Why limit your horizons to Cognac? Armagnac can be good. Vecchia Romagna is OK for the casual drinker. Asbach Uralt is too teutonic for me but some may appreciate the technology. Carneros, from California, is as good as anything France can make. And of course Calvados for breakfast.... -- Eiron There's something scary about stupidity made coherent - Tom Stoppard. I bow to your encyclopedic depth of experience. Don't know Vecchia Romagna or Carneros. It might be "as good as anything France can make" but... I have yet to taste a California Cabernet that comes close to good Bordeaux such as Chateau Pavie of a good vintage year. Sadly in impecunious retirement memories only remain. Armagnac to me is nowhere near good Cognac. Asbach Uralt had better not be mentioned in the context. Don't know Calvados. But, (perhaps I'm partial for etrhnic reasons), nothing beats frozen potato Vodka such as Polish "Luksusova" or Baczewski from Austria for casual drinking (accompanied of course by piquant mouthful of salty herring) Ludovic Mirabel. |

Date: Wed, Mar 8 2006 1:47 am Email: Stewart Pinkerton I prefer anejo in most brands. Typically it's far smoother IMO Reasonable, since that just means 'aged'. I think that there are legal standards for each in Mexico though. I picked up a very nice, very smooth, very well-made low volume reposado from a family distillery while I was there last month. Excellent stuff. IIRC, Anejo (aged) is aged in oak barrels for one year, Reposado (rested) for 2-12 months in oak or glass tanks. I may be wrong, but who cares? After a couple of either even r.a.o. seems bearable.:-) Now what should I do with this 15-year-old MacAllan that I have? Those ****ing Scottish gets are so cheap it was probably rested (briefly) in knotty pine tubs. That might be why it took them 15 years to sell it. |

Then they sell their old used charred barrels to the scotch. Thrifty is as thrifty does. |

They are more convenient, more readily available, and there is more music (my main interest) available in print.

It's amazing how so many different people that post on different forums have come to the same conclusion about her opinion on the CD versus LP issue. It is amazing, isn't it, given the above statement that I've made in the two audio groups to which I post. But then it's also amazing that several people thought that I've stated that I have better hearing than others, in spite of the fact that I've never said that; a fact that they realized when challenged to find such a post.

That's it in a nutshell, The potential for CD is enormous. Two words: sonically transparent. But this potential is often not reached due to a less than good final product. Actually, the potential of the CD format is *never* reached in the final product. Sad too is the fact that most people are perfectly happy with what they buy, and don't really care. As a rule, not even live performances are up to the potential for the CD format. As a rule, recordings of live performances are audibly trashed by the time they reach the mic cables, and generally things go downhill after that. |

The core of the misunderstanding by the golden ears is that they've never heard a mic feed with a good system. They actually believe that most of the life gets sucked out of the music further on down the production chain. |

Dave Plowborg chanted: To explain slightly, a CD and decent CD player will give an exact rendition of the material recorded on that CD. To clarify slightly, Plowborg is immune to all nuances of quality. He believes that his understanding of music is fully digitized and that the emotional impetus of composers, and the corresponding emotional responses of listeners, are irrelevant. He truly believes that his way of dealing with the vagaries of art is superior because he can concentrate on "getting the job done" without the distractions of human emotional response. |

The AES paper that was recently referenced seems to indicate that given the same input, CD masters can sound different one from the other. |

(rest of the crap snipped). Coming from you, this endorsement will have me paying a bit more attention to what Mr. Plowman has to write. Not quite a case of 'if little Georgie hates it, it must be good', but mighty close. I am still waiting for those sock-puppets... Definition of Sock Puppet: One who can feel Mr. McCoy's fingers at the back of his throat... How do they taste, Georgie? Peter Wieck Wyncote, PA |

Remember, this is a 14 year old AES conference paper, not a JAES article. AFAIK the only part of a conference paper that is formally reviewed is the title, and that review is at a fairly low level. So, any statements you find in the paper are questionable, and in this case, pretty much obsolete. One of the things that happened when this paper was given, was that it was questioned. None of those questions or the answers are in the paper. |

So, that makes the 20-plus year old ABX site even MORE irrelevant in terms of using as a reference. Cool. |
