Black blues player? Melvin Taylor from Chicago. Closest to Jimi Hendrix alive today. Plus, he plays a lot of soulful blues too. This guy plays the lights out. "Rendevous with the blues" is the latest i've heard of. "Dirty Pool" has a few Stevie ra...

Low country is a great album. I think it sounds good too, it has an old fashioned bottom end to go with the old blues songs. it's not supposed to sound like modern compressed, bright albums. it's blues not blues rock. 
How much uncompressed music in Ipod classic?
Thanks. 167 GB was incorrect, 
Hrmm..24/96 Deluxe Ed of Damn the Torpedos
I got the HDCD version at Walmart for $5. Sounds really good, good enough. 
Benchmark dac - why such diverging opinions?
What is with Mr. English teacher, Lindisfarne? 
Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use?
i was reading a review of the OPPO 95 recently in ENJOY THE MUSIC.com. I had to laugh as the reviewer and his panel don't like digital. They went so far as to say they couldn't listen to the 95 for any extended period of time and that the only dig...

You can add Richard Thompson ( Fairport Convention ) to the list of old timers still making great music. I saw him at SIERRA NEVADA BREWERY in Chico, CA in March. Absolutely great, as are most of his cd's / albums. The latest, Dream Attic was great. 
...and now a word from your anti-sponsor...
No recorded music is actually real anymore than listening to a tape of yourself talking is as real as you actually talking in person. It's what is closer to being real. A recording of the sound of a synthesizer is as real as the recording of a aco... 
Noobie. Vinyl reissues. Am I expecting too much?
You all weren't real helpful and to any one looking into getting into vinyl your responses were kind of flippant. Someone wondering whether to purchase $50 new LP's wouldn't be too encouraged to start based on what you've said. Kind of hurting you... 
Apple Lossless vs iTunes Plus
Reading all this gives me a headache. I've been thinking about getting into computer audio, buying a dac etc, then all the different connections, high rez, low rez, obsolete next month- I yi, yi. 
OPPO BDP95 anybody have any comments yet?
Well, OPPO themselves say the 83 se was built to improve audio over 83 due to using the sabre dac chips which they say is superior. i beleive the 95 has the latest sabre 2018 dac chip too(18 is the important part don't recall if it's 2018). So not... 
Disappointing Evening
A lot of people do not know what good music is. They have spent their entire lives with cheap i-pod plugs in their ears or walmart boom boxes on high volume as if they sounded good. Ever been to somebody's place and they have this awful sounding m... 
small companies making today's best products
I sure didn't get that Elizabeth was anti-dealer. I do applaud her posts. Elizabeth makes good points about longevity as far as being able to get equipment fixed, replacement parts etc from a well established company. The fact a company is around ... 
For all you Clapton fans....
Gee, he's one of the greats, that's enough isn't it? Technical without soul is nothing.
