Eldartford, I wonder if CD's will always be available. With all of the online downloading I wonder if there will come a point where there will no longer be hard copies of music available.

I just bought Electric Ladyland from Accoustic Sounds. I was disappointed. The sound quality of the Hendrix albums is just not up to the level of other artists from that period. However, I did ...

Hey Albert,From my current understanding Blu Ray has more movie studios in its court. I believe Sony has used the fact that the Playstation 3 will use Blu Ray. This will create a huge marke...

Wow this sounds like it could be really complicated. I guess I will try that product first and then take it from there.Justin

Gregadd,I agree with you about the sound of digital. It sounds too perfect. It is almost eerie. My opinion is that the real world is not perfect. Live music is not perfect. So it is unnatur...

Albert,I liked the mirror analogy. At the end of the day a properly set up lp playback system will play better than any CD. However, it is not a worthwhile endeavor to argue with some peopl...

Albert,I couldn't agree with you more. The one purchase I regret is the Krell. Not that it is a bad CD player but it so far removed from the sound of analog that it is a joke. I wish I had ...

That is really interesting about Audioquest. What do you think about them now?Part of my beef against Audioquest is that when I put them in my system they were very bright and forward. At first...

You know out of all the things you can buy for your system I think cables are the ones that are so dependent on personal taste. I have put cables in my system that I think are dreadful but other pe...

Hey Albert,I have a queston for you. All things being equal what do you think would bring the greater improvement to my system: a new tonearm or new speaker cables?

Hi Albert,It may be something I do later this year. I am in real estate so I have to wait till I close a couple of deals. One of the reasons I am hesitant is that it will be a huge outlay o...
