In Reply to: Dianna Krapp is everything that is wrong about audiophiles today. posted by Shane from AUS on September 21, 2008 at 20:26:53:
First of all, what specifically is wrong about audiophiles? And how does this "wrong" manifest itself in listening to Diana Krall?? (Maybe I'll learn something.)
Never heard of MGMT before..... So we should dump Krall for this stuff......
