| Audiophile Staff If one does not have time to fiddle with the system, do you imagine that they take the time to frequent audiogon? | |
| Where are the female Audiophiles? Hillary is not Indira. USA is not India. Nor is it Great Britain (Thatcher) or Israel (Meir). Different places, different people.My wife was invaluable as a listener when I was auditioning speakers. She has a great set of ears. But she doesn't rea... | |
| Miles Davis The Original Mono CD's Jafant--it was obviously recorded in stereo, it's not one of those "electronically reprocessed" mixes. My question is: was not the stereo mix done at the same time and therefore does it not have as much legitimacy as the mono mix?I have no problem... | |
| Hot Rats omigod, you are right--I do confuse those two LP's--it's been way too long. My sincere apologies once again! | |
| Hot Rats Actually, Twenty Small Cigars is. But I should have paid attention to what followed Blessed Relief in your post. My bad, my apologies! | |

| classical newbie Brownsfan,thanks for your post--I would have added more suggestions but had time constraints. I plan to do so soon.Meanwhile, my favorite current quartet is the Miro Quartet. I have their early Beethoven set and have heard them live. They are just... | |
| classical newbie Doesn't anyone listen to solo or chamber music?String quartets: Guarneri, Budapest or Julliard quartets playing Beethoven, Bartok, Brahms, Ravel, Debussy, Mozart, Shostakovich, Borodin, Tchaikovsky--you almost can't go wrong with any of those comb... | |
| Stop compression of music petition via Stereophile Ptss,it's a pretty safe bet that most people reading this have good speakers. | |
| Tone Controls can be so nice. If you're messin' with it you're guessin' with it.That said, everything else being equal (and it's not, compared to what the original "mixmaster" heard in the studio)we have different ears and different tastes. A little more salt? You want ketchup... |
