| Jazz for aficionados keegiam, I too was a big Coryell fan; one of greatest guitar heroes and one with a very wide stylistic range. My first exposure to Coryell was with his band “Eleventh House“ during my college Fusion days. I didn’t follow his career much in more r... | |
| New Tinnitus study and possible treatment (via Science Daily) sandthemall, what were the food restrictions besides coffee? Thanks! | |
| Have you changed your mind about a brand? Was it you, or them? bdp24 reminds me of what was definitely my biggest mind changer with his mention of the NYAL “SuperIt”; probably the most overrated piece of audio gear that I have ever experienced first hand. However, one experience should not a brand “mind chang... | |
| Jazz for aficionados pjw, fabulous Byas clip. Thanks. Look closely at the horn he’s playing. That is the very horn that James Carter played and talks about on the interview clip. Tell tale signs (video is not great): “DONBYAS” engraved on the inside lip of the bell. L... | |
| Classical music, symphony AND planar speakers That was one of the best sounds I have ever heard from a stereo system; and what started me on the HE audio trip. Driven by ML 25W moons and Janis subs. Remember it like it was yesterday. Blew my mind. First time I saw and heard Maggies, too. ... | |

IMO, far more tonally accurate and lithe; it isn’t dragging a box along. To some there isn’t enough oomph and weight. I disagree; especially for Classical. That is ... | |
| Classical music, symphony AND planar speakers Search “naked Magneplanars”. Lots of pics......lots of surface area, | |
| Jazz for aficionados pjw. thanks for the Carter/Bias clip. Love stories like that. That is something so many players fantasize about.....”whatever happened to xxxxx’s horn”. | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 ...and fretless; for that distinctive singing sound. Great player, Victor Wooten. Some bass! 👍 | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great!Boy, you sure do know how to get my attention. Great mp. One of the reasons that a vintage NY Meyer 5 (must be “NY”) fetches the price it does; at one time (and still) “everyone“ wanted to sound like Phil. Awesome player and composer. Beside... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I love many of the post-Coltrane tenor players; and, of course, none as much as Trane himself. However, I have a soft spot for many of the players that came out of the Swing and Big Band eras with a tone approach which was both softer edged, but ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados So, let me get this straight, O-10. According to your own words, you claim to “being able to distinguish various African rhythms“ due to your DNA; even though you are from a different continent and live centuries later. Yet, the DNA of African sl... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Wes Montgomery:Notice the producer of “Bumpin...”. Creed Taylor. Early example of the CTI formula and sound. |
