| Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store Yes, great article; thanks! Adam18, the Mk6' are the most highly regarded, as you know; but Mk6's are not all created equal. During the lifespan of that model there have been certain years when the horns produced were (it is no longer made) really... | |
| Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store Tubes, absolutely! Cryo'd brass is best; of course.Re who/whom: I am glad the question became a diversion from "the other" topic. While I may be willing to concede since I have never known Al to be factually incorrect about anything, I still think... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****Musicians who don't understand the story behind the classics, should stay away from them and write their own music; that's my firm opinion.****Couldn't agree more. Many of the great players made a point of not playing a tune until they knew th... | |
| Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store Lo siento, pero estas equivocado!Thanks for the attempted grammar lesson, but you may want to reconsider your assertion:http://download.cnet.com/Microsoft-Word-2013/3000-2079_4-75855647.html:-) | |
| Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store I think I have made my feelings about this sort of thing clear and I am not following up to take sides. I certainly do not mean to take any liberties or speak on behalf of anyone else; but as someone for who English is not his first language, I wo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, thanks for the Old & New Dreams cut. Beautiful music and one of those improbable times when ingredients that one would think would not make a good recipe somehow come together into an unusual but delicious dish. I don't mean the individu... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks for the clips, Acman3. What a loss, and what a beautiful player he was! One of my very favorites with a very individualistic approach to the role of the bass player. The clip with Gary Foster was a revelation for me; thanks for that. Foster... | |
| Skeptics believe:cartridge makes a HUGE difference Elegal, any information lost or distorted the instant that little piece of rock hits the vinyl (amazing in this age of uber-tech; isn't it?) cannot be retrieved or restored further down the chain. That is the most important stage of the whole proc... | |
| Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store I completely agree with Mapman. And great to hear for a dealer like Audiodistinction; that is the kind of dealer that will get my business. | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? I have to disagree. One doesn't need all that makeup to look good; and I wonder what the women here think of that comment. Enhancement? Possibly; depending on the tastefulness of the subject and the eye of the beholder. High end audio, in the true... | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? ****Just as spirituality existed for centuries before churches co-opted it, so too did music exist for eons before electricity enabled the music industry. The beauty and majesty, the spiritual uplift, that you treasure in your music does not depen... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I could continue the silliness and ask you to point out one single statement that I have made that is not defensible, but I will let your ridiculous comment pass and simply say that it is time, once again, for me to take a break from trying t... | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? Macrojack and others of a similar opinion. While there is value in being "realistic" in one's outlook on any given subject, sometimes this "realism" is nothing more than cynicism and counterproductive negativity masquerading as pragmatism if one c... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Not clear at all, Rok; especially given some of your other comments. Anyway, this is, once again, a case of "Mars and Venus"; some things are irreconcilable.No one is trying to "impress". I nor Learsfool (I am confident in stating) need this forum... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****Why not submit a list, for us aficionados, of GREAT Jazz players, who were great, BECAUSE, they went to Juilliard.****I am almost speechless. I have no idea how or why you arrived at the conclusion that anyone has ever suggested this. All I ca... |
