| Kanye West - Grammy comment, re Beck Kanye was on SNL 40th anniversary show last night and he took some pretty hard ribbing very well. I give him credit for that. | |
| Kanye West - Grammy comment, re Beck Maybe the next time Kanye wins an award someone will dump a bucket of something appropriate--such as bullshit--on him. The guy needs to grow up. I do give him credit for stopping himself from going further than he did on the actual broadcast this ... | |
| Kanye West - Grammy comment, re Beck Hew, he's 37. That's old enough to know better. And saying that does not make biased or closed-minded. Do you think the producers should allow each and every member to give their opinion as to who deserves the album of the year award? | |
| Kanye West - Grammy comment, re Beck Kanye's entitled to express his opinion but not on their time. I think the Grammy officials should ban him from being in the room. He's had his chance and he's blown it. Don't give him the platform to demean the voters' choices. | |
| Higher resolution Jazz Schubert, I sometimes enjoy the Emerson's recordings (haven't heard them live since the early 80's) but I agree that they get an inordinate amount of praise if not a free pass. Their Art of the Fugue CD sounds like a keyboard synthesizer to me. As... | |
| Classic rock: best remasters "If only Zappa were alive..." Actually, a lot of fans were upset with some of the stuff FZ did with his old recordings. He recut bass and drums on "We're Only In It For the Money" and it's my understanding he eventually went back to the original p... | |
| Analog and digital are both equally amazing... A couple of days ago I listened to a few recordings of Enrico Caruso on early acoustically-recorded records. I was amazed at how much of the sound was "there." Yesterday a friend came over with his new Pono player (high rez files) and some good he... | |
| Nocturnal listening faves I don't think my listening tastes are day/night dependent. | |
| Greatest Children musicians of all times Sarah Chang played with the Boulder Phil. when she was 7 and NY Phil. when she was 8. Paco de Lucia was given a special award for accompanying at a flamenco competition when he was 12 because he was too young to compete as a soloist. And check out... | |

After the Goldrush (Neil Young); If I Could Only Remember My Name (David Crosby); "Won't Get Fooled Again" (the Who); The Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus (Spirit); New Morning/John Wesley Harding (Bob Dylan); Stage Fright (the Band); Agualung (Jet... | |
| Why spend megabucks on a tuner? How does broadcast quality compare to live streaming of the same broadcast? | |
| Do you enjoy the sound at your local Theater Plex? I cannot enjoy it when it's too loud (which it usually, if not always, is). | |
| 2C HiFi Epiphany - Worlds Best System? If we have to spend 500k to achieve this level of accuracy then something is very wrong with the picture. | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Thg, those were two separate ideas expressed in two different sentences. They were not intended to be connected. | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Other than live, recording has not been a faithful recapture of a "real event" since multitracking came along. Also, you may not find many artists who are satisfied with the sound that comes of the speakers (from the recording) as opposed to the s... |
