Rodney Crowell
Slaw, I assume you were addressing me. With a streaming service you can listen to an album before you buy it, avoiding the disappointment you felt in this case. Also, you can explore many albums you would never buy without hearing them first and d... 
Rodney Crowell
This is the reason why streaming services are a good idea. 
How much?
Turn off the TV and listen to some music.  It's good for you. 
I'm still mystified...
No that’s not what they are doing. The people upset with sellers who add Paypal fees in their Audiogon ads but do not apply this reasoning to other products and services they purchase are using poor judgement about what is important and what is no...

I have NEVER seen this kind of "hidden fee" or "extra fee" behavior in the industry with audio electronic equipment. Saying "sales tax" is part of this thing is not a good example because you have sales tax with any item purchase you make locall...

glupson, so let me get this straight, you don't mind making 1,000 posts of questionable value bickering with geoff, but you won't deal with someone who adds Paypal fees to his asking price?What do you call what you and geoff do, if not playing games? 
Cover songs that are better than the originals.

Cannot find perfect sound
You can get lots of recommendations for speakers that other people like on a forum like this, but to find the ones that are perfect for you, you’re going to have to do a lot of auditioning in your own room (or you may get lucky and find them on th... 
How to make low end digital sound "not terrible" on higher end systems?
Maybe try a forgiving all-in-one system with some forgiving bookshelf speakers for background music and listening to your  poor sounding cds.   Keep your good recordings separate from the bad ones. 
Cannot find perfect sound
It is going to be hard to make speakers sound like earbuds.  If you like the sound of earbuds why not listen to them? 
A song murdered by someone.
I for one greatly prefer that version to the better known recording that was done in the 1960s by the Righteous Brothers. Not me. The Righteous Brothers version has way more soul. Bobby Hatfield kills it.  It makes Al’s sound like Wonder Bread.ht... 
Back Where I Should Be; The Acoustic Zen Adagio, Round 2
