| Why does most new music suck? Granted. And probably never will. It's like when I was a kid: I'd spend a lot of my time in the library and dream of reading ALL the books and how wonderful it would be. Bad eyesight put a serious chink in that design.Thank goodness my ears work w... | |
| Why does most new music suck? What I alluded to is what has yet to be seen or discovered, maybe anew, or simply overlooked or needing a new twist or take. We all create based on what we know, what is passed on freely from others, and some times we invent, creating something gr... | |
| Why does most new music suck? Csontos, You've a keen eye. Yes, a firm foundation is needed to proceed from. It's just the resistance part I hate. And boundaries are needed to know where to proceed from, where to test the waters. And yes, there is nothing new under the sun, jus... | |

| Why does most new music suck? Conservatism, by its very nature, resists change, for any reason. Your "long haired" story brings back memories for me as well. Don't think though, for a moment, that it has died down even with the changes in hairstyle and acceptance of some music... | |

| Lots of detail, great imaging, not much bass? KInd of like my suggestion with the Martin Logans "adequate" bass? | |
| Why does most new music suck? What constitutes an illogical obsession?Is that in the DSM on psychological disorders?Absolutely no connection nor indication of music appreciation?Again, I'l like to see the data.Do you see anyone here as having an illogical obsession with stereo... | |
| Why does most new music suck? Not to pat ourselves on the back but can it be that our audiophile tendencies in the pursuit of better music reproduction dovetails with better music appreciation?With the lower quality sources and playback devices we are bombarded with, is it rea... | |
| CD vs CD/SACD Player – Tube-based or Not I was going to recommend the Marantz SA-15S2b SACD player but the ones you mention are quite a bit more costly so it might be a step down for you. It fits your criteria as I like and want what you want and I feel I'm getting it. For me, it's the b... |
