| Best interconnects & speaker cable? I don't get it ****The most important variables, IMO, are unknown and most likelyunknowable.********"Evidence" is for trials, human heart and soul are for music.****I wholeheartedly agree with those two comments. It is human nature to want "evidence"; as is diff... | |
| Jolida JD9: I think I over-bought. Alternatives? ****I was really angling to use the high outputs,****Why do you feel that the high output setting would be better? The opposite is usually the case since you are then using fewer gain stages (less is more). If you don't need the extra gain that is... | |
| Which artists' music do you buy without audition True, but some artists are so good, so relevant, that I want to own even the clinkers; call me weird :-) | |
| Why not horns? "99.99999999999" of the time, with some gentle prodding and especially persistence, truth will usually reveal itself. Those desperately seeking support for a questionable position would do well being careful about who their bedfellows are. | |
| Why not horns? I am still waiting for actual and specific examples of the lying and bullying that HP is accused of. I also find it ironic and more than a bit laughable that Peter Aczel, the man who claims that all amplifiers sound the same, is being introduced i... | |
| Why not horns? Dkarmeli, specifics please. My definition of "lie" is not the issue here; yours is. Explain "misguidance and misinformation" with specific examples; it is very easy to condemn or criticize. What exactly are you referring to? I would like to unders... | |
| Which artists' music do you buy without audition Herbie Hancock, Murray Perahia, Bill Frissel, Guidon Kremer, Wayne Shorter. | |
| Best interconnects & speaker cable? I don't get it Broadstone, yours is probably the most reasonable, evenhanded and non-judgmental post that I have read from someone not sure of the benefits of cables. As has been pointed out don't sweat it too much and "don't force the issue". My suggestion woul... | |
| Why not horns? An honest question: what lies? There may be disagreement, but lies? Kindly explain. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Chazro, agree about Woods; one of the greats. BTW, he was married to Charlie Parker's wife. I posted this a while ago and think it fell through the cracks. Interesting look at his life as a jazz musician with some great commentary:http://m.youtube... | |
| Why not horns? "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" Kiddman, I don't recall ever reading copies of the Absolute Kiddman or of Kiddmanfile. Let's assume for a moment that you are correct about the use of a similar d... | |
| The State of Jazz Contrary to opinion, Rok2id and I can agree. I would not exactly call it sacrilege, but I do agree with the general sentiment. Krall is good and her records do sound (hi-fi) great; but Ella, that's a whole other world. But this thread is really no... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great stuff, Acman3. Sophisticated Giant was one of his first recordings after his return to the states from Europe. The live clip with Kenny Drew is wonderful and appropriate given a discussion in another thread about pop tunes as jazz vehicles. ... | |
| Paco De Lucia Very sad news. A beautiful player.http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Nv34G5b-ty8 | |
| The State of Jazz ****Then, I thought, why hasn't the Jazz Community produced any more recent songs that have become standards. ****are we producing any songs today that will become standards. I don't think so*****Just a few jazz standards (or appropriated by jazz ... |
