| Any modern band that comes close to Mahavishnu Orchestra ? I saw the original M.O. twice and the second version once. Then I saw the One Truth Band. All different personnel, different sound, different vision. The original M.O. was a one-off, unique group. The closest thing I can think of in terms of s... | |
| Can headphones ever be as good as high end stereo? I'd keep the stereo and try some good modest phones and a decent amp. After a while you'll know. I have Senn 600 and AKG Q701 and like them both (although the AKG's really need the tube amp to shine). My starter amp is a Bravo Ocean which sound... | |
| Why do I keep torturing myself with remasters? I love the Beatles stereo re-masters. And although I grew up with the original mixes I wish they had re-mixed the ones where the original multi-track tapes survived. The re-mixed Yellow Submarine is amazing--the music really comes alive. Maybe ... | |

| Your recommendations for cost-effective and musical sounding headphones? This Phillips set compares favorably with the Senn 650 (though I prefer Senn 600 myself) for about half the price:https://www.amazon.com/Philips-X2-27-Fidelio-Headphones/dp/B00O2Y2MZG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=146... | |

| Lawyer Who Sued Led Zeppelin Suspended The irony is that Led Zep has put their names on others' songs more than anyone else I can think of--they happened to be mostly in the right in this case. But "Dazed and Confused" is unbelievably blatant--far worse than Harrison/My Sweet Lord. | |

| The illusion of soundstage. I know little-to-nothing about much of this discussion but I know what Wolf Garcia said is absolutely true. IIn a stereo recording it all starts with the image created by the engineer's panning of the individual tracks/channels/mics. As to sound... | |

| Favorite Day of the Year for Music We used to have a local DJ (on the NPR affiliate) who would do "theme" shows before Christmas, Halloween, Valentine's Day, etc. Any of those were great days to listen to music. Paul Ray, your listeners miss you. You were the best. | |

| "5 Records You Should Own" article As with most lists, I found some things to agree with and lots to disagree with. I was happy to see "Bless Its Pointed Little Head" get such a favorable mention. Jack, Jorma and Spencer were a driving machine that could kick up some dust behind ... |
