| Hear my Cartridges....đ¶ Palladian:Doverâs comment about the pianoâs left hand is spot on. Sounds a little âcloudyâ and indistinct in that register. This also causes the celli and bases to lack some definition and natural sound of rosin. Other than this issue the Palladia... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....đ¶ Thanks for the recommendation, Thuchan. Some impressions tomorrow, Halcro.  Itâs been a little busy. | |
| Hear my Cartridges....đ¶ Actually, and just for the sake of consistency and clarity, while I think the Palladian is fantastic, for me it definitely takes second place to the LDR in the ways that mater most to me.  I donât remember feeling (or writing) that it ties the LDR... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nice! Paul Bley was a monster. The clip and Alexâs mention of âemotionâ made me think of this. I loved this YouTube posterâs comment:**** Chet plays sometimes a note that is so tragic, so wildly sad that it feels like an angel just died, died some... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Without a doubt, emotion; and no cliche. That âAngel Eyesâ is fabulous. Thanks!  I can understand your association to âmodernâ jazz with the way that Pearson âextendsâ the harmonies of what is actually an old standard.  I would call the sound sim... | |
| Jazz for aficionados On a related note, another side of Duke Pearson:https://youtu.be/ATc5tTyESEQhttps://youtu.be/8ujI6e66ATQ | |
| Jazz for aficionados Loved the Dom Un Romao recording! Thanks. Great arrangements. One of the best Brazilian musicians to be active in the USA jazz scene. The three years he spent with Weather Report were my favorite period for the band. Made me think of another amazi... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....đ¶ ****  I feel as if something is fundamentally wrong with the presentation of the idea of the music ****đ | |
| Hear my Cartridges....đ¶ AT-33/LDR:Wonderful Ray Charles; thanks. You keep reinforcing for for me why I need to buy a LDR. Itâs really no contest between the two. I donât know what spatial or sound staging drama one can hear âin situâ, but from the first one or two piano ... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....đ¶ Thanks, Halcro. I think you may have missed the point I tried to make re the live concert you posted. I have to assume that you have attended live music performances in a first rate concert hall and not just in awful spaces like the one you posted... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....đ¶ Halcro, thanks for the additional comments. Just a few more from me; not as a challenge to any of yours, but to further explain how the process works for me. As you acknowledged, my (and most musiciansâ) priorities in reproduced sound are timbre a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Epic, indeed! Fabulous Trane. Listened to this last night. For me, Coltrane and Cannonball seem to compliment each other even better than on the classic records with Miles on which the stark differences in their styles border on the distracting. C... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....đ¶ Edit:  **** a but runny ****Should read:âa bit tubbyâ Too funny.  I need to slow down....maybe proofread ?  đ€ | |
| Hear my Cartridges....đ¶ **** Something I said Frogman? ****Patience, patience! Two days? đActually, if anything, what kept me from prioritizing a little bit of time for the comparison and response was, in part, what you didnât say. I havenât read any specifics re what ex... | |
| Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music. Gee, thanks for the warm welcome; and donât worry....**** Listening to Trane, Bird, or Miles, playing solo would be cruel and unusual. ****For you. That explains much.Enjoy. Â Cruel and unusual punishment? :https://youtu.be/qPCBqSy3lwk |
