| World's Greatest Tenors Charles, all good points.Michael Brecker had an ability to overcome the technical obstacles posed by the instrument that put him in a league of his own. I know some will be surprised by this comment, but not even Coltrane had such a flawless facil... | |
| World's Greatest Tenors Charles, agree on Dexter, and "Prez" would have been on my list if it had been four instead of three. I listed three only because the OP listed three. Since he didn't say "favorite" but "greatest", "greatest" seems to imply "most influential" sinc... | |
| World's Greatest Tenors Three great tenor players. But, the best? Wow! I don't know how its possible to list the three greatest and not include Trane and Sony Rollins. My top three.Coleman HawkinsTraneSonny | |

| Building a Magnepan System, Please Help... I am going to play contrarian on this issue. I believe that the issue of Maggies needing tons and tons of power is overblown. If one prizes natural timbres, dimensionality, and is willing to live with moderate volumes and less than plaster crackin... | |
| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D Nice, thanks.http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=omovUmbbAgo | |
| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D Wolf, c'mon man. For a guy who likes tube amps your are acting very solid state. Let it go. | |
| Building a Magnepan System, Please Help... Jrodefeld, a little more information about what you like in the sound of stereo system and your music preferences would go a long way as far as helping others offer truly helpful advise. Being that this is your first high-end system, to a degree, ... | |
| Building a Magnepan System, Please Help... I would strongly encourage you to try and hear the Maggie's driven by a decent tube amp. I lived with Maggie's for many years and I am convinced that Maggie's sound best driven by tubes; according to my sound priorities. Maggies', as already menti... | |
| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D Excellent explanation by Ralph; precisely what I hear when comparing the two, and especially in comparison to live. I am always somewhat amused by the comments by some listeners about "black backgrounds" and "black spaces between instruments" in r... | |
| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D I agree; maybe I'm a idiot too. While Almarg's (and others') comments about the importance of the amp/speaker interface as the determinant of how an amp will perform are very true, to my ears, just as with analog vs digital (PLEASE! I don't want t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****if you don't see or consider the history in music, you are missing a lot.****Agree completely. Certainly not a prerequisite for the enjoyment and appreciation of it, but it definitely puts things in context. | |
| Jazz for aficionados BTW, Learsfool, please post your impressions of Teagarden when you listen to that set. Thanks. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I don't think that Jack Teagarden's relevance in the history of jazz should be considered simply hype. It is true that the titles "King" of this or that were overblown titles, and partially the unfortunate result of the terrible social biases and ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Desmond Blue". Beautiful does not do it justice. One of my very favorite records. Interesting that this clip should follow the "Last Exit" clip. I can't think of two more different approaches to "jazz"; and, yes, I think the Last Exit performance... |
