| Three best audiophile CD/LP in your collection Great idea for a thread, so thanks to the OP, abronfer, if they’re still around. A dubious "thanks" to qualityrecordshop for resurrecting it.I won’t claim these are "audiophile" recordings in the contemporary sense; e.g., the LPs are just original... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, Orpheus - Seems to me this might be another example of that objectivist/subjectivist music dynamic that generates much discussion on this thread...or at least that’s how I interpret it. You two are Yin & Yang, two sides of the same co... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Enhoyed the McCoy Tyner interview very much, Frogman. Thanks. (BTW - What a gracious, well spoken individual he seems.)A while ago I started Bill Cole’s book on Coltrane but got bogged down with some of the music transcriptions. Need to get back t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I enjoy reading your reminiscences, Orpheus. Thanks. | |

| Jazz for aficionados Frogman - I might not like Syzygy any more after reading your explanation (the intro, anyway) but now at least I have a better sense of what’s going on there. Very helpful discussion. Opens a little window that might also illuminate pieces other t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O - If you've not been in a while, a good time to go back! Your son might enjoy it too (and now, less likely to get lost, I'd expect). Would happily join if I lived closer. Visiting art museums is a favorite thing to do when traveling. I see t... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Todd - sorry to read about the mishap. If you are in the market for replacement mono blocks, consider contacting Merrill at Merrill Audio. He makes a range of highly regarded Class D amps, including mono blocks. Good luck getting up and running... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O - I DID sample the Mingus Git It & Fables. That’s how I knew to reference the Andy Summers. But yes, in terms of "did it rock my world?" (to use that cliche)....No. Even so, I can hear how radical that Mingus LP must have been when it came o... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hello again Orpheus - So the album is Mingus’ "Ah Um"? Andy Summers did an album of Mingus’ music called, "Peggy’s Blue Sky Light". Didn’t cover "Better Get Hit in Your Soul" but he did cover Goodby Pork Pie Hat and Boogie Stop Shuffle from Ah Um.... | |
| Tidal free trial subscription I have a Tidal subscription as well a Spotify Premium subscription. Can anyone say whether Spotify Extreme is something different than the "High Quality Streaming (Premium Only)" that’s being provided to me? I run Spotify on a MacBook Air and also... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hey there O - Funny you should make that comment about Portuguese. Learned a little Spanish. Grew up around Italian. For various reasons been exposed in the last few years to (Brazilian) Portuguese from native speakers. I expect there's a diff... |
