<!-- #thumb --> <p>Our high end stereo systems are pretty worthless without something to listen to and by something I mean quality recordings of music that’s worth our time.</p>
<p>So how come there isn’t a place to go, a magazine to read, a website to visit, a group of like-minded people that fix this? *Sure the main stereo mags publish recommended recordings each month and some are very good and some aren’t. *I have no way to tell if the recommendations are there because they need to fill space or they genuinely love the piece. *I am sorry, maybe that’s a bit harsh. *If I were writing for the magazines I’d be terribly hard pressed to do better. *Heck I’d be hard pressed to do as well. *Yet that doesn’t fix the problem for me.</p>
<p>There are no real standards of excellent recordings, yet we all know one when we hear one. *With few exceptions Audiophile’s favorite collections, their hand picked gems are, for the most part, true gems worthy of my time and yours as well. *We all know of a few. *There must be hundreds but I can’t name perhaps more than ten or twenty. *Why is that?</p>
<p>Why is there such a vacuum when there is so obvious a need? *We know and trust some labels and engineers but we also recognize there are gems out there just for the taking. *True undiscovered beauties that are just waiting to be identified and memorialized by someone, *By something.</p>
<p>I’d be the first one to jump on board if only I knew how to do it.</p>
<p>I sure know what I want, I just don’t know how to get there.</p>
