Washington Post article on MoFi vs. Fremer vs. Esposito
You misunderstood me. What I meant was that when I look around, I see people getting angry about things that are not that important while being oblivious to very serious problems. For example, fentanyl is pouring into our country causing untold de... 
Washington Post article on MoFi vs. Fremer vs. Esposito
Well I dont think that stating the obvious that we are lied to on a regular basis changes things one iota. Some sort of weird relativism at work evidently.  From my earlier post: I think that most people agree that MoFi did a real bad thing an... 
Late night blues
The blues purists would take my Blues Society membership card for these next recommendations, but they may fit into what you’re looking for. There is a Dutch woman who sings blues and prefers to stay local, singing in clubs around The Netherlands... 
Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ?
Are there a substantial number of well recorded performances recorded on CD which can’t be found via streaming services, or where the streaming version is sonically inferior to the CD? Unless you have a large number of rare CDs the answer to th... 
Washington Post article on MoFi vs. Fremer vs. Esposito
What concerns me most if that some members dont seem to think MoFi did anything wrong. I haven’t seen this opinion expressed much. I think that most people agree that MoFi did a real bad thing and I think that people have a valid reason to be a... 
Late night blues
I always recommend "Midnight Blue" by Kenny Burrell. Although the music is technically jazz, it has a bluesy, late-night, smoky vibe. Blues aficionados all have it in their collections.  
Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ?

CD RACK
They have been around for thirty years.  They are great racks, just remember to dust your CDs once in a while.  
I'm broke Albert Collins
Albert's sense of humor ranked right up there with his guitar playing.  He is greatly missed.  
What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers?
Should what type of music you listen to be included in the opinions?  Would light, airy, lit from within sound be desired by people who listen to chamber music, classical in general and softer jazz?   Would rock, pop and harder jazz listeners pref...

Turn up the volume!
Thankfully, its beginning to dawn on the industry that streaming doesn't allow the loudness wars, only the volume control should. I hope it is beginning to dawn on them.  I'll believe it when I hear it.  
MoFi controversy
Well, MoFi has apologized and promises to do better: mobilefidelity on Instagram: "We at Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab are aware of customer complaints regarding use of digital technology in our mastering chain. We apologize for using vague language,... 
MoFi controversy
@twoleftears Interesting article. Plenty of opportunity to mention that their modified Studer contains an analog to digital converter and why they do the transfer this way, but no mention of it at all. In the youtube video with the MoFi masterin...
