How do you know when a stereo sounds good?
hilde45 My confusion comes from your interpretation of what the OP wrote. He didn't ask: "How does someone else determine that you enjoy listening to music through your stereo?". That's how you interpreted his question but I don't think that's wh... 
How do you know when a stereo sounds good?
hilde45 You said: "It's like asking the question, "Am I in pain?" That's not a question I can make sense of without some kind of science fiction scenario." Can you elaborate on that paragraph? I don't understand what you are trying to say. I know... 
Can You Hear Me Now
What are these golden ears of which you speak? While it might not be an attractive look but with the price of gold close to an all time high, wouldn't it be wisest to cut them off and take the cash? Just sayin. 
What song have you played the most?
The Sting version of Little Wing. They have the skins pulled so tight on those drums I'm surprised they didn't break and the sax solo by Branford Marsalis is ethereal. 
RE: the question: ":Why do forum interactions become contentious". . .
I strongly disagree with those who are saying that people who make these nasty comments online also make them in face to face conversations. People who make these comments in online forums are hiding behind the anonymity that online forums provide... 
Why the hate for mcintosh amps?
The phrase "you get what you pay for" is not always accurate. In the case of Mac amps, the phrase is "you get what you overpay for". As far as quality and sound go, Mac amps are great. It's just that similar quality and similar sounding amps can b... 
Learning to Listen: Neurological Evidence
millercarbonAccordion? I left an accordion in the backseat of my car with the windows down and the doors unlocked in a bad part of town. When I got back to my car, there were two accordions in the backseat.Q: Why are there no accordions on Star... 
Learning to Listen: Neurological Evidence
I must be one who can hear the details at many more than 5 times as predicted by modeling. I routinely listen to individual instruments throughout entire songs and it's been my experience that the most enjoyable songs are those that are made up of... 
Does listening to music increase your IQ?
Listening to music increases your IQ in the same way that reading millercarbon's posts decreases it. Just having a little fun with you millercarbon, don't get bent. 
What are your top 5 Billboard top 10 songs of the 1970"s?
My list is taken solely from songs that reached #1 on Billboard in the 70s. I mean if it didn’t reach #1, how great could it be? (just kidding, sort of)So I excluded the ultra catchy one hit wonders such as Carl Douglas - Kung Fu Fighting, Paper L... 
I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s.
tyrayHendrix was absolutely amazing, but 3 studio albums is not enough quantity to put him above any of the others on my list. And of much, much less importance (maybe even zero significance to some, to me it matters), Hendrix never had a song go ...

discopants"OK boomer"? Like most everything about the overly privileged generations that came after the boomers, even your putdowns are lazy. Learn to put together a good put down, you conceited, lazy, crybaby about literally everything (don't tak...

bdp24I would welcome any advice you have on new (last 20 years) music that you think is great but under one condition. If you honestly think that anything Dylan has done in the last 20 years is as good as anything he did in his first 10, then don'... 
I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s.
For those who may not realize in this age of easily obtainable music, back in the day we had to spend our hard earned money on albums (and before that on 45s) if we wanted to hear music we liked on demand and that was the differentiator between go...

slaintOf all those bands you listed, maybe only The Police and Prince could creep onto the list given by the OP (BTW, he forgot The Who). This in no way means that the bands you listed didn't each produce a few songs that might measure up to the s...
