| Songs that trigger you to switch the station or... "Nights in a White Satin" does it for me. It's like a zombie that just keeps coming slowly towards your ears as putrefied schmaltz. Put a silver stake in it, please. | |
| 4K for new Sony phone.. Samsung just announced a 4K DVD player,($500) but I've heard the video compression on 4K is so good that they will be able to stream it pretty efficiently, which sounds like the win. Also, 4K DVD discs need enough seats to make content production ... | |
| classe ca 200 running too hot? I tried the CA200 with some ML Quests, and it had the odd behavior of dimming the lights on loud passages, so it seemed a little different than just underpowered. When I went to the CA300 I never saw the problem again. | |
| Watched the MTV awards that night Will this generation be singing the songs on this year's VMAs two, five, or ten years from now? No one knows for sure, but there is such a thing as disposable music, and a lot of what I heard sounds like a formulistic, disposable anthems. But then... | |

| A sad tale of tube problems... Compared to the inflation in the price of gear, it seems to me that high-quality tubes from vendors such as Gold Lion and Tung-Sol are fairly priced, and total maintenance cost seems reasonable if you do not exceed four output tubes.But if re-tubi... | |

| Best Female Vocalists Ballads +1 for Kate Wolf and the GYTL album. | |
| Did Redbook get it right? Thanks for the informative comments.ZD542: Yes, we probably dodged a bullet by lossy compression coming after Redbook.Jon2020: Your description mirrors my own experience. For me, I gasped when the individual instruments had air around them in a 3D... | |

| Songs that Inspire or Move you Kate Wolf singing, "Give Yourself to Love," when she knew she was dying of leukemia. | |
| Rolling Stones Tour 2015 I've carried a fear of singing, "Let's Spend the Night Together," at the nursing home. Boomers had quite a run of power, and us-centric arrogance, but it's in eclipse, even as Mick's prance and sneer represents denial of its passing. "Do not go ge... | |
| Best computer for usb hi fi source To me, the Mac still has the edge in industrial design and pride of ownership. That said, I use a PC laptop with an i5 processor, 8 gig of memory, and configure JRiver to play the music files from memory.Really, for the task of delivering a digita... |
