| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding Typo alert! Pete, not Chris, Christlieb. | |
| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding Great Steely Dan cut, danager. The great Chris Christlieb on tenor! | |
| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding Sure, we all have our preferences. However, something that adds a lot of value to the listening experience is to recognize that what drives the shaping of our own individual preferences is the willingness, or not, to always maintain a certain amou... | |
| Gregg Allman .......I cannot believe it has been 5 years. Is it me? I admit that Southern Rock, and Rock in general, has not been my preferred genre for many years; and I’m certainly no guitar-God connoisseur. However, I grew up with and loved ABB and have always followed their players and the genre kind... | |
| Jazz for aficionados The next time we worry about the future of Jazz, we should listen to one of this guy’s series of performances out of his NYC apartment featuring some of the best young players on the scene today as well as his outstanding permanent trio. The joy ... | |
| Just got started on Qobuz. Can anyone recommend an album or song? Sure, listen to a great recording. This may show you what is possible; although, possibly just different. However, when making this kind of judgment (not streaming) I like to also include the opposite approach. Listen to a recording that, to you, ... | |
| UGH...The tired, "BEST" Rock guitarist thread Thank you, grannyring! | |

I would take it a step further. I d... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Staying in a birthday mood, today is the birthday of a great tenor player that has received scant ,if any, mention here. Great West Coast player with a warm tone and great swing. Happy Birthday, Teddy Edwards! | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thank you, Pryso. Great stuff! Sorry I missed the birthday party. Here is the original version; with Mingus himself on bass. What would a birthday party be without a clown? 😊 | |
| Favorite religious song So many great ones. artemus5, re Black Sabath, who knew? I didn’t. Seldom a good thing to be locked in one’s opinions. | |
| Art Pepper fans out there? Great player. Unique in that he combined a West Coast style softer-edged tone with the swing feel of East Coast beboppers. Many great recordings including the ones mentioned. For something different try the recordings with the Stan Kenton Orchestr... | |
| Can a great system make a mediocre recording sound good? One of the traps that we audiophiles fall victim of is that we often do not prioritize the musical merits (performance values) of a recorded performance as the focal point of the listening experience. Instead, we focus on the “sound” of that reco... | |
| SQ or performance? This question has been asked a thousand times in different ways and with different wording. Of course we all want the best possible sound quality; this doesn’t need debate. However, I think that the real question is how much does the listener rely... | |
| SQ or performance? **** But sound quality dont hold a candle to musical interpretation...**** Not much more to add. Great posts, mahgister. Since the subject is Classical music I will add that sometimes what is perceived as great sound is actually artificial so... |
