| Jazz for aficionados Rok, very important if you do decide to try the Yamaha again. Sounds like you haven’t used it in while. Play at least an entire CD before judging; needs to warm up...seriously. | |
| New Santana Album "Africa Speaks" Especially when they attempt musical analysis and philosophize about musical matters in incoherent ways; then, go on to focus on the after-the-fact “compression” of the music which is a production value and ultimately has little to do with the art... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Rok, it really would be unfair and probably unproductive for me to give you specific amp recommendations. I don’t know your particular amps, but I’m sure that they sound good. My recommendation is simply to stay open minded about the impact that a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados **** First, the Miles Davis cult stated that KOB was better than "Somethin Else" ****No, O-10, that’s not how this silly argument started. No one stated that KOB was “better” than SE. YOU went out of your way to put down KOB and stated that SE wa... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Have you tried the Oppo directly into the M-60? That’s the first thing that I would try. You may find a nice improvement in transparency. If you want to really improve timbre there is nothing like tubes. They are not cheap and are not as hassle fr... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, please, this is really getting silly, childish and you are embarrassing yourself. You went back and edited the clip and changed it to the original version with Adams; different album cover and all. You’ve made the same mistake twice before w... | |
| Jazz for aficionados “Expression”:I would agree it is not the most accessible, but it was a direct and demonstrably natural place for his playing to be at. I certainly would not think of attaching “fault” to any of the music. Not disjointed at all, but free of the u... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, with respect, there is no logic to your argument. First of all, if you want to go down that road, you can start by suggesting that it be called a “Ronnie Cuber” album. That is Ronnie Cuber, not Adams. Secondly, it is not about logic; it ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I thought we had moved on from“Somethin Else” . Alas. That players sometimes play the same tune in different ways goes without saying. Now, re the two versions of “Love For Sale” :Thanks for making my point for me. What is the most important thing... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I get where you’re coming from and I agree that your attitude re equipment is the right approach......for you. I have no doubt that when you listen to music on your system that you get far more of the message of the music than many who listen... | |
| New Santana Album "Africa Speaks" Come now, the OP did ask “What do you think?”. What do I think? I like Santana. Soulful guitar player with a distinctive sound even if, as a soloist, he strikes me as a bit of a one trick pony. I like some of his “citizen of the world” musical con... | |
| Jazz for aficionados nsp, re your question:You should probably read the whole article since the author’s is actually a pretty sober outlook on RVG’s legacy. He is not putting down the sound quality of RVG’s work. He is simply making the point that RVG’s most important... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I should have written, “was” a great big band leader.... | |
| Jazz for aficionados While I normally prefer to post music intended for “community” consumption, I will make an exception for a worthy cause. Today is Rob McConnell’s birthday. One of Canada’s greatest Jazz personalities, he is a great big band leader and arranger w... |
