The Consumer Electronics Show begins this week in Las Vegas, and hundreds of new audio products have already been announced. Is there anything you're hoping to see from manufacturers?
One of my pet peeves about reviews/reviewers is inconsistency. For example, take Technical Descriptions, the part of a typical Stereophile review that usually comes before the "Subjective Sound Quality" section. Lack of details in Technical Descriptions really hurts the review and may prevent me from taking that reviewer seriously.
i heard the most amazing cover of American Tune on one of the NPR affilliates here tonight as I was driving home from the laundromat... it was sparse, just piano , voice, drums..the singer was a real soulful type sort of like..i dont know.. ray lamontangne and mayer without the cheese..amazing vocal chords on the guy whoever he was..
did a you tube search..darrel scott, sounds sorta like it but not soulful enough, not enough vocal acrobatics..glen phillips cover is whiny....forget indigo girls.
wasnt paul simon either..
who was it??
You may even be the 8th or 10th version. Who knows.
Small wonder that people don't like this bit that is about to trash your worldview. It sure throws the bible, the Koran, etc in the pooper (whoops!), among other things. If you then look at those books as something else, ie a tale told by primitive man when faced with 'forces we don't understand' ....then it makes more sense.
What I can't wait for is all the stories that people will make up in their minds --- in order to not deal with this.
