| 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... | |

| rising audio equipment prices: I agree with dweller, we're getting older and have more disposable income. What better place to spend it than on frivolous stereo equipment? Sorry, but it is true (for me, at least). You can't take it with you. | |
| CD players = dead? A sad commentary, but true nonetheless. | |
| The new re-mix of Sgt. Pepper's I bought a standalone copy (not a box set) and I concur that it does sound different, in a good way. I listened in the car and I had to turn down the rear subwoofer to keep the doors from rattling (seriously). Nice job on the remix! For anyone on ... | |
| John Atkinson's thoughts on the New Vandersteen System Nine from LA Show I'm glad that you're so excited about the new Vandersteen speakers and Basis table. 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... | |
| John Atkinson's thoughts on the New Vandersteen System Nine from LA Show Is there a reason for this unsolicited advertisement? | |
| 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? | |
| Sgt.Pepper special on PBS A column in the latest issue of "the absolute sound" discusses this subject and acknowledges that Brian Wilson was exploring creative multilayering in the making of "Good Vibrations" around the same time as the Beatles were crafting "Sgt Peppers L... | |
| Where is you money at latest reissues Audiophile pressings or higher end audio equipment. By a certain age, most audiophiles have multiple versions of the same music in different formats. Cassettes, vinyl, CDs and downloads, it's all good! Even in the same format (vinyl), it's hard to resist buying the MoFi version even if you own the ... | |
| Sgt.Pepper special on PBS Great insight on the Beatles’ creative process. The exploration of the unique sounds created by diverse instruments helped me remember that it took several listenings to get comfortable with this album. I just wasn’t ready for the revolutionary ch... | |
| Someone want to verify this? I expect to see this mystery unfold on the "Investigation Discovery" channel. Good work, Sherlock! |
