| 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... | |

| 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... | |

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... | |

| 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... | |
| the paradox of accurate speakers Accuracy in speakers is not an absolute that a speaker is either accurate or not, it is a spectrum with less accurate warm and mushy on one end and less accurate hard and grainy on the other. The middle part of the spectrum is nominal accurate, bu... | |
| Analog vs. digital segment on PBS They couldn't do Lp vs cd, everyone would have known which was which by the pops and crackles:)I have read a few reviews of cd players lately where the reviewer states that the sound of the cd was close to if not equal to the sound of the vinyl ve... |
