Madonna's soundstage
Indeed - Roger Waters has always been into sounds, voices, etc coming from all different places, both on records and in concert....  
2:00 a.m. listening at Noon!
@czarivey - that's how I experience music, both live and recorded, for the past 50 years or so! Cannabis and tunes!   
MSB DAC's Popularity
I've had an MSB Analog DAC for about 8 or 9 years - it's a ladder DAC with a volume control, and it's excellent and has never had a problem - I was running it directly into my MSB Power Amp, and that sounded good, but when I put a Herron Audio lin... 
I am really disappointed with the hip-hop enthusiasts on Audiogon
@audioguy85 - you realize you jumped into a thread where the most recent post was almost 5 years old, don't you?  And yeah, hip-hop/rap is every bit as much 'music' in every way, shape, or form as anything that you might prefer. Too many people ... 
McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer

Ian McDonald of King Crimson and Foreigner dies at 75 RIP
For me it was the first King Crimson album; the one thing that immediately struck me besides how great it all sounded was the intricacy and power of the drumming. Almost always among the most important positions in a prog-rock band is the drummer,... 
Scams on Audiogon (McIntosh Amps)
... and free shipping too, for something that weighs 110 pounds! Perhaps they decided that wasn't such a great thing to offer....

@russ69 - I was talking about Foreigner...

@laoman - from reading your posts, I'd have never guessed that English is a second language - you're much better at it than most native-speakers! As for spelling, I can't believe that anybody on the Internet can take anybody else to task for spel... 
Why dealers disparage certain products?
@clearthink - he's in the business of selling gear to customers; I'm not. It's his livelihood, not mine. As a potential customer, if I don't like his 'individual style', I will respond to that style by applying my own individual style, which would... 
Roger Miller anyone?
@tooblue - and a chicken ain't chicken till it's lickin' good fried, deep on the sunny side...  
Do you trust your system?
@steakster - A-ha! Clive indeed! First I was gonna say 'none of them' or something like that, but I changed it to 'with a very few exceptions' - also people like the late Ahmet Ertugan. A friend of mine used to be president of Capital Records for ... 
Do you trust your system?
Very well said, @dain !   
Ian McDonald of King Crimson and Foreigner dies at 75 RIP
I didn't realize he had anything to do with Foreigner - I guess the only member of the band I ever thought of was Mick Jones (not the Clash's Mick Jones)....  RIP indeed...
