BeBop Posted December 6, 2006 Report Posted December 6, 2006 What do you believe in, without reservation? Perhaps something you buy without considering any alternatives, because you know you won't be disappointed and you know you aren't missing out on something better. Maybe it's a Bowie knife or Chevrolet car or Wrigley's Extra gum. Or what about people? In a recent thread, Vladimir at North Country Audio got, I think, universally high marks. Perhaps you have somplete confidence in Vladimir. Or perhaps it's Organissimo recordings. You know you'll never be disappointed, so out comes the checkbook every time another CD hits the streets. Post something; perhaps others will find it useful. As for my own list, well, I find myself equivocating, but I haven't given up. That Wrigley's Extra chewing gum looks pretty good. And the Congotronics recordings. I'd say 'anything Basie ever recorded', but there were the Beatles and Bond things... Quote

GA Russell Posted December 6, 2006 Report Posted December 6, 2006 I like Egg McMuffins (although I have had some that were over cooked) and Sausage Egg McGriddles. My Toyota Camry has never failed to start. Next month will be my tenth anniversary with BMG; and only once with BMG or Your Music has the CD not arrived in a timely fashion. All of my K2s sound terrific. When it comes to good ballgames, I ll take the Canadian league over anybody. Quote
