| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? The higher the price, the higher the expectation. | |
| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? Art Dudley discusses this same subject in his "Listening" article in the latest STEREOPHILE issue I received yesterday. Check it out. | |
| Latest bin find.....Elton John Two of the later albums worth a listen are Blue Moves and Rock of the Westies. I do agree that some EJ material is throw away. | |
| LA Rock station casualty tablejockey,I don't listen to radio at home. XM is strictly for the car. Actually, during the summer I activate XM for a portable radio. Although I don't use the portable radio much, for $5 a month it comes in handy around the pool. | |
| LA Rock station casualty I heard that my old favorite local FM rock station (KFOG) changed to programmed music (DJ-free) some time ago. Fortunately, I switched to XM Radio a long time ago. XM is the best $12.99 (monthly) that I have ever spent. I could never go back to FM... | |

Also, I'm sorry about AJ Conti's passing. However, I know there are many products being introduced daily by many pillars of the audio world that are covered in the... | |

| CD players = dead? Now that most of us have all the music on CD that we ever wanted, many would like us to believe that that medium is dead, much like vinyl a decade ago. Look, CDs are not as sexy as vinyl and not as transparent as some downloaded music, but they're... | |
| Mislabeled album Like anything else, it's worth whatever someone else will pay for it. I can't imagine that it's worth much but some collector might want it as a novelty. Personally, I'd rather hear the other side of "Pretzel Logic" than something by Rita Coolidge... | |
| Sgt.Pepper special on PBS If this thread interests you, there's a special on called "The Beach Boys: The Making of Pet Sounds" which (obviously) explores Brian Wilson's masterpiece. Unlike the Beatles, who collaborated on Sgt Peppers, this Beach Boys movie reveals the geni... | |
| The new re-mix of Sgt. Pepper's Consensus seems to be positive. I'll look for a copy. How is the CD being marketed? Is it part of a box set, or a standalone? |
