I'm commenting today on Fred Simon's post. While I am hesitant to admit this because there are some very wise and talented people right here on this list who love the VG-8, I have to agree. Fred, you're talking like an audiophile here. This idea of tiny variations being missing is very hard to describe but it's real to me....

Since I agree with almost every thing Fred Simon and David Lahm say about music, and nearly everything Kakki says about politics, I'll be focussing on "Me Too!" posts exclusively, eh?
