| Jazz for aficionados As Acman said, this is just a ’sweet recod’...got it lately, very nice Rosemary Clooney with Duke and his orchestra, album is called 'Blue Rose' from 1956. https://youtu.be/2BINtiLBHCI?feature=shared https://youtu.be/ND1pq66a1tY?feature=shared | |
| Time For a CD Player Upgrade As a long time user of cd players and someone who does not care for pc audio or streaming I would advise you to choose a player from brands that are still making and service them. Than, I would look for established brands that are known for making... | |
| YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics. I would say that being (or not) an 'audiophile' (or just having a decent gear) has more to do with habit of listening music than anything else. Cost of equipment may be a problem, as well as lack of living space, but when I look at younger folks ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Lenghty post, but interesting story. Could not share a link, so I copy pasted it. In the late 40s, there was a rumor that there was a "hermit," disenchanted and disillusioned with the world, supposedly "out-of-sync" with society, living in Cal... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman , nice words...and yes, best to him, where ever hi is. Perhaps one day Rok will share his name, so that we can have one drink in his memory... Orpheus also liked lady vocals, do not know if we have ever mentioned this singer, but I just ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @tyray Dont be shy, there are not many people posting here anyway...which is perhaps strange,because there are so many views of this thread... For our regular crew (and others too) this is another Howard McGhee’s album worth mentioning: ’Sharp E... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, I completely agree. The only 'reason' I would choose any over other (speaking of Miles) is because I like more the sound of some group, tone wise, comparing it other. (Coleman instead of Shorter. for example) As for Evans, seamlessly is th... | |
| Jazz for aficionados As Frogman wrote before, for him the Miles’ “Second Great Quintet” is the greatest Jazz ensemble that ever was. Any other thoughts? If pressed, I would probably pick one of Bill Evans trios, as one that I like the most...pretty obvious, I know | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, no need to explain yourself, I fully understand your point. (and I would dare to say, even perspective in which Miles headed in that period of time) I have not respond on your previous, longer, post about second quintet, because we have s... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I like his sound more than Shorters. In his autobiography, Miles said “He was a hell of a musician, but Tony [Williams] didn’t like him. Tony wanted somebody who was reaching for different kinds of things, like Ornette Coleman.” Williams, Hancock... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I could not even choose the one (line up) I like the most, yet alone the 'greatest', but definitely prefer the one from the KOB to the 'Second GQ'.Pity that they did not record more. For me, the difference is in the sheer beauty of expression of t... | |

| Anybody here buy a cartridge from 'highendbroker' ? If you are talking about this dealer https://www.highend-broker.com/ (he also sells on Audiogon) than I can confirm that I have done numerous deals with him (buying and selling) and every time had zero problems. Also, must add that I have never bo... | |
| Is It Worh Modding An Amp There is a thing you could 'mode' and it should upgrade its sound without the doubt. Prima Luna, as well as many other manufacturers in such and even in higher class use Alps volume control. It is in fact the crucial and weak link of many preamps ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I confess, there are some albums that I am not posting before I buy them.So, this one is quite obscure, I know that he made one album, there is some mentioning that he did two. Earl Anderza ’Outa Sight’ from 1962. https://youtu.be/LYKmm3tXX7I?fe... |
