| How to make low end digital sound "not terrible" on higher end systems? Maybe try a forgiving all-in-one system with some forgiving bookshelf speakers for background music and listening to your poor sounding cds. Keep your good recordings separate from the bad ones. | |
| A song murdered by someone. I for one greatly prefer that version to the better known recording that was done in the 1960s by the Righteous Brothers. Not me. The Righteous Brothers version has way more soul. Bobby Hatfield kills it. It makes Al’s sound like Wonder Bread.ht... | |
| Back Where I Should Be; The Acoustic Zen Adagio, Round 2 Thanks for the extensive review. I’m glad you found your speaker, dog. Enjoy the hell out of it! | |
| Simon and Garfunkel "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" MOFI UD1S If the MoFi makes Art sound like Paul, I would demand my money back. That is one badly mastered album. | |

| Why aren't new vacuum tubes as good as old ones? Audio components that measure the best do not necessarily sound the best.

| Art Dudley compares CD Players sevs, If someone prefers vinyl to digital, that’s fine. If a professional reviewer describes in detail how great cds sound on the player he’s reviewing and then states elsewhere that he doesn’t like the sound of cds, that’s dishonest. | |
| Art Dudley compares CD Players Reading Art Dudley reviews of cd players is a total waste of time. He’ll give a cd player a great review and then in the next issue he’ll write in his column about how lousy cds sound. I guess the people at Stereophile think that we can’t remember... | |
| SQ lacking How big is your bedroom? You don’t have those speakers on each side of your bed do you? You're going to have to clear out some room for your speakers to work. I don't think room correction will be much help until you get some open space between y... | |
