| Your First Concert was..... The Doors, August 1968, Cleveland Municipal Auditorium, $4Morrison was wasted and was in his provoking a riot phase. It was not what I'd hoped for musically, but it was an interesting experience. Actually, I've heard worse concerts recently becaus... | |
| Who is your favorite blues guitarist I would include many of the artists already mentioned among the best but I have to add Eric Clapton. Anyone who says he's too white or too rich is deaf. The man can play the blues. | |
| Best Source For Quality Jazz CDs? BMG Music Club always surprises me (in a good way) with the large amount of jazz they carry. Sound quality varies widely between titles, of course, but BMG cds are the same quality as cds sold anywhere else. | |
| Preamp/amp far superior to just int. amp.? Within a single manufacturers' line, spending more money will often get you better sound but not always. Also, you may have to pay a lot more money to get a small improvement in sound.Manufacturers try to avoid giving better sound for less $ in th... | |
| Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is. Lush,I think that the sound quality that a person with an ordinary income can buy today is miles ahead of what that person could buy 25 years ago and is getting better all the time. If that's not revolutionary enough for JGH let him sit in his mes... | |
| Ike Turner RIP Nice obituary Zaikesman. Ike was indeed one of the underapreciated greats. He never whined about it either. | |
| Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is. Yeah, JG Holt is a real genius. Let me see, he thinks I should buy gear that I don't like to listen to, instead of gear that makes beautiful music, IMHO, because he thinks the former is more accurate? That concept should have new listeners flockin... | |
| Best Recordable CD-R Media ??? Hi Jay, I think that Mitsui, also called MAM-A, an acronym, is considered to be among the best available. A google search will turn up vendors and discussions of the media. | |
| How Much Has CD Technology Improved in 14 Years? CD technology has definitely improved since '93. However, the change may not be significant to you. Does your old player cause listener fatigue? Many newer players are a lot easier on the ears.You will have to borrow or buy a newer player to see h... | |
| the paradox of accurate speakers Accuracy in speakers is not an absolute that a speaker is either accurate or not, it is a spectrum with less accurate warm and mushy on one end and less accurate hard and grainy on the other. The middle part of the spectrum is nominal accurate, bu... | |
| Analog vs. digital segment on PBS They couldn't do Lp vs cd, everyone would have known which was which by the pops and crackles:)I have read a few reviews of cd players lately where the reviewer states that the sound of the cd was close to if not equal to the sound of the vinyl ve... | |
| PC-Audio vs. High-end CD Player-GAME OVER Everything is replaced by newer technology at some point and that includes lossless files piped in via USB or firewire, but I think that cds will be around for a while yet. I'm still waiting for everyone to start dumping their cd collections. Hasn... | |
| What is the best amp for Penaudio Charisma Chara?

| James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all Leica Man, I see your point that the testee should be able to choose his own cables, but surely a professional cable reviewer (among other things) should be able to tell the difference between Pear Anjous and Monster Cable whether the Anjous would... | |
| Did you see Springsteens latest show??? I haven't seen him in a long time. I think his recent concerts can be classified as arena rock, which I don't care for.As for his politics, I would be a lot more impressed if he and other rock stars weren't hoarding such huge fortunes and consumin... |
