THe death of music

Snells and that company is now toast

What speakers do you have?

[domwilson]

It seems that a lot of the good companies that offered quality speakers at a reasonable price went under. And some of mass produced crap started misrepresenting themselves as quality stuff. There still are some good companies left but you pay a premium for good sound. It seems everyone is trying to push small speakers.

My audio system cost a lot of cash....my video seperate system has Mission speakers and a not to bad Sony receiver( $700. bucks for the receiver) but the sound from my main audio system is great and yes buy a record and not a CD
My Rega CD player is pretty good though

I am not a big Gary Numan fan, but I like this song written by him.

Bose is one of the crappy morons....all marketing and you can not get good bass out of wee speakers....some sub powered woofers are OK but you need two and placement is critical ...do not believe the crap you get from big box stores sales? people!!

Im in my 30's, but none of my CD's or MP3's sound as good as my dad's 70's Technics turntable and vinyl. I wish more current music was still produced on vinyl.

I think one of the old school companies still makes the best speakers... Klipsch. Mid end price, for high end sound.

Here's a tip...To really deep clean old LP's, I've used Titebond II on them. It really works. Google or youtube it.

I am in my 60ties and love my I-pod and the shuffle mode. Or the ability to find artist by looking down a list. rather than scratching vinyl any time you touch it. I bought The Beatles Revolver album three times in Vinyl, twice in 8Track, two times in cassette and once in CD, then the CD started to skip. So I bought it digitally over the internet. I have it saved on four hard drives along with 5000 other titles. I would not mind being young again, but with the technology.

Douggie, glad you liked it. I'm a huge Jason Mraz fan; His vocal virtuosity and gorgeous musical arrangements definitely provide a counterpoint to the circus-act junk being passed off as music these days. Take a quiet moment and enjoy :
