| Digital Source with Tube Amplification I use a SS DAC with tube preamp and amplifiers and just love the organic gestalt and deeply emotional involvement it provides ( I had used a turntable happily for many years). Charles, | |
| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill Lewm,Good point generally speaking, but there shouldn't be an impedance matching problem with the Coincident Dragon MK II amplifier. This sibling combo is likely an exceptional sound.Charles, | |
| World's Greatest Tenors Acman3, If you can find them on vinyl , good for you. My recommendations were the CD versions and all of them have exceptional sound in addition to the wonderful music. Charles, | |
| Ocellia Reference vs. Kondo KSL-SPz Hi,No I didn't compare them. They were compared by others on this site a couple of years ago and folks seem to prefer Ocellia despite their lower cost. I have no personal confirmation experience. I believe the cable Sksos1 prefers is Pranawire Cos... | |
| Ocellia Reference vs. Kondo KSL-SPz I use the Ocellia Silver Reference and find them superb! They won't add body, but will preserve the natural weight and body if it's present to begin with. It very transparent, open with beautiful tone and timbre. Like all things audio it is listen... | |
| World's Greatest Tenors Acman3,I'll suggest, 1) "Constelltion"alto and tenor sax, Bop and Ballads features Barry Harris and Sam Jones.2) "Stitt Meets Brother Jack" All tenor sax very bluesy with organist Jack Mc Duff.3) "Sonny Stitt" Jazz masters 50 on Verve. Alto and te... | |
| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill I'd say that it's obvious you'll want a good quality TT, tonearm and cartridge, all are important. You have to start somewhere and beginning with a recognized and praised phono stage that's available for a discounted price is a fine opportunity(an... | |
| World's Greatest Tenors Hi Frogman,It's funny as I went back and forth with the first two exactly for the reasons you wrote! Trane and Cohn have more distinctive signatures that I can recognized. I'd probably do better with the jazz trumpeters.Charles, | |
| World's Greatest Tenors The only one I'm sure of is Coltrane is the fourth tenor. I'll say Sims, Mobley, Cohn, Trane. Hope you're grading on a curve Frogman. Thanks for the music.Charles, | |
| World's Greatest Tenors Frogman,We forgive this transgression, now carry on sir. | |
| World's Greatest Tenors Zoot45 yes,the OP listed jazz tenor saxophonists to get this initiated. . | |
| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill Esstrand,The case for obtaining a top tier phono stage continues to grow. | |
| Your Preference: Resolution or Fullness? Frogman,You are so correct when you say you can't have "too"much resolution. I've believed for a long time that there's no such thing as too much resolution or transparency. The more the better as it just results in less veiling of what you hear.W... | |
| World's Greatest Tenors I'll apologize for taking the thread off course. When discussing music and musicians I can get very passionate and a bit carried away. When someone like Frogman joins the fray I just have to respond to the many interesting and fine comments he has... | |
| Your Preference: Resolution or Fullness? Chayro,I'd say we're hearing from those people who don't favor the ultra detail/resolution sound and for the very same reasons you've stated. Many listeners do seem to pursue the hyper detail approach but just haven't posted here (yet). The pro fu... |
