Man, this hits me in the gut.....Jay era wilco was a big part of my life. I just communicated with him not too long ago.

I've always thought that Floyd's work was fabulous.

But...(there's always a 'but')...when it comes to audiophiles, specifically those who design speakers....we tend to disagree, to some extent -with Floyd. Why? If the audiophiles have a case, where did Floyd's analysis 'fall down'? When it comes to the highest fidelity and audiophile listening.... where was the misstep?

Here it is:

Hi

How would you descirbe their style's ?

Aggressive and attacking or more laid back and controlled ?

Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated, i have a chance to see one of them in a couple of weeks I can only see one or the other though

To evaluate the effect of MP3 conversion on an audio file, I would like to find software will produce a WAV file that is the difference between the best match between two sample WAV files.

If File1.WAV is the original, and is converted to File2.MP3 and then reconverted to File3.WAV, the difference between File1.WAV and File3.WAV (= file4.WAV) should reveal the sound lost (or added) in compression, provided that one can match the sync and levels appropriately.

I posted a while back about trying to pull off an "entry level" set up on the cheap side.

I've since rethought my budget and came up with this combo. Any concerns, comments, suggestions?

I appreciate your assistance.

Last night I pulled out an album from 1977 and was thinking about how every now and again, there comes an album that insinutates itself into your rotation that never makes it to the 'reissue zone' and deserves higher regard than being left behind.

So, what are your lost gems that you would encourage people to seek out and acquire?

I'll limit myself to two:

1) Karla Bonoff's eponymous album from, as I mentioned, 1977. It's got Waddy on it, and Wendy Waldman, Linda Ronstadt, Kenny Edwards, Andrew Gold, JD Souther, and Glenn Frey.
