Why Doesn't Contemporary Jazz Get Any Respect?

Why Doesn't Contemporary Jazz Get Any Respect?
Krelldog, I can assure you that I am not a close minded idiot. You will note that in my previous post I did not insult anyone personally and I think in any meaningful discussion it is pointless to do so and is definately not a goo devate method.As...

What Tube preamp for NADC370 ? please
If you want to warm up the sound and roll off the Highs then the X-pre will work for you. The thing about the integrated that both the pre and amp sections a well matched in terms of quality. If you want to use the 370 as a interim power amp as pa...

Really the Rogue is so much better than the AR CA50 you owe it to yourself to give a listen you will be blown away by the difference. I disagree with the above poster that says that Rogue gear is warm and lush, their 66 pre is just the slightest b...

I recently sold a Dan Wright modded 333es. I had 20 offers in one night. I don't believe that blanket statements really can apply here. I was able to get good value on the price paid for the mods. On the topic of mods I have found them the most co...
