| jolida 202 or 302? Hey, try the 102! I played around with one when I was "between" systems. The 102b is a pretty nice amp for the money, even in stock form! Really, it's a lot of fun. Personally, unless your loudspeakers are grossly inefficient (e.g., less than 87 d... | |
| Who's Your Favorite Bass Players; Why? Duane: Your postings are very hipological. Thanks for reminding me of Mirslov! Here's a couple more: Bob Crenshaw, who is on so many Blue Note recordings. Doug Watkins, a contemporary of Paul Chambers. Herbie Lewis, Frank Tusa, Mel Graves, and Lar... | |
| Who's Your Favorite Bass Players; Why? Okay, how about Charles Fambrough--his groove. Charnet Moffett because he's all that. Oscar Pettiford--he has chops to burn. Avery Sharp--he's got great ideas. Santi Debriani--he can hang with the Ellington band or Oliver Lake. I'm pretty good (in... | |
| Best Sax Jazz Hey, I like Dolphy playing Bass Clarinet non "Serene," as well as several other selections! | |
| New Buddy Guy - "Blues Singer" Bought it today at Borders, put it on and was doing some chores around the house, so not a close listen yet. No complaints, but probably no Handy Award either. I wonder if this recording is some sort of a response to Sweet Tea's psychodelica? I do... | |
| New Buddy Guy - "Blues Singer" Splendid! I gotta git it! | |
| Who are the Jazz Cats on Audiogon? Rd: Let me know the next time you're at Yoshi's. That, of course, is the best place to hear live jazz on the West Coast! Cheers, buddy! | |
| Who are the Jazz Cats on Audiogon? RD94123: RU in SF? Check out 91.1 KCSM. If you're not from around here, they are on the web, of course. You sound like a real hip cat! | |
| Jazz/blues guitarist suggestions for SRV fan. I would say me, but I don't have a contract yet. I can send you some demo stuff though . . . | |
| I need a recording with a good drum solo . Please, ignore all rock suggestions. If you want authenticity, then you really need to check in with jazz cats. It's not that rock drummers are bad; it's just that they are usually woefully deficient in skill, execution, emotion, and musicianship ... | |
| Who are the Jazz Cats on Audiogon? Bravo, Schacter and Reneb! Any others???? Let's keep this goin'! | |
| Musical Fidelity A3 or Pass Labs Aleph 30 Gary: The way I understand the 10/100 "rule," the preamp output should be around 470 ohms. However, this doesn't mean that, say, the Rogue 66 (650 ohms) wouldn't work out just fine; listening is the key. If you have the funds, it might not be such... | |
| Every make a purchase you truly regret? Yeah, and the target! | |
| Musical Fidelity A3 or Pass Labs Aleph 30 CDMA: A VTL (2.5 or 5.5) has an output impedance of only 200 ohms. I'm using a 2.5 with the Aleph 30 which has in input of 47 kohms, putting you well w/in the 10/100 ratio. Enjoying the set up very much. | |
| Every make a purchase you truly regret? Thanks, all for the responses. I have recently "upgraded" from a simple ss integrated to separates, costing me four times as much (used). Is the sound 4 Xs better? Naw. Do I like the system? Yeah, it's nice, but I wonder if I would have been just ... |
