Northstar- thanks for posting the Whiter Shade of Pale video. I have never seen it before. It is surely one of the most hauntingly beautiful, iconic songs of that era. What absolutely amazes me is that, to this day, I have no f**n idea what the hell that song is about. I used to think perhaps I needed to listen to it in an altered state. Nope. No help there at all. Yet, I still love that song! An absolute classic.
BTW, on the subject of Cruise and audiophilia- why do folks like bashing this guy so much? Here he is on Jimmy Fallon mentioning Magico, McIntosh, Synergistic Research and vinyl and yet audiophiles mock him? Our hobby is dying and you can't pay for PR like that. Yet we turn our noses up as if he isn't good enough to deserve what is surely a very nice analog system. We should support comments such as his rather than belittle them.
