| Apparently new artist don't even know what a melody is and drum machines suck What are some of you guys talking about? “Very few musicians left”?!? Seriously? You’ve got to get out more often.Funny, while I agree about the intrusion of a “pop” sensibility into a lot of current “country” music (my wife is a fan of some of it... | |

| Internal Wire Upgrade for SME V Chakster, of course you’re right. Of course it is “good enough“; that arm’s pedigree is well established. Is it as good as AN or Kondo wire? I don’t know, but if my comparisons to Cardas and Discovery are any indication, the differences are not su... | |
| Internal Wire Upgrade for SME V **** Ah, the power of suggestion ****Ah, the power or idiocy and pent up anger. Or, is it just payback?So, you don’t think that cables can offer significant benefits in sound quality? If you don’t, then please ignore the following. If you do, does... | |
| Update on Audiogon Member Almarg Terribly sad news. What a gentleman Al is, and always was when he offered his invaluable knowledge and advise. A real class act. My thoughts and prayers to you and your family, Al. God bless. | |

| has anybody else noticed this about singers? **** when he stops singing you can still "hear" the notes. ****Great observation! He was an artist in the deepest sense of the word. | |
| has anybody else noticed this about singers? Perfect example of what I THINK Sam is referring to. Voice as rough and un”refined” as it gets. Coarse, not fine, gravel. No range to speak of. Yet, incredibly good sense of time and swing; like with his trumpet playing. Personality in spades. If ... | |
| the sound of massed violins in classical orchestral recordings 6119, thanks for your follow up. Do you have any analog recordings on LP; would appreciate knowing your reactions to string sound on a good LP recorded in analog. Thanks. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Outstanding clips! Thanks. That live clip kills. So does Jimmy Owens! Unsung hero.Gotta love YouTube. Can’t believe I found this. Rare record given to me by a college trumpet playing friend who loved Owens. Owens and Barron look like kids i... | |
| the sound of massed violins in classical orchestral recordings **** a friend who played in the high school orchestra and he was next to the violin section. To this day, he can’t stand the sound of violins and massed strings ****Well, high school 😱......... Funny you should mention this. Just before the COVI... | |
| the sound of massed violins in classical orchestral recordings **** harsh glare, a kind of steely sound ****Yes, but could also be described as “gritty, sandpapery”. Gritty and sandpapery is what I like to call a “soft grain”. Soft, because use of the term “grain” is usually associated with a harsh sound. ... |
