| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? I keep thinking that some of you guys keep missing the point; with all due respect. The easily identified, inherent, signature sound of Carnegie Hall (or any other hall) swamps any deviation caused by humidity, number of attendees, etc. It really ... | |
| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? Tubegroover, been there; great story! Thanks for sharing. | |

| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? ***Where's the psychiatrist when you need one?*** -Bifwynne***Why waste money on psychotherapy when you can listen to the B minor Mass?*** -Michael Torke | |
| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? Jax2, the fatal flaw in your argument is that you seem to be assuming that those who strive for their notion of musical accuracy necessarily do so at the expense of the enjoyment of the art. That assumption could not be further from the truth. Mor... | |
| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? Tubegoover (love the moniker, BTW), I agree with everything you wrote. I don't for a minute think that everyone agrees with my take on the issue of accuracy. Moreover, my goals are actually the same as yours; it really is about balance. My comment... | |
| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? "Does accuracy matter?" Of course it does! "Does accuracy (in audio equipment) exist?" Of course not! Jax2's objections aside, I agree with Mrtennis that accuracy means perfection. What this hobby is about is the reproduction of musical performanc... | |

| Phoebe Snow has died. I am very saddened by this news. Phoebe was a distinctive stylist. That rare kind of singer that had both an incredibly unique sound, and a palpable sense of honesty and sincerity in her singing. Most singers, in the absence of such sincerity, wou... | |
| Scott 222 B tube amp Respectfully disagree with Mechans; although his concerns are very well taken. But, $75 to get a taste of what tubes are all about? No brainer IMO! These Scott amps can be very sweet sounding, and will definitely let you hear what the fuss is all ... | |
| Stan Getz VOYAGE Bingo! | |
| Stan Getz VOYAGE Roxy54, and Zmanastronomy, you are welcome. A couple of additional thoughts about this recording, and "Lost Sessions". The relative merits of each are just a matter of personal taste, and personal priorities."Lost Sessions" is clearly a wonderful ... | |
| are audiophiles different than non audiophiles ? I am a professional musician, and audiophile. I know many musicians who are also audiophiles. In fact, as a percentage of the population of musicians, there are far more musicians who are audiophiles, than there are audiophiles in the general popu... |
