| I just puked I agree with Onhyw61(love that Dylan reference)that the talented should receive the fruits of their labors but in our culture there is a disproportionate reward for talent.To parapharse Bono, "Three chords and the truth" It's more like three chord... | |

| Is vinyl dead ? No one was given the choice between vinyl and cd. On the retail side once cds came out the distributors(read labels) would no longer take returns on vinyl. In other words if you bought X copies of vinyl they were yours. On the other side if you bo... | |
| Is vinyl dead ? As a owner of a record/cd store(thank God not my day job) I can say vinyl is not dead but is on life support. As far as sales goes, vinyl is probably less than 5 percent industry wide. It has become a niche market. Yes there are more lps available... | |
| No longer sitting on the fence I thought I would update, I found an Audio Aero and had an extended listening sessions with the Capitole. I found it a wonderful warm sounding cd player but it just wasn't 4K better than my Cary 306/200. The dealer also carried the dCS line and ha... | |

| Hovland Preamp or Others? I would also look at the Conrad Johnson 16 LS MK11 preamplifier. It has the house Conrad Johnson warm tube sound(not colored) and a remote. I use it with a SS Jeff Rowland amplifier with great results. I went from an Audio Research preamp to a Con... | |
| New Remastered Miles Davis Blackhawk I just finished disc 4 this pm, it is a wonderful 4 disc boxset that showcases Miles in his prime. I have the original lps and this is one case IMHO where the cds are clearly better sounding. The sets are also complete with much more music than th... | |
| EAR 834 vs. ARC PH-3? I have owned both pieces and found the PH-3 the better of the two. The built quality of the Audio Research was much better than the EAR, I had to replace the RCAs twice on the EAR. The sound of the PH-3 was more extended both in the midrange and t... | |
