| Jazz for aficionados Hello there O - Some comments about your Metheny links..."Last Train Home" - I know this one well from the very good live album, "The Road to You". It's a beautiful song. Pat at his lyrical best. TRTY has a couple of tracks from Still Life (Ta... | |
| Best Drum Solos Thanks for the article, onhwy61. Enjoyed it. Found the excerpt below relevant in the context of the preceding discussion in this thread..."Why was he such an in-demand drummer? An examination of his ensemble playing, musical taste, and knack as ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Again, you are welcome, dl. Hope you like Spotify. I take it you haven’t been a regular user. Well worth the $10 per month if only to avoid the commercials (the bain of the "free" version, as I recall). Plus with a subscription, Spotify Premium SQ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados dl - hahaha...I’ll wager how interesting you find the story behind my "handle" will be proportional to how UNinteresting your own life is. ;-)Suffice it to say, it does have personal significance on a number of levels. Add to that, it’s something ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados dl - Here’s a link to Spotify for the album (3 Guitars) that has JA’s Timeless. It’s the last track. https://open.spotify.com/album/6G0dy3oudvTAHgdmX4XNSlHopefully Spotify’s SQ is adequate.(it's possible you will have to be logged in to Spotify fo... | |

| What integrated can replace over -bright exposure 3010? rrm - something low tech to try before spending on cable or new electronics... Have you installed any vibration damping under your source and amp? You might try something as low tech as white gum erasers from an art supply store just to see if the... | |
| Best Drum Solos Hello again, bdp. I appreciate your ongoing commentary. Getting later in the day for me and don't have the energy for the more deserved detailed reply. I completely get the distinction you are making between "technicality" and musicality...not ... | |
| Best Drum Solos bdp - I still might not agree that Ginger’s Toad solo is "miserable" BUT I do appreciate you taking the time to explain why you think it so. I also value the opinion of working musicians a ton (musicians as distinct from rock start wannabes, as yo... | |
| Subwoofer cable Check out used cable.comThey had a pair of DH Labs sub cables for sale not that long ago. Very inexpensive. | |
| What integrated can replace over -bright exposure 3010? rrm - Not to discount the other advice provided (esp. experimenting with different wire) but in swapping between different ampsI owned, was surprised to find a Hegel H-200 warmer sounding than the tubed pre/monoblocks (EL34) that I’d been running.... | |
| R2R NOS PCM vrs analog playback The Schiit Gungnir following the Multibit upgrade provides sound (from ripped CDs or Tidal) that, to my ear and in my system, is closer to vinyl playback (Grado Black w/8MZ stylus, Heed Quasar Phono pre, KAB mod’d. Technics SL1210M5G) than in stoc... | |
| Best Drum Solos Wow bdp. Don’t ever miss a chance to dump on Cream. But thanks for sharing your O-pinion. Hmm..."miserable". That sure changes my view of Toad. Buddy Rich calling Baker a "clown" just sealed the deal. Curious though, you being the professional dr... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O - Going back a few days to your Garbarek/Coltrane soprano sax comments, here's yet another voice. Track 2 from the album of the same name. Not one of Corea's more popular recordings, apparently (out of print, I believe). Have been spending mo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Huh...okay, O. I guess referring to her as a "classy dame" would be déclassé in the extreme. |
