| what kind of audiophile are you ? In retrospect, I think Shadorne has hit on it. Those with systems where they are feeling musical bliss, those constantly changing out gear seeking bliss. I unfortunately fall in the latter group. | |
| Modern day female jazz recommendations Diana Krall has talent but to me she sounds like someone who mimics jazz singing. She sounds like she's "trying" to sing jazz rather than having a natural jazz voice. Maybe I just don't like the sound quality of her voice but my wife loves her. He... | |
| consonance turnadot cdp break in time No experience with the Turandot but have had plenty of cdps. A good rule of thumb would be 200 to 400 hours. Any cdp should hit its stride by 400 hours. At about 200 hours I'd suggest turning the unit off for half a day and then back on for 200 mo... | |
| Affordable Power Cords I've learned that any amplifier power cord should be at least 10 awg. I've used the Signal cable cord and it's ok but nothing special. It ultimately lacks in areas like refinement and smoothness. In your price range you could try an Element cable ... | |
| what kind of audiophile are you ? I'm not exactly any of the above. I love the look of equipment particularly in silver but I wouldn't say I'm a fanatic. I don't pursue accuracy because I perceive accuracy as sometimes, cold or analytical, too precise, too razor sharp. I like the ... | |
| Did you see Springsteens latest show??? Anyone see the Springsteen interview on 60 minutes? I like Springsteen although I don't have any of his music. I especially love "Streets of Philadelphia." For many reasons I believe it is one of the great ballads of our time. I hate to say it, bu... | |
| Raysonic 128 Soundstage All I can say is that in my system the 128's soundstage is as wide and deep as I've heard my speakers produce. This is compared to my Modwright Sony 999ES which is no slouch as a player. It doesn't give up or lack much of anything by comparison. I... | |
| Jazz guys: Bebop, Hard Bop etc. Knownothing, I have Blakey's "Moanin" and can also recommend, his "Caravan," which I got as a JVC 20bit k2, which are usually high quality re-masters. I have many of the Blue Note RVG recordings, including "the Sidewinder," by Lee Morgan. My only ... | |
| Jazz guys: Bebop, Hard Bop etc. Guys, thanks for the responses. I really don't have anyone to discuss jazz with since my uncle and I live in different cities now. If you don't have these, I highly recommend, 2 box sets, "Miles Davis, Seven Steps, The Complete Columbia Recordings... | |
| Jazz guys: Bebop, Hard Bop etc. Interesting Aldavis. I have Miles "Walkin","Kind of Blue" (seems like everyone has it),and "Miles Smiles", which is my favorite Miles disc. On the other hand, my wife has "Birth of the Cool", which repersents "cooljazz," but I'm not a fan of cool ... | |
| Jazz guys: Bebop, Hard Bop etc. Thanks Davemitchell: I recently purchased Blue Trane on SACD. As usual for Trane, it's incredible. From your breakdown, as I thought, my collection which is primarily Miles, Coltrane, Rollins and the other greats I mentioned, from the time frame o... | |

| Good way to connect 2 subs? Thanks Grant | |
| I envy what you know, not what you have Yes recenlty I sent an email to a much more experienced Audiogon member to thank him for his positive words about my cdp which he also owns. His words caused me to keep the player and now I realize that selling it would have been a mistake. | |
