Is all this really necessary?Just because somebody has a different opinion, feeling or appreciation?Even more, when all the talks is in fact about jazz....

Regarding 'soul'....Orpheus, it seems that you are following that old moto ’who ever is not with me, is against me’.Personally, my perspective about music in general or about other people’s choices is little bit wider than my own musical taste.Wit...

Went to cinema last night, saw 'Miles ahead'. Not recommended.But, it seems that 'we' are going in circles here, with all that 'new' vs 'old' jazz, with or without 'soul'.Just wanted to say, that, looking at the not so good movie, one must try to ...

Any comments on DAC going direct to power amplifier or to pre-ampliifer?
If that can help,I have owned and tried two combinations. First, Burmester 001 cd and 011 preamp, for my taste it was quite obvious that it was better with preamp. My latest combination is DCS Puccini, with clock and still I like it better with AR...

I found that article to be quite informative, saw nothing that could be considered as lie or perhaps someone's agenda?Correct me if I am wrong?Just a thought, I believe that nobody thinks that 'bop' or any other art form 'came out of the blue' ?Or...
