Re: LAST Vinyl Accessory
Hey there Dan, I just voiced my own concerns as I see it. It's not a put-down or even a stern warning to using it for anyone else, don't read too much into it. For me, I just tend to error on the...

Re: If you had to choose only ONE pair of speakers for rest of your life ...
I'm torn between my Paradigms or Spatial Holograms. If I had to choose between those I think the Paradigms would ever so slightly edge out the Spatials, but then again they are two different designs...

Re: Anyone buying this album for the holiday season?
I already know I have no hearing issues to my knowledge because I have always been very careful with my hearing and have not even been to a concert in 20 years and never play anything more than...

Re: Anyone buying this album for the holiday season?
Nope. None of that stuff is allowed within 100 miles of my ears. I find xmas noise (it certainly is not music in my opinion) is harmful. It actually not only makes my ears hurt, gives me headache...

Re: LAST Vinyl Accessory
My opinion: While I am aware of the LAST reputation and don't necessarily have issue with their stylus cleaner and certainly not their brushes, I am highly suspect of any product used as a record...

Re: MQA streaming points to a bright future for hi res audio
In my opinion the sound quality no matter what, will always be foundationally based on the original recording, but you and everyone else knows that. That said, I do agree that one can get great SQ...

Re: MQA streaming points to a bright future for hi res audio
It's not going to fly, I just have that feeling.
I did a compare between Hi-rez and CD on a proper set up (not mine) and I could barely tell any difference. I only "thought" I heard some subtle... -

Re: Too good to be true
Interesting article. I'm not going to give my particular take on it in terms of agreeing and disagreeing because in my mind it is a moot point. It really boils down to the recording in the final...

Yes, unfortunately at the expense of quality (and maybe her own health). I also don't buy into all that record breaking stuff, the numbers are skewed as usual (it's the way of the industry), although...

Ah yes, I forgot about the poor recording quality. That doesn't help her. It's as if the producer or engineer or both are just there to put in their eight and get out, not caring one way or other....

Re: Adele 25
I don't think I'll ever understand what Adele is trying to do. In my opinion it seems like she insists on singing well out of her range and abilities. Personally I find her very hard to listen to. If...

I have not heard the UK album yet. I don't think I will file it with Yes, I'll just file it on it's own. I'm a Prog rock fan with my top two favs being Rush and Yes. I'm not much for King Crimson and...

Yeah, your probably at least partly correct for sure and I think part of the problem was bad form by the reviewer as well, in my opinion.
