| Jazz for aficionados Rok, you are without a doubt (allowing for the vagaries of the printed word composed on line, of course) one of the most arrogant individuals that I have ever come across. Time and time again I show you the respect that you don't show others, by p... | |
| Jazz for aficionados The other six are available on the Tube and recommended. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I have no idea what a comparison between Weather Report and Wynton Marsalis' retro-jazz demonstrates or proves; but, anyway, re the notion that only music from the 50's and 60's painting a picture:One of the great things about Wynton's LCO is some... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Aargh! I can try Spanish, but I don't think it would matter. Sorry for the sarcasm, but I don't understand what is unclear about what I am saying. I did not say that we cannot judge art at a time other than the era when it was created. I said that... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Glad you decided to hang in there. ****you seem to be sayin that 'evolution' must mean improvement.****Absolutely not, and I would say that "improvement" in the "evolution" of any art is very rare!!! And not only is this at the core of our little ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Now, now, Rok, you promised to "never again". Well, this is one of those times when I have to ask myself: "Do I let that comment go by in the interest of not getting Rok riled up? Or, do I respond to the comment in a way that promotes healthy deba... | |
| Jazz for aficionados To the extent that affection for someone can be experienced via dialogue (?) on a forum such as this, Rok, I admit to a sense of it towards your passion for music; I have said so on several occasions. I have "met" few individuals on these forums w... | |

| Nakamichi TX 1000 turntable Thuchan, no need to make apologies for your choice of music. I like Paul Simon, and I agree that the sound quality of his recordings is generally very good. I apologize if I came across as critical of the music; it was simply a bad attempt at humo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Here it is. Hippest bass sound I've heard in a long time.http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=q6SbaYPU2LA | |
| Jazz for aficionados Wrong clip, sorry/ will post shortly. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Some thoughts about electric instruments: one may prefer the sound of acoustic instruments, but players choose to use electric or acoustic piano and bass not because one kind is intrinsically superior to the other. They are different animals altog... | |
| Phono stage good for classical and jazz? Congrats! Not in favor as it once was, in part because the trend continues toward the more and more analytical on the assumption that it means "better"; and trending away from the natural sound of music. Given your choice of music (great!) I think... | |
| Phono stage good for classical and jazz? I second Lewm's recommendation of the Quicksilver; excellent phono stage. For the sake of perspective, and for whatever it may be worth: I remember years ago, while shopping for a phono stage, going to a local audio emporium and comparing (same sy... | |
