| Nagra electronics @inna Never miss an opportunity for a putdown. | |
| Looking to completely overhaul my preamp section, knowledgeable people needed! FWIW - I replaced a 6H30/EZ80 tube preamp with a Schiit Freya. Aries Mini (fed from ALAC-ripped CD files or Tidal) through Gungnir Multibit has become my primary listening source. I’m very happy with the Freya/Gungnir combination going into a Tara... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Interesting bit of history from the MJT Project website..."...the MJT Project builds upon over fifty years of tradition utilizing the euphonium and tuba as lead instruments in jazz. This tradition started in the late 1940s with "the birth of the c... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Since finding and subsequently greatly enjoying Daniel Herskedal’s "Slow Eastbound Train" which was greeted by some here with overwhelming enthusiasm, I thought to find what others might be doing "jazz-wise" with the tuba.Encountered, the Modern J... | |
| Full MQA music list. @jond jon - Things seem to have improved here too. Still some very occasional buffering but very short-lived. Nothing like before. Hardly any longer than the break between tracks on a recording. Improvement noted in about the same time frame as wh... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @cleeds Thanks for that tip, Cleeds. It got me looking at some non-trumpet/trumpet-looking instruments. I'm wondering if instead it might be a flugelhorn. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Anyone know the kind of horn Hugh Masakela is holding? Very clearly seen at 6:25 and 8:22. A variant on trumpet? Thanks in advance. (Please pardon the interruption.)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLdWKWu7HKw | |

| PREAMP technology shift? - Class A/ balanced/ dual-mono/ zero feedback vs. op-amp preamps Hello again Paul - @paulburnett Own a Freya myself and might have a similar set up. Phono pre for vinyl is singled ended; digital (DAC & CDP) is balanced - so there are singled ended and balanced inputs to the Freya. The Taranis power amp is... | |
| PREAMP technology shift? - Class A/ balanced/ dual-mono/ zero feedback vs. op-amp preamps @paulburnett "...the Schiit Freya is only balanced out from the tube stage...."Paul - I'm not sure that accurately represents Freya functionality. There might be some confusion based on a statement in the Freya manual. See the Freya connections ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks. Been smiling for the last 20 minutes or so.Gotta get me some of them Danish pants.Macero is funny! He does a great Miles voice. God help any OCD types working with some of those guys. Talk about getting stressed. Good stuff. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @orpheus10 - Good to read you are still capable of the mountain hike, O. Keep it up! Did not know you listen from a playlist. Ain’t that cheating? :-) In A Silent Way - HUGE deflection point. Never read much about how it was produced though. Box s... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Thank you Frogman. I’m responding to your last comments first. "...to focus only on the deflection points would be a big mistake. There were far more individualistic players back then who are really worth exploring...."That is exactly what is so h... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hello O. I could say, "I'm not surprised" by your recent comment about the Chris Potter "Dreamer is the Dream" album...but WON'T :-) There was some discussion about him back on page 206 Aug 26, 2017. I still don't "get" him in the sense of...Wh... |
