| Power Cord brands mixing. "Your Opinions" Mapman, there may be some logical way to do this but I don't know exactly which course to take. I'm thinking of trying one brand of pc from a small designer who sells at somewhat reasonable prices (reasonable for this crowd) and replacing all the ... | |
| Power Cord brands mixing. "Your Opinions" I missed this thread because of Christmas vacation. It's because of threads like this and the kind of members we have here that I love the Audiogon forums over all others. | |
| What is Jazz? I can't tell anyone what jazz is. It's too difficult to define and there are too many variations. I will say that others in this thread have made great points about the genre. My compliments. | |
| Are audiophiles people of sound prejudice? Yes, I think audiophiles are sound-prejudiced. Audiophiles pre-judge based on the expectations and preferences of what sound quality is, built up over time. It's human nature. Being an audiophile is about sound quality and audiophiles are very dis... | |
| Cary SLP 03 Bradluke0 the SLP 05 should be much better than the SLP 03 in every way. The 05 has been the top of the Cary preamp line for years and retails for more than twice the cost of the 03. The performance of the 05 which retails for $8500 should be inco... | |
| The Emperor DAC has no Clothes Learsfool, I like what you said about "build quality." It bothers me when people don't provide much detail about what they hear from the addition of a component, but right off the top it's "build quality" that is promoted. "Build quality matters, ... | |
| Blues, Jazz, Rock Violinists? Rok2id, who said Jean Luc Ponty was a jazz great? | |
| Blues, Jazz, Rock Violinists? If you don't like Jean Luc Ponty that's fine. To each his own. All JLP's recordings have not been great. But some of his recordings and live performances of those recordings have been nothing short of amazing. If you haven't witnessed it, you migh... | |
| Cary SLP 03 I previously owned the SLP 05 not the 03. The output impedance of the 03 is stated to be 500 ohms. There's the possibility that the output impedance could be higher in the lower frequencies. I'd be considering the output impedance of the 03 and th... | |
| The Emperor DAC has no Clothes So Audioengr, other than the renowned MAC Mini, what are some examples of reasonably price yet quality digital sources with low jitter? Any laptops besides the Macbook Pro? | |
| The Emperor DAC has no Clothes Thanks for your post. Appreciate the perspective it lends. I had the Centrance, and the EE Minimax Plus. I returned one and sold the other. Briefly had the Wyred DAC 2. I'm on the long list of folks waiting for an Audiolab MDAC. I do wonder how it... | |
| Blues, Jazz, Rock Violinists? Here are two good representative examples of Jean-Luc Ponty live. The creativity of his writing, playing, and arranging are special as usual. For me there is no one better playing violin:"No Absolute Time""Mirage" | |
| Best Jazz pianist My favorites are Horace Silver, Monk, Herbie Hancock. | |
| Blues, Jazz, Rock Violinists? In a thread about violinists I feel compelled to emphasize Jean-Luc Ponty, a master musician. (Grapelli is considered to be, but I haven't really heard that much, and did not care for what I heard) I love JLP's music and artistry. I've attended hi... | |
| Jazz Album of the Year? Thanks for the heads up. |
