AudioDoctor Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 every day and twice on Sunday... Oh, you wanted to know which I would rather listen to...

souptin Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 ... with a few possible exceptions. How about a battle of the Joneses: Who do you want more - Rickie Lee or Norah? Link to comment

Jud Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Back to Emmylou - In my (and her) younger years, I would have paid good money to sit up front at one of her concerts even if I were stone deaf. OK, Mark P, this one's for you, but others can answer: Handel's Water Music, Christopher Hogwood or Jordi Savall? One never knows, do one? - Fats Waller The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. - Einstein Computer, Audirvana -> optical Ethernet to Fitlet3 -> Fibbr Alpha Optical USB -> iFi NEO iDSD DAC -> Apollon Audio 1ET400A Mini (Purifi based) -> Vandersteen 3A Signature.

Mark Powell Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I've got lots of him with the Academy of Ancient Music. After the Goldrush. Dolly Parton/Emmylou Harris/Linda Ronstadt or Prelude? (NOT Neil Young. He is a good composer but he should not attempt to sing.) PS: So would I. Still would, though I'm quite old... Link to comment
Jud Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Wondering if you've heard the Savall. I think you might like it. (Whether more or less than the Hogwood is not something I'm actually that much interested in. There's a lot of very, very good Savall, and music you already enjoy may be a nice intro to him.) One never knows, do one? - Fats Waller The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. - Einstein Computer, Audirvana -> optical Ethernet to Fitlet3 -> Fibbr Alpha Optical USB -> iFi NEO iDSD DAC -> Apollon Audio 1ET400A Mini (Purifi based) -> Vandersteen 3A Signature.

baxtus Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Rickie Lee by at least an order of magnitude. (Perhaps if I had AudioDoctor's HD800's I might change my mind.) Electrostatic or Dynamic Link to comment
Mark Powell Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 As I usually do, by finding something of his on the internet. You Tube is a starting point. Link to comment

Mark Powell Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 But as Water Music, with Christopher Hogwood/Academy of Ancient Music was the first CD I ever bought, I will go for that. Pixie Lott or Celine Dion Link to comment
