You got to show me something more!
You got that right Robba. Why not "Classic" (to reference good music) instead of pidgeon holing all music prior to Jazz "Classical"? Classical is an era. People need to get it right but "got to be carefully taught", which they are not. It gets con... 
Are you Guys Rich or What!?
Good food for thought kthomas. If I had the time AND the money my choice would be easy. 
Are you Guys Rich or What!?
Brulee if it makes you feel good do it. Ye protest too much. I must have hit a nerve ending. My questioning is the sanity (insanity?) of 50k 100k 250k(?) components and all the underlying reasons for their existence in the first place. I don't see... 
Are you Guys Rich or What!?
I guess I do question individuals that are always changing out expensive gear in a never ending quest for owning "the best" which ties into the wretched excess comment. This has nothing to do with music reproduction as much as buying the latest mo... 
Are you Guys Rich or What!?
In answer to your 1st question Pls1 no, not if you are willing and able and it gives you pleasure. I also don't question, judge or begrudge anyone who spends it. My point is my personal values, not yours. I see no need to and maybe I would feel a ... 
Are you Guys Rich or What!?
To Pls1 and Mikem referencing Axomoxa comments on moral issues. Morality is in the eyes of the beholder. I would have a quite difficult time justifying spending 75K-100K on an audio system just because I am a consenting adult that could afford it.... 
New Visitor Confused Over Upgrade
"You guys should really learn a little more about how electronics really work before posting such definitive opinions which could mislead new people looking for guidance." First of all Ben, not everyone posts definitive opinions. But we certainly ... 
New Visitor Confused Over Upgrade
Peter if indeed your post is sincere which at this point is suspect, you need to throw out your preconceived notions of what is obsolete, wire is a commody, what is accurate and what you think you know about how things sound based on your EE degre... 
Who is Most Beautiful female singer ever
Charlie I'll never forget seeing Fleetwood Mac the 1st time in the mid 70's @ an outdoor concert in Tampa FL. Stevie was in one of her tradmark black (I also saw her once in white) Chiffon outfits. There was a breeze blowing across stage and her h... 
Who is Most Beautiful female singer ever
Well I should have at least gotten the spelling right since I have one of her albums! Got it for my 3 year old nephew (yeah, sure) who turned flush everytime he heard her sing. Great bubble gum pop. Yes Wsmatau I know about her. She was quite the ... 
Ken Burns' JAZZ starts Monday on PBS!
Great post Robba, I could not agree with you more. Very, very well stated observations. 
Who is Most Beautiful female singer ever
What do you like better sugar or spice? How can there be one? There are too many. I certainly agree with many of the above but what about Josephine Baker for pure passion. What a looker. Another little cutie from Brazil, if anyone remembers is Sus... 
1955-2001 Favorite Top Ten Rock Groups
Shubertmaniac How about Bonnie Raitt at the Bijou; David Bowie at Tower Theater; Taj Mahal at the Academy. Tell me you really saw Muddy Waters at the Main Point? Don't forget the Steel Pier where I saw The Supremes AND The Temptations in 1965 (10-... 
Best Classical Music Conductor
Kitch29 with reference to Reiner and Lewis Layton producing how about one of my very favorite Russian showpieces "Scherazade" re-released on both Chesky records (vinyl) and Classic records on gold CD. This is my very favorite performance of that p... 
Sellers Obligation To Respond
I feel your frustration Luc but it seems that some Mom and Dad's didn't spend enough time on something so simple as common courtesy with their offspring.
