What in the world is going on.....

Paul Simon has been past his prime since the 80's.

All these performers that hit their peak in the 70's, should "hang it up" IMO!

It's their business whether to keep playing or not, question is who is going to listen to that playing?

I'm SHOCKED, shocked to learn that not everyone on this forum has the same musical tastes. Even the original poster of this thread admitted that on headphones, Paul Simon's "Stranger to Stranger" sounded "wonderful". Look, you may not like the album, or Paul Simon in general, but to complain about it on this forum seems juvenile. Even the most jaded audiophile must recognize that PS has given us a lot of great music during his career, even if it isn't your style.

My point is that although I DO like the album....it sounds much poorer on viny, with my big megabuck system with speakers than with the mp3 version trough a Denon receiver via AirPlay, and then through a pair of wireless Sennhiser earphones.  It really shouldn't....n'est pas???

Sorry, stringreen, but this thread went off track several postings go. I got your point about being disappointed about the sound through your MP3/ Sennheiser setup being superior to your vinyl rig. I wish I had the answer to your dilemma. What disturbed me was the echo of many voices saying, in effect, that Paul Simon's contribution to R&R music over the past 50 years is insignificant, or negligible. Seriously?
