This kind of test proves very little other than the fact that, yes, there are good modern instruments being crafted today.  Are they as good as the Cremonese instruments?  Wolf Garcia has it exactly right; it is the feel of the instrument to a par...

A lot of great live jazz experiences, minorl; and welcome to the thread. Would have loved to see Shirley Horn live; one of my very favorite singers (great pianist too). Schubert, I don’t know if you are familiar with Horn, but since you seem to ha...

Ghosthouse, thanks for the Jamie Saft clip. You are correct that, while I live in NYC, I do have a property in upstate NY. While I don’t know him nor Swallow or Previte personally I do know some of their work from their recordings with various oth...

The only suggestion that I have is to keep doing what you’re doing; the way that you’re doing it. You are a true music lover and your attitude reflects that. Imo, to be open to all that any music has to offer any listener needs to approach listeni...

Welcome back, O-10.  Hope all is well.Ghosthouse, I like the "School Of The Arts" clip, thanks.  I like it for reasons that don't always come into play for me when I listen to something.  You mention T Lavitz.  Like you, I have always liked his pl... 
What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience?
To me it looks like a well dressed voodoo doll; audio voodoo, that is.Stick cryogenically treated needles in its "eyes" and imaging improves.  In its "ears" and that high-frequency hash goes away.  In its "feet" and that ground loop hum disappears...
