I'll give the Peggy Lee a listen. And while we're on the topic of singers from the past (I'll take "Singers Of the Past" for $400), my all time favorite is the one and only Billie Holiday - pure swing jazz heaven despite the rather lo-fi recordings. darrenyeats;381184 Wrote: > People's definition of "audiophile" varies and many like music a lot > more than SQ - I would count myself among these. I guess the only way to get a really heated discussion going (as opposed to this rather civil exchange we've got going here) in this section is to mention "DBT" or, my favorite, "pro-audio". darrenyeats;381184 Wrote: > Actually I agree - IMHO what I wrote was a counterexample like Leona.

Think rap and heavy metal - I don't care for either genre but that doesn't mean that it's all complete garbage. -- ralphpnj Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels -> Snatch -> The Transporter -> Transporter 2 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/jazzfann/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57806 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
