Tekton Double Impacts
Teajay, Given the 1 watt power limitation of the Micro ZOTLhow does it present complex symphonic orchestral music? I could imagine that with acoustic jazz (what I listen to 90 % of the time) it could be pure organic bliss. This suggests that a hig...

Shadorne, Feel free to initiate the topic of little ponies and determine interest by the feedback /replies you generate.  It may reach  (or exceed) the participation of music/recording posters. Who knows?Charles

With 86 pages and 4200 + posts what more would you like to see regarding the SR or other upgrade fuses Don? Both sides of the issue have been presented ad Nauseum. Music/recording recommendations have been an intergral part of this thread for quit...

David_ten, Congratulations on your new speakers.  I use the Star Sound Apprentice platforms beneath my speakers and they're truly an asset.  However as the speaker is supported by only the upward facing spikes the speakers can be knocked over with...

Ozzy,When you described the Atma-Sphere as more natural sounding than the Pass Labs,  case closed IMO.  What's more desirable than improving that elusive characteristic? Natural = organic= realism. Charles

Jond, See if this is available on tidal, "Night Lights " leader is Gerry Mulligan (baritone saxophone) of a sextet featuring Jim Hall and the superb Art Farmer (trumpet and flugelhorn). Jond this is simply beautiful jazz!Charles

Frank,We really do have quite similar taste. I purchased that 4 Disc set of Jimmy Giuffre-Jim Hall collaboration last fall and have listened to it in its entirety several times. In my opinion a mixture of West Coast cool and a Avant Garde influenc...

Frank,Love those pictures which document a very special period in the evolution of jazz. The West Coast jazz s scene was very vibrant and is strongly linked with the "Cool Jazz " movement of the early1950s thru the early 1960s. There are many deba...

I just ordered the Candoli "Little Band Big Jazz "  pianist Vince Guaraldi, Collett on tenor, Leroy Vinegar on bass? This has to be terrific by default. Charles

Frank,Buddy Collett,  yep he's a wonderful musician who seemingly mastered many of the reed/woodwind instruments. He and Herbie Mann collaborated on "Flute Fraternity " in the late 1950s. Buddy plays clarinet, flute,  alto and tenor saxophones.  T...

Hi Ozzy,IMO there's no specific areas to really analyze. I'd just listen to a variety of music you enjoy. Your ears and spontaneous response to what you hear will determine the best combination for your listening.Charles 
PS Audio PWT - cd transport
Lowrider ,It is wonderful that Al was able to solve your problem.  I didn't know what the issue  involving the PWT was. I just knew what you described is the antithesis of what I've heard this excellent transport provide. Charles Wasson

Hi Jond,I’ll certainly seek that recording out. Thanks for the recommendation as I really enjoy his playing. Jond one current vibraphonist I failed to mention is Jason Marsalis. He’s know primarily as a drummer (for good reason) but he’s also a ve...
