceless. I would pay the guy a reasonable (... | |
| What Happened to CD Clubs & Stores to Buy CDs? BMG Music Club is still around and worth checking out. They are at www.bmgmusic.com | |
| future of 2 channel CD sound Two channel will be around as cds and downloads. I agree with the opinions that the sound quality of cds is limited by knowledge of how to record, master and produce a quality cd and the willingness to take the trouble to do it. I think that the s... | |
| Am I getting it all? I have had the same experience as Islandmandan. My set up is not as good though. When Michael Fremer started at Stereophile he jumped right in with his cd is crap, vinyl is so much better line. So I thought that's great, I'll get a turntable and h... | |
| Your First Concert was..... The Doors, August 1968, Cleveland Municipal Auditorium, $4Morrison was wasted and was in his provoking a riot phase. It was not what I'd hoped for musically, but it was an interesting experience. Actually, I've heard worse concerts recently becaus... | |
| Who is your favorite blues guitarist I would include many of the artists already mentioned among the best but I have to add Eric Clapton. Anyone who says he's too white or too rich is deaf. The man can play the blues. | |
| Best Source For Quality Jazz CDs? BMG Music Club always surprises me (in a good way) with the large amount of jazz they carry. Sound quality varies widely between titles, of course, but BMG cds are the same quality as cds sold anywhere else. | |
| Preamp/amp far superior to just int. amp.? Within a single manufacturers' line, spending more money will often get you better sound but not always. Also, you may have to pay a lot more money to get a small improvement in sound.Manufacturers try to avoid giving better sound for less $ in th... | |
| Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is. Lush,I think that the sound quality that a person with an ordinary income can buy today is miles ahead of what that person could buy 25 years ago and is getting better all the time. If that's not revolutionary enough for JGH let him sit in his mes... | |
| Ike Turner RIP Nice obituary Zaikesman. Ike was indeed one of the underapreciated greats. He never whined about it either. | |
| Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is. Yeah, JG Holt is a real genius. Let me see, he thinks I should buy gear that I don't like to listen to, instead of gear that makes beautiful music, IMHO, because he thinks the former is more accurate? That concept should have new listeners flockin... | |
| Best Recordable CD-R Media ??? Hi Jay, I think that Mitsui, also called MAM-A, an acronym, is considered to be among the best available. A google search will turn up vendors and discussions of the media. | |
| How Much Has CD Technology Improved in 14 Years? CD technology has definitely improved since '93. However, the change may not be significant to you. Does your old player cause listener fatigue? Many newer players are a lot easier on the ears.You will have to borrow or buy a newer player to see h... |
