| Is Bob Dylan’s “visions of Joanne” a rap song? Oh, and thank you Larryi - your comments deepen the discussion I was hoping to have. | |
| Is Bob Dylan’s “visions of Joanne” a rap song? Thank you tomcy6 (from the OP). | |
| Is Bob Dylan’s “visions of Joanne” a rap song? As the OP, I was only referring to genre, not race. I have heard that Rap is considered to evolve from the Blues. Bob did not create Rap, Elvis did not create blues. Wendy did not create classical. You may not ever hear Bob’s version of it on a Ra... | |
| Multi channel Amps for a 7.2 setup based on PSB Synchrony 1 series + SVS Subs I can add my experience. Started with a top-end Denon HT, was not that happy with the sound and went to a McIntosh setup for way more money, much better all around sound, but 2 channel was still just OK. You can get good, but not great 2 channel w... | |
| Aurender music servers: higher priced ones sonically better? @ hgeifman Thanks! I'm not the OP, but have been looking at the N10 and and N20, W is out of reach for now. | |
| Yet another question about streaming I have the Bluesound, it's a great way to get into digital. Easy to use, great support, low price. I then upgraded it just by running it though my outboard DAC like you plan to do, although the DAC built in is quite good for the price. Of course t... | |
| Class A into Class AB @Tom6897 is correct on the first few watts. I own the Luxman 590AXII, it was a tough decision to go with pure class A over their 509 with A-AB with more headroom. I do not believe it's hype or marketing. For me, I decided I didn't need more then t... | |
| Cellular phone and speakers? You need a small amp of some sort and using one with Bluetooth built in or get a Bluetooth adapter to stream from you iPhone to the amp, which then powers your speakers. The iPhone does not have enough power to drive those speakers, so you have to... | |
| Books! For classical, try The Symphony, For the Love of Music, and The Concerto, all by Michael Steinberg. The NPR Listener’s Encyclopedia is a huge, but handy guide with recommended recordings. The encyclopedia of Jazz and Blues is a bit out of date due... | |
| Wood for a rack Careful about that door really being solid mahogany. I had some 1930’s doors that I thought were solid Cuban mahogany due to their weight and age, however, once I cut into it, they turned out to be pine covered by a very thick mahogany veneer. Her... | |
| cassettes CAN sound better than vinyl. I used to record all my just-brought albums with a Nak and Maxell/TDK tape. Luckily I worked in an audio/record store at the time so could afford to do that. Although I could not say they sounded better then the LP, it was very close and great for... | |
| Is improvisational jazz to impressionism art as smooth jazz is to realism art? @yuviarora I am replying in public because I never pointed anyone out, several people turned this thread into a political view, not just you, and nothing in my post was political. And then you went and insulted me. Why? I did look up the CIA and a... | |
| Is improvisational jazz to impressionism art as smooth jazz is to realism art? This was a great thread until someone ruined it with politics. And for no other reason then to point out his political view point -- which no one here cares about because this was a thread about jazz, music and art. And I was enjoying it. Some rea... | |
| How to get into high end digital? (Feeding a DAC) I am familiar with your Nak 5 disc CD player. The multiple disk was a nice feature, but it was not near as good as their Tape Decks, but the name sold it. If you want to keep playing your CD's, I would suggest getting a CD transport and feed it in... | |
| Is improvisational jazz to impressionism art as smooth jazz is to realism art? I totally get what you are saying. For instance, I like some Miles, but then I get lost in some of his free-form. I can appreciate what he is doing, but after one or two of his more improvisional stuff, I start to have trouble following it. My opi... |
