| It was 44 years ago that... Owned a lot of 45's when I was a kid (I'm 57), and of course handled and heard my parents LP's but MY 1st 3 LP purchases were The Supremes Greatest Hits, Vanilla Fudge, & Sgt. Pepper's. It's hard to explain growing up with the Beatles to peopl... | |
| Piece of Audio gear you regret selling Sold my Nak tape deck a few yrs back. Hadn't used it in yrs but oddly enough, I regret selling it. Got the same thing going on with a Denon tuner sitting in my closet. Hasn't been used in yrs, but I still can't bring myself to pull the trigger! | |
| What is the best quality boom box w/cd player. JVC Kaboom is the way to go! | |
| Why Doesn't Contemporary Jazz Get Any Respect? Jazz-Lovers Take Heed!! A few weeks ago NARAS decided to cut/get rid of quite a few categories from the Grammy awards. One of the genres chopped was my favorite music; Latin Jazz! I realize there aren't many fans here but cutting Latin Jazz furthe... | |
| thoughts while listening I'm mentally 'air-guitaring', regardless of instument or genre. Doesn't matter if it's Hendrix, Coltrane, or Nojima! | |
| What is “warmth” and how do you get it? Terrific dialog, well done fellas! While I understand what's been said, my experience has been a simpler one. I bought a pair of Spendor S100's in 1990. At the time, my system was solid-state driven. I was able to audition a pair of (at the time) ... | |
| Why Doesn't Contemporary Jazz Get Any Respect? While I'd NEVER put John McLaughlin And Smooth Jazz in the same sentence (although I just did!;), I'd agree about the sound of his guitar in his last few recordings being entirely too processed and sterile. John's most smokin' recording was done w... | |
| Why Doesn't Contemporary Jazz Get Any Respect? Interesting thread. But the true question should be; Why Doesn't JAZZ Get Any Respect?! When was the last time you saw a Jazz segment on an awards show? Where are all the Jazz stations on radio? Why are Jazz clubs so hard to find? IMO Jazz can be ... | |
| Live vs. recorded To paraphrase the Duke - There's only 2 types of 'live' and studio recordings, good ones and all the rest! I could easily come up with a list of great 'live' recordings and just as easily make a list of the 'dogs' I've heard! | |
| What music do you want to play really loud? I own 4-5 KC records, the last being "Too Cool To Conga!". Wasn't aware of this live record, thx for the tip!! | |
| Opinions - The Absolute Sound I understand and agree with the ops that for the price, it's a no-brainer. On the other hand, for those of us that were into the magazine (and all the others) 25-30 yrs ago, it's hard to reconcile today's version with what was, at the time, an ext... | |
| Is Jim Smith's Book"Get Better Sound"Best Book ? Seems like every generation a 'definitive' audio book is written. I own both Laura Dearborn's 'Good Sound' & Harley's 'Guide to High-End Audio'. My question is for those who own all of the books; will I find out anything in Smith's book that h... | |
| Tell the truth How often do you clean your gear? Good One Oz! Made me actually LOL!!!;) | |
| Most sophisticated and intelligent musician Bobby McFerrin gets my vote for most intelligent vocal artist. Just picked up VOCAabuLarieS and it's simply brilliant. Music & Sonics - 10+++ | |
| Eric Clapton Clapton Hey Swan! Sorry about the tone of my response. You said we're on the same page but I disagree. You feel the playing on Layla is 'fast & sloppy', where as I feel it's inspired. Layla is considered one of the greatest Rock records ever, it's arg... |
