I mostly agree with bdp24’ s comments about the two writers (and their associated reviewers) on “technical” grounds (credentials?). However, I strongly disagree with the implied rela... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm I’m always suspicious of absolutist commentary and expressed opinions about what is the “correct” approach to any audio related topic when after continuous inflexible opinions, the opinions are not accompanied by some reference (if only vague) to ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados **** The instruments are just too limited. **** Needless to say, I don’t agree about the bass solo in Solar; I would not have posted it otherwise. That’s cool, we all have different sensibilities as concerns musical matters. Now…. The bass has r... | |
| Jazz for aficionados The OP, that is. | |
