My $99.00 System
Waitaminute! YOU get WIPED OUT and you still think you had a "great" divorce lawyer!? 
what percentage of us really knows sound
While the OP came off as a little bitter & angry, for reasons best known to him, he has a semblance of a point. Gotta say that I'm surprised when looking at photos of the various systems posted on the 'Gon, at how many killa systems look total... 
Anat Cohen Live -- WOW
AC is one of the great instrumentalists of our day! She's the epitome of what a successful modern day musician should be. Gifted, intelligent, involved with her own record label (the fantastic ANZIC), releases stellar recordings on a regular basis... 
What is your favorite Chick Corea CD/Album?
Been a big fan for close to 40 yrs! The last 2 times I've seen him were during his 'Ultimate Adventure' tour and this past summer with the 5 Peace Band. There's a terrific DVD of the Ultimate Adventure band in concert (I have it) that has fantasti... 
Low Volumes
To the apt. mgrs. - What about before 10PM?? 
Good Test DIsc
Chesky Jazz Sampler & Audiophile Test Disc Vol.1. Not only does it have an outstanding left/right/center/and beyond track but it was truly an eye(ear) opener on the track where they would play a tambourine slap miked up close, than a few feet ... 
Modernists Unite, or: saying no to room treatment
No question that the room itself makes a difference. I've just moved from a single home where I had my system on the 2nd landing that had wood floors. My turntable was sensitive to footfalls and when the system was cranked I experienced audible ba... 
Anyone successful in dealing with Tinnitus?
One thing I've never read about is the different levels of Tinnitus. By looking at commercials, one would think that to have Tinnitus is akin to having a high-decibel audio tone ripping through your head 24/7. And maybe, for some, it is. I've had ... 
Any Tom Waits Fans?
Own a lot of his music, but my favorite is the 1st one I ever picked up; 'Rain Dogs'! 
Jimi Hendrix- Valley's of Neptune
What's surprising is that it got a great review from anybody! I'm a HUGE Hendrix fan and have been one since the beginning (late 60's). I've read a lot about this release and although it's selling well (which speaks volumes)I think the general con... 
Jazz from 1957 to 1967 was the most definitive.
ALL music from the 'past' seems definitive or, 'more important' than music that's created today or in the recent past. Of course I'm not arguing about the relevance of the music or the musicians as it's undisputably excellent. It just seems to me ... 
Essential Zappa: what's missing from my collectio
'Weasels Rip My Flesh' & 'Live At The Fillmore', both Mothers albums, were released around the 'Hot Rats' & 'Chungas Revenge' period, and while not being totally instrumental (although there are some amazing instrumental cuts on both!), th... 
Duane Allman: An Anthology I & II
This thread brought back a fond memory. Back in the day there used to be this R&R 'tribe'. A group of musicians playing on each other's albums; Joe Cockers Mad Dogs & Englishmen, Leon Russell's band, the Dominoes, and the back-up band for ... 
Who Are the Best Young Lions of Jazz Today?
BJ - You're misunderstanding me, I never said they weren't gifted or talented. Many of the artists you listed are favorites of mine also, and I HAVE seen quite a few of them in person. My point is that 85-95% of those listed have been making music... 
Who Are the Best Young Lions of Jazz Today?
Great List! But not a single 'young lion' to be found on it!
