| What are you favorite artists and songs to listen to on your system? ejr1953, you caught me off guard with those comments about the players. Interesting analogies, I'll have to think about those a bit. FWIW I like all four of those violinists. And all four guitarists. | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? Your mention of the "southern man don't need him around anyhow" reminds me that "your Cadillac has got a wheel in the ditch and a wheel on the track" is a great line. One of my all-time favorites is the last part of "Positively 4th Street," a cl... | |
| About How Much $ Have You Spent On Your System & Is Your Room Acoustically Treated? 5k, mostly purchased used. Bought a brand new integrated amp last year. I love the way the room sounds as is. I just need more time/opportunities to enjoy the system and the room. Very, very happy with it all and I occasionally hunt for new LP... | |
| I just was curious about something I think the point might be something like this: what if the Beats by Dr. Dre headphones had been more of the quality of Sennheiser 600 or AKG701Q phones? Could millions of people have been inadvertently introduced to the sound of higher-end audi... | |
| Fed up with people making noise at classical shows Many years ago at the University of Chicago, a keyboard player (Ralph Kirkpatrick?) was giving a recital on the clavichord, an extremely quiet and delicate instrument more suitable for a small room than for any kind of concert hall. Streets for b... | |
| Fed up with people making noise at classical shows "My original complaint was, if you can't be silent at a concert, stay the hell home and don't ruin it for the others who paid."I feel your pain, and I am with you on this. | |
| Why do people that are Into rap and hip-hop even want a high-end audio system Right back atcha, brother. BTW, I got to know a lot of classical musicians (students and professors) for many years at a large music school and they were mostly very real and very warm people. Being a hick from the sticks I sometimes felt intimi... | |
| Why do people that are Into rap and hip-hop even want a high-end audio system Pete Seeger once said "it's very important to learn to talk to people you disagree with." I think there's something to that. That's what we do here, right? We're all equals, here and elsewhere. Be careful if there are people you consider "wa... | |
| What are you favorite artists and songs to listen to on your system? bdp24, if you like bluegrass and Bach you must give a listen to PDQ Bach's "Cantata Blaues Gras"--it's a hoot and a holler. Ach, jah! | |
| The one piece of gear you will never sell It's not that it's great, but I've got a 40-year-old Stanton gyropoise turntable in my studio system. I seldom use it and it has a fairly fresh stylus (you cannot replace the cartridge in it!) so it's probably going to remain here as long as I do... | |
| Why do people that are Into rap and hip-hop even want a high-end audio system I'd put power/money at the top. The whole slave trade flourished as the thing that made the south viable economically. Without it the region faltered, to say the least. Slavery was a means to an end, and that end was the prize. Slavery is long... | |
| Why do people that are Into rap and hip-hop even want a high-end audio system Jond, by that term I meant accusing with no real basis, jumping to conclusions--sorry if I was imprecise with the words on that. I don't know Taters and so I don't know if he's a racist or not--I will certainly give him the benefit of the doubt. ... | |
| Why do people that are Into rap and hip-hop even want a high-end audio system Everyone knows racism was rampant in 20th-century American culture and sadly, exists still today. I saw and heard plenty growing up in the south of the 50's and 60's. But it's possible to be hypersensitive about it. Every single single comment ... | |
| What are you favorite artists and songs to listen to on your system? Thanks, Schubert--I've heard them on the radio but not on CD or LP. I'll check them out. My other faves are Budapest and Miro. | |
| Fed up with people making noise at classical shows Would you care to 'splain yourself? |
