| Jazz for aficionados ****Beware of any music with a prefix. Esp, modern, free, avant garde and contemporary, etc... Just use the prefix ' NON ', that would be more accurate. ****I think there is more truth in that comment than many realize; or are willing to admit. | |
| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D Something that isn't discussed nearly as often as the tonal qualities of good tube amps is the way that tube amps handle dynamics; particularly micro-dynamics. While I can't claim to have owned any of the very top ss amps, I have owned several ver... | |
| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D BTW, I was totally sincere re Wolf; no sarcasm there at all. I always appreciate his wit. | |
| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D I began to write a response to Melbguy1's admonition of Charles1d's comments last night, but decided to not post it since I figured Charles1 could, as he well did, defend himself, I didn't want another discussion to turn, once again, into bickerin... | |
| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D **** I found well designed tube amplifiers to be as transparent, clear and resolved as any transistor amp.

| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners You raise a good point, Chris. It's those little details amd oversights on the part of a seller that are deal breakers for me when considering a used item. IOW, if the seller was so careless as to not even make sure the points of the cones are in ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****I knew something was wrong with him****You crack me up; that was very funny. I am sure you have heard the story about Desmond being asked how he got that sound and he replied that he "tried to sound like a dry martini". Gotta love it.Re Rahsaa... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Speaking of jamming, this is unbelievable! How does one explain genius?http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-on4qQYDGVARahsaan is on fire. Tete, brilliant as usual. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I don't disagree with you except for two things. First is that I don't believe one ever knows too much. Or, at least, don't assume that knowing means there's no jamming :-) . The second, well.... its really not worthy of disagreement; it's pe... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners $1100 for that table with ET2 and cartridge is a fantastic buy; can't believe no one has snatched it up yet. | |
| Jazz for aficionados The challenge for singers when they scat is that, no matter what, they will be judged according to the standard set by the great instrumentalists; those are VERY big shoes to fill. Only a handful of singers, Ella being at the top of the heap, even... | |
