| Perfect Wave DAC and Bridge Before running out to get a Synology NAS please be advised that it may be a good NAS, but the build in UPNP server is essentially useless for usage with TagNPlay (I have a synology NAS myself). Not a problem for me because I run assetUPNP on a PC ... | |
| Best Rock Album in 2010 Watch the Grammys and let the pros decide ....... | |
| Big Blue Tenor Sax You may want to check out Joshua Redman then. | |
| transparent cable sound signature I just added a TA reference speaker cable (I am using one reference IC). To me the two most striking characteristics are (1) articulate and deep bottom end - adding the two cables did more for LF response than my JL 113 subwoofer. (2) dynamics - p... | |
| Big Blue Tenor Sax I forgot to mention Charles Lloyd. Released on ECM, which is a guarantee for stellar sound quality. Very different from your run of the mill bob or west coast stuff. Blends different styles and musical influences. Contemplative, introspective and ... | |
| Best Keith Jarrett records For what its worth - during my recent Koln Concert exploits on hdtracks I discovered the acclaimed Jasmine album is also available in 96/24. This being a fairly recent recording, the higher resolution probably pays big dividends here. | |
| Big Blue Tenor Sax You can get older higher quality recordings. Art Pepper has 7 albums out on SACD, all of which sound excellent. Never mind he is also a superb player, offering plenty slow ballads to boot. | |
| Keith Jarrett - Koln Concert out on 96/24 Listened to the 96/24 version last night and was mildly disappointed about the improvement. On a positive note, I always thought the 35 year old recording was stellar on CD, and at par with far more recents recordings such as the Scala concert. On... | |
| Keith Jarrett - Koln Concert out on 96/24 I guess I did not really do the album justice by using (and misspelling) this term. From www.urbandictionary.com:1. impactfulSeptember 23, 2009 Urban Word of the Day A non-existent word coined by corporate advertising, marketing and business drone... | |
| Best Keith Jarrett records See my other thread on this subject. The Koln Concert is out on 96/24 on HDTracks. A must have for Jarrett afficionados. | |
| Wilson Benesch ACT heard a pair about 8 years ago though in house audition at local rep. Extremely fast and transparent, and very articulate bass, not to mention incredibale aestetics.Nothing to compare them to, no 2nd habd market, probably problems with service - b... | |
| PS Audio Power Plant Premier Power Cables I may (reluctantly) give it a try. I have one AC-12 between my PPP and universal player (used for MCH only), one between PPP and PWD/Bridge, and one between PPP and preamp, so I could very easily swap the AC-12 of one of my source components with ... | |
| PS Audio Power Plant Premier Power Cables I am skimping on the cable from the wall to the PPP on the ground that if the PPP regenerates the power anyway, why would you need a expensive cable for AC coming in? You could test this theory by switching your AC-12 with the cable between souce ... | |
| Best Keith Jarrett records Surprisingly no one mentioned KJ's work with "the European Quartet", which predats his Jazz trio work. I personally prefer the queartet over the trio. My favorite recordings of the European Quartet are the albums "my song" and "personal mountains"... | |
| Album which you have listened to most? Quadrophile, I only just stumbled on this thread, started at the beginning and noticed Zakir Hussain's "making music" made your list. So , sure enough I endorse all of the other usual suspects that have been mentioned ("kind of blue", "something e... |
