| Best female vocals on CD My all time favorite Jazz singers are Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughn, and asked to choose between the two I really couldn’t. They both have what it takes to be considered great in my book, voices, phrasing, style, range and originality. I love t... | |
| Worst Music of All-Time Well Albert thanks for all the details I'll certainly remember next time I'm playing music trivia. I'm sure all the "Fat City" and Bill & Taffy fans out there in Audiogon land will welcome it, just kidding but I couldn't resist. I always did g... | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! Very eloquently stated Slawney and I agree. | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! Slawney What is a "Federative Government"? I also was curious as to what that means. Sounds like some term from a political science course, a term to reference ? or maybe an inside term used by government diplomats and analyists. I can't every rem... | |
| Worst Music of All-Time Is it Vanity Fair? | |
| Your first stereo system Danvetc In ignorance we bliss in knowledge we continually question. | |
| Worst Music of All-Time Thecommodore Do you mean "Afternoon Delight" by ? can't remember who but they also did "Hitchin a Ride" I loved those tunes with a "hook"! | |
| Your first stereo system Early 70's; Scott integrated tube amp; Dynaco A-25 speakers and Garrard turntable with Pickering cartridge (forget the model). And might I add that it was probably every bit as enjoyable as anything I've owned since and better than the Pioneer SS ... | |
| The best and worst Audiogon poster's Trelja I am also from the Philadelphia (Delaware Valley) area (born in Chester) and I agree 100% with what you say, some of the friendliest straight shooting people I've met in this country for sure. I love going home to visit family and friends a... | |
| What price hi-fi? Joe- You have nailed it for me. I can't imagine how a digital device especially has taken this long to break in. So far this unit has not really hit my hot button which isn't a good sign for ultimate enjoyment. Furthermore the Bel Canto sounds mor... | |
| What CD has the best production/sound? Kelleyann Try CDUniverse; CompactDisc Connection; and Music Direct, don't have the web addresses off hand but you should find most of what you see here on those sites. | |
| What price hi-fi? Ben, I hear you! Unfortunately I have come to the conclusion that NO there is no value system other that your own ears, your budget, what you have access to hear and finally your nerves if you don't have the opportunity to hear, but can afford bas... | |
| The best and worst Audiogon poster's Eldragon Many rural areas in the South are poor when compared to living standards in other rural parts of our country. Most Southern states are right to work ("Unions need not apply") and the "old" money good ole boy network is still prevalent. Th... | |
| McIntosh - is it that great? Hornmeister Who wouldn't agree that objective evaluations are more consistent and represent truth within their parameters? The problem in audio is that the aural perception that each of value is different. It really isn't even an opinion, though t... | |
| Supreme recording! Sonically and musically it is probably "For Duke"/"Fatha" on M&K (310)-204-2854. These original analog direct to disc recordings were made in the late 70's. I believe "Fatha" was Earl Hines last recording before his death in 1979 at the age of... |
