| Jazz for aficionados Nice live “San Lorenzo”, keegiam. “So what?” indeed. There’s good stuff in every genre. Here’s that studio version:https://youtu.be/_RrUS2N2MyI | |
| Jazz for aficionados Loved the Slatko “Lyle Mays” videos, pjw. Hadn’t seen those. Really great stuff; fantastic analysis. Thanks a lot! | |
| The Absolute Sound vs Pleasing Sound The silence is deafening! ☺️ | |
| Jazz for aficionados Never forgotten, pjw; just a quick diversion.As usual, the real problems are ego and generalities. The ego of those who cannot accept that some are able to hear, or, ARE OPEN TO HEARING, nuances that they can’t, or, SIMPLY WON’T. So, anyone who be... | |
| Jazz for aficionados “Disgraceful” ? Give me break. Anyone claiming to be an authority who says that all amplifiers sound the same is, yes, a hack.Good night all 😌 | |
| Jazz for aficionados Another Chick Corea live clip. What a huge loss Bob Berg was! https://youtu.be/UhF179iXLyM | |
| Jazz for aficionados **** When it comes to the senses, we are pathetic!! ****Speak for yourself. You know, it’s curious, for someone who is so anti-audiophile you have brought up the subject of gear far more than anyone else here. Btw, I think you blew your punchline 😊 | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pjw, if I may offer a bit of advice. Whatever you do, don’t change cabling and add a power conditioner at the same time. You think some of this stuff gets confusing? Rule of thumb: change only one variable at a time. Power conditioners can be grea... | |
| amazing video about listening, in a very special heartfelt way. Fantastic! Thank you, mikelavigne.On a related note. In case anyone is not aware, she is deaf:https://youtu.be/IU3V6zNER4ghttps://youtu.be/Gl2a6w6sTAs | |

| Jazz for aficionados Nice gear, pjw; I’m sure it sounds good. I hear you about spending as much for the cables as for the speakers. You don’t have to, if you’re willing to buy used. Actually, you don’t have to at all as I’m sure the sound you have now is good; but ...... | |
| Jazz for aficionados No, I have not done blind tests with $7K cables, but I have heard comparisons of even more expensive cables in some very high end systems (not mine) and I assure you that they can make substantial differences and improvement. That is not to say th... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Marija, that was an honest question; no offense meant. I like audio, but for me it is a distant second to the music. There is no problem with what you say. To suggest a blind test implies that you don’t believe there is a difference. It may not ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Sorry I missed that two weeks ago, pjw. Great stuff. Re Kevin Deal: no, that was the first of his videos that I watched. I did buy a set of tubes from him a couple of years ago for my Manley monos. Sixteen of them; tubes, that is 😊. Ouch! I ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Yes. And....? |
