| Sony PUA 7 to re-wire or not lohanimal, what wire would the arm be rewired with? If you can get it rewired with Audio Note silver wire for anywhere near the price you quote it is most definitely worth it. Fantastic tonearm wire that will surprise with the improvement in sou... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great record, pjw. Blast from the past; hadn’t listened to that in years. Thanks. If forced to choose my favorite of all his records, this other one would have to be it. Personally, I feel this period of time was his peak as a player:https://www.y... | |
| Jazz for aficionados **** Is there something that you don't like about his output since 2000? ****Not at all. To be frank, I have not followed his output as closely in recent years; post Phil Woods. | |
| Hifi or no Hifi that is the question For an answer to your question I think that it’s best to abandon the notion that those who care about “accurate reproduction” are necessarily better listeners and more connected with the music. It may or may not be true. Some who don’t care as muc... | |
| The term "High End" needs to die. Long live Hi-Fidelity! Excellent post, thank you. **** It is shrinking because we are making less communal investments in music appreciation and education. Thus, fewer people believe music is a worthwhile "investment" of their time or their money or both. The music is w... | |
| My rankings of some classical violin music in high resolution +1000 on the Milstein and Fisher recommendations. But, what exactly is “high resolution” and does this “high resolution” always serve the music? I would much rather listen to Milstein’s Capitol Records recording on lp of the Glazunov Concerto with... | |
| Favorite Collaborations Ray Charles/Betty CarterBillie Holiday/Lester YoungLouis Armstrong/Ella Fitzgerald | |
| Jazz for aficionados Loved the quote, mary_jo. Fantastic live Woods/Harrell clips, acman3. Hadn’t heard those. Besides the great playing one of the things that they remind us of (again!) is what a brilliant composer Phil Woods was. Great tunes. Interesting and complex... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Very nice Tom Harrell. Fabulous player with a thoughtfulness that in a way reminds me of Bill Evans. Love his playing. Check out his solo on this; pretty much as good as it gets (a 24 yr old Bob Berg is on fire).https://youtu.be/jzcgAaWK5GM | |
| Favorite Collaborations onhwy61, thanks for the Dailey recommendation, I’ll check it out. Great tune, Blood Count; it was one of Getz’ signature tunes. Several versions available on the Tube and all great. Getz was a beautiful player. I’m sure you’re familiar with the or... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Excellent points; and, of course, you are correct. A picture does not always tell the whole story. However, I don’t see it as a question of judgment. Miles was known to often be a very aggressive individual with a huge ego; personally, I don’t see... | |
| Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music. Excellent! | |
| Jazz for aficionados Yes, “Turn Out The Stars”.https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0q2VleZJVEnWR73QgHWaQUpoht3fHnS0 | |
| Jazz for aficionados Maybe I got it all wrong https://youtu.be/DXcjt6IoWiQ | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks for the Abercrombie/Bergonzi “Come Sunday”, nsp. Fabulous! I loved it. Great band with some of my favorite players. Bergonzi is one of the unsung heroes of modern tenor. Gary Versace sounds awesome. Now, I must confess that it took me... |
