| Is there a way to bi-wire MMG s? Try The Planar Speaker Asylum.com. You may have to first log on to Audio Asylum.com. There are many threads and discussions on modifying that speaker. Also call Magnepan and see if you can get a x-over schematic from them. Good luck but I strongly... | |
| Calling all Recording Engineers I'm not sure it's the best, but it certainly is one of the great jazz recordings of all time. Aside from the usual superb playing by Evans, that recording captures the sound and feeling of the Village Vanguard like no other that I have heard. I ha... | |
| Calling all Recording Engineers Excellent observations in the above posts. Since the original question concerns "classic" jazz recordings I will add my two cents worth in that context; although the same issues apply to classical or any other music (including pop) of value. I thi... | |
| The universal language? Glad to see such honest interest in the wonderful music of other nations. There is so much to appreciate and learn; I am mystified by the fact that many music lovers don't tap these resources more often. Tracing the evolution of more familiar musi... | |

| Musicality" in a system? What IS that ? I'm game Gregm. I'll check in shortly. Regards. | |
| The universal language? Dekay, the Basque recording intrigues me, I'll try to find it. For tango, try Astor Piazzola's music; very passionate stuff. There has been quite a lot of interest in his music as of late by well known artists; Gidon Kremer is high on the list. A ... | |
| Music trivia anyone? Undertaker, YOU THE MAN! +2+2. "Donna Lee" on the euphonium, now that's something. | |
| Musicality" in a system? What IS that ? Detlof, it is we who are honored to have you on this board. Thank you. I find it interesting that it was someone (you) in an environment that is "close, introvert, and lonely" as you describe, that initiated a discussion on a topic that is if not ... | |
| Music trivia anyone? Right you are Rcprince. Good questions. What was Charlie Parker's first musical instrument? Hint, it was not a reed instrument. | |
| Music trivia anyone? Rcprince, not sure wether your questions are directed at Undertaker or not, so I'm going to jump in. 1. Al Kooper 2. Blues Project. 3. Steve Katz. I'll try again with my question: What was Charlie Parker's first instrument? | |
| Musicality" in a system? What IS that ? Paulwp, amazing ! I posted the above comments what must have been only seconds after yours. I could not agree more. Obviously. Cheers. | |
| Musicality" in a system? What IS that ? "Don't play the notes, play the meaning of the notes".- Pablo Casals. The ability of a performer to communicate the MEANING of the notes is what defines a musical performer; not all performers are musical. MUSICAL: 1. Of, relating to, or capable o... | |
| Music trivia anyone? OK, I guess it's time for me to jump in. Angela, if I'm not mistaken, Al Dimeola played with "Return To Forever" in the '80's. Here's a couple: 1. What was Charlie Parker's first musical instrument? 2. What (live) farm animal did Airto play as a p... | |
| "Saudage" and the music of Brazil. Tubegroover, three weeks in Brazil? Fabulous! If your trip happens to include Rio, be sure to check out what's happenning at the club JazzMania in Copacabana. For samba, best to get to a samba school. Closest to the main beaches: Beija Flor and Vi... |
