| Jazz for aficionados Robert Spano (and Runnicles) is definitely one of the good guys in supporting the players in his orchestra; as Learsfool points out, an unusual move.http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/24/arts/music/atlanta-symphony-orchestra-music-director-backs-perfo... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris, yes!, ear protection mufflers over ear plugs. May not be audiophile approved, but effective. Actually, my tractor is a Husqvarna GT48XLS. Love the thing. I suppose that after so much time worrying about the micro level of woodwind spring te... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Terrific explanations from Learsfool; thanks.****Once he comes out of his latest 'Pouting' episode****Rok2id, pay close attention now. I realize that understanding things that go beyond surface level are not always your forte; and, I do feel flatt... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, " mid-twenties"? I was sure you were at least 50; attitude of an "old soul". | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners ****Instead one hears more of the structure of sound, and listens into the quality of instruments *and playing* quite a lot easier.****Precisely. And speaking of instruments, this relates to what is being discussed and, while perhaps saying the sa... | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? ****The irony is that silver is the worst conductor for analog signals (at least to my ear)****Not quite. Silver is the worst conductor for analog signals because of the way that many audiophiles tune their systems. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners ****Trying to go rigid in every aspect of a tonearm’s construction will not work when the source is so Flexible !****THAT is the kind of thinking that let's a sound system translate the information in the grooves (or pits) into MUSIC; and the kind... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Enjoy the colors, Chris. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners ****So my ET 2.5 runs with minimal torque on all screw connections. It sounds less artificial and more integrated to my ears.****Hah! Precisely my observation. Very good exchange, Chris and Pegasus; thank you. | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, as Schubert said: beautiful! Love tango. Acman3 beat me to it by posting music by Piazzola; thanks to both of you for the clips. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oB-RS000NLs | |
| Jazz for aficionados Schubert, I completely agree about Schubert; no other explanation for possessing a gift such as his was. Same can be said of Mozart and there is no dispute about that. It's difficult to understand what goes on in mind of such incredible ability. I... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****Yes, Mozart was unbelievably talented; but he worked damn hard at his craft, and THAT is why his music is so great****"People err who think my art comes easily to me. I assure you, dear friend, nobody has devoted so much time and thought to co... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****Why this untruth is so widespread here despite being contradicted by every actual musician on this board is a continuing mystery to me, and a fascinating one. ****A couple of related untruths are the idea that musicians (any genre) don't liste... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Schubert, Quebec ("qeeubek") sounds good indeed! Big, breathy tone and sounds fabulous on ballads; I really like his style. A little known factoid about him is that he was an uncredited arranger on a lot of Blue Note sessions (that he didn't play ... |
