| Is Vinyl Worth It So, it's okay to say vinyl beats digital but it's ludicrous to say digital beats vinyl? | |
| Is Vinyl Worth It I like the sound as an alternative/change of pace but I don't like the extra procedural "work" involved. So I don't listen to my LP's as often as CDs or tuner. | |
| On the draining of resonance..... Schubert, are you saying I should still be listening to my 1967 Magnavox all-in-one turntable/IA/speaker system? | |
| Favorite BB King album? I agree with Mapman. I like 3 old LP's I have and a 4-CD anthology, but a CD I had (someone ran off with it) that contained Live at the Regal AND live at Cook County Jail was killer. | |
| Headphone Distortion? Check out reviews and discussions and head-fi.orgNot as solid and reliable as audiogon, IMO, but if you look you can find people with good ears and discriminating taste. | |
| Buidling a Classical Library - MUST HAVES! Where's the solo and chamber stuff? | |
| Glenn Campbell - new found respect Arnettpartners, it's a matter of style--bluegrass players use capos frequently, but jazz/big band players don't use them at all (ordinarily). | |

| Glenn Campbell - new found respect I saw Glenn Campbell live in '68 (Hemisfair, San Antonio) and he was an amazing talent. And, he was a Beach Boy for a while (early sub for Brian), which gets him extra points in my book. | |
| Rolling Stones Tour 2015 Beatles were a great live band early on. They quit playing live as they became more "pop" and less rock and roll-oriented. I think the early Beatles could hold their own against the early Stones live. Stones are naturally bluesier, Beatles more po... | |

| Rolling Stones Tour 2015 "unprecedented quality...Beatles came close"I'm reminded of a mural-like cartoon titled "Tragical History Tour" in an old National Lampoon mag. One part of it shows John Lennon standing with his hands on his hips saying "Mick always f***ing imitat... | |
| Daryls House - some great takes on familar songs Actually, Notec, some of us "morbidly thin" could use a butt implant. |
