The Ventriloquism of Keith Jarrett
I can’t take Keith’s or a lot of other people’s vocalizations. I listened to his music long ago until I made the mistake of getting a video of a performance. He was moaning and looked like he was in great pain. I couldn't see how he was playing th... 
Many of us want to Changegrade instead of Upgrading
When you get your system to make music that without doubt satisfies you, you can changegrade.  Until then you have to upgrade.  
Lamont Dozier Passes Away
They can't write them like that anymore. RIP  
Recent MOFI debacle
Exactly.  Said much better than I managed.  
Recent MOFI debacle
Companies that serve the audiophile community test their recordings and equipment with devices that produce specs beyond what audiophiles should be able to perceive. However, if recordings contain frequencies beyond the limit of human hearing, re... 
Jude-not Julian Lennon
IIRC, Paul came up with the idea for the song while driving out to visit Cynthia and Julian during the period when John was ignoring them.  He used the name Jude because Jules would be too obvious, obviously.  Paul has also said that John Lennon t...

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 ?
Some people prefer physical formats. If you have a good sized collection of CDs and SACDs that you will play occasionally, it might be worth your time and money to upgrade your SACD player. If you’re really100% committed to vinyl, you should put ...
