| Black-Eyed-Peas, the future of modern music? Bongofury, I'm with you. I've been getting into the local music scene and even singing with some of the musicians I have met who are much younger than I (56). I've discovered that I have a good rock voice only because some of the younger musicians... | |
| True Analog LPs versus Digital Recordings I love the sound of some of my old LP's so this isn't about starting a food fight, but if current LP's for sale , many for $30 - 50 apiece are digital based, what's the big thing about a vinyl re-surgence ? The Lp's then ARE NOT analog which is wh... | |
| Led Zeppelen and Dire Straits Japanese SHM CD's The mothership sonics is not as good as page's previous re-masters in the 90's. Too compressed. | |
| Digitalmeisters - Thoughts on Olive..... When someone makes a server for a decent price, easy for even dummies to use, and has sound that doesn't degrade the original disc / file quality after burning / download with compatibility to high rez downloads, they will corner the market. Sound... | |
| John Lennon, 29 years ago today.... One thing to remember about what you read about John Lennon is that any writer ( Goldman, etc. ) only write's about the highlights or specific incidents. As far as being cruel or having strange behavior, those oft published incidents were a very s... | |
| What music do you want to play really loud? Crank up some re-mastered Beatles. If you have a good system tell me what you think of "just seventeen" from their first album or "Day Tripper." Many more, just great LOUD! | |
| Best Rock Album in 2010 Retribution Gospel Choir ( Al Sparhawk, LOW leader is the front man for this Duluth band ). Don't miss it ! This is NOT a mellow album. Also, great HARD BLUES by Sparhawk band, The BLACK EYED SNAKES (THIS IS OLDER). | |
| Gilmour and Waters Together Again There seems to be an undercurrent of contempt for older artists on this site. I have read many posts that basically are criticizing these artists for STILL playing even though they are older. Gee, when you reach a certain age you have to quit ? Ob... | |
| How do you guys choose between CD releases? I'm not talking about the majority on one site such as Amazon. The majority of several sites taken as a whole. Some sites where sound quality is discussed: Audiogon, Audio Karma, Pitchfork, Amazon, Acoustic sounds, Steve Hoffmann, The Absolute Sou... | |
| How do you guys choose between CD releases? If dynamics is all you want then generally the older versions are best. However, newer versions are usually more clear, detailed. The best, such as beatles,mono, have both. Some that are slightly compressed such as stereo beatles are still very go... | |
| MFSL Gold Little Feat The little feat box set sounds good. | |
| Top 5 Hamburgers If you can't get it prepared the way you want it (med. rare) then it isn't a serious burger place worth stopping at, period! Put an ounce of prune juice per pound in the meat if your worried about e-coli. Worrying about it will kill you faster tha... | |
| Fleetwood Mac Best band ever ? That's funny. | |
| CCR Remastered The sacd's are hybrids so they play on a regular cd player. They are really good and were re-mastered by Steve Hoffmann, one of the most highly regarded re-master engineers. While i haven't heard the latest re-masters, sometimes people think a lou... | |
| HDCD VS SACD My experince with hybrid cd's is that the cd layer, while definitely not as good as the sacd layer, is still usually the best version of cd for that particular recording available. What is the downside to having two layers ? If you like sacd, list... |
