The Making of a Jazz Audiophile...Interesting Read


I found this in one of my internet searches for all things audio. I think some of you will find this of interest, especially you "old school jazz heads" like me who are deeply into jazz. Great to hear the thoughts of legendary bassist Ron Carter who to my surprise is an audiophile. Click on the link:

Thanks for posting this interesting article.I agree with the jazz musicians. Good audio equitment allows more connection and appreciation of the beautiful music they`re able to play.The more musical emotion presented,the better the component.
Regards.
Rok2id,
You can certainly develop a very good sounding system without spending huge sums of money. Everyone has their personal boundries for budget.Patience,planning and listening will get you a wonderful and enjoyable music playback system.

There`s no requirement for 33K speakers in order to connect more closely with your music collection.I know from past threads on this site you appreciate great jazz musicians as much as I do.The key is to get components that are 'natural' and true to tone,dynamics and musical flow.Higher efficiency speakers with moderate power amps(I`m partial to tube power amps) with good simple circuits is a good place to start.You need to focus on the components that convey and communicate the emotion that music has to offer(especially acoustic jazz).
