| Bluesound products to add to hifi satisfaction? Hello kalali and 2psyop - I’ve got an Aries Mini. Might have been happy with a Node2 though I think I had some concerns about whether it did USB out and ability to handle hi rez files. Anyway, another A’gon member (jond?) recommended the Aries Min... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Apropos of nothing recent but the serenity here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwmRQ0PBtXU&ab_channel=jazzhole13 | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok - I do think you are the one that needs to "read it again". I called your statement ignorant, not you. I said "selective memory" about liner notes because I strongly suspect you are ignoring those that previewed the music in analytical terms; ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman - Take my advice. Don’t even bother responding. It is wasted effort. Extraordinary and disappointing to read of a lack of interest on the one hand and scornful dismissal on the other for learning more about something one professes to love.... | |
| Something just isn't there Hey lobster - Looked up your Josephs. They resemble somewhat (2 way, lower sensitivity, driver dimensions, similar size cabinet) the Totem Forests I am running. All the speaker placement and room treatment advice you got is worth pursuing if you... | |
| Something just isn't there lobsterotter - Clueless as to what is missing for you. A couple of recent experiences might be relevant, however. Played around with added damping to subwoofers. Initially it seemed a few pounds (4-5#) on top of the cabinets tightened things up... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Orpheus - enjoyed your comments about Soul and Jazz. You can have soul music without jazz but the best jazz music got to have soul. You realize of course that you and Frogman are Yang/Yin, Head/Heart, Objective/Subjective...polar opposites - but... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hey fourwinds - Glad you took my little rant as humor. Getting an original pressing of that Spyrogyra LP is a NICE present. I can see where you are coming from talking about Aja and Gaucho in the context. Add Royal Scam to the list (some tracks fr... | |
| Jazz for aficionados fourwinds - I think rok, arbiter of all that is good and true jazz, is the one to look to for an authoritative answer about SpyroGyra. rok - be gentle if you are able.Me? I’m a jazz aficionado dilettante and not qualified to have an independent O-... | |
| TIDAL Desktop Application or Chrome Browser? I can confirm what ahandler says re needing the Chrome browser for best Tidal playback quality...at least on a MacBook Air. Using Apple’s Safari web browser, Tidal’s highest resolution streaming is not available. The HiFi logo is grayed out. There... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks Frogman. Well, I’m gonna pat myself on the back a little. I thought that might be Tommy Flanagan though given how shallow my depth of jazz knowledge is, it could easily have been someone else. On the other hand, to me, he seems to have a cl... | |
| Jazz for aficionados On the off chance I'm being called out as one who didn't respond and to whom the Ammons/Swinging for Benny sounds strange. I'm actually enjoying it. A lot more interesting than some of the (for me) snooze session "jazz jazz" that gets posted [s... | |
| Request advice-need "brighter" speakers than Totem Hawks B - See if this is useful...http://www.audiocheck.net/index.php | |
| Request advice-need "brighter" speakers than Totem Hawks B - My point asking about previously owned speakers was to consider whether that earlier pair might have acclimated your ear to greater brightness than the Hawks are designed to deliver. At the same time, I tend to agree with bond manp. Reticent/... | |
| I should have never .... I’m with chayro! Good advice from him and good luck to you. Hope you can figure out a way to do a deal for the Olympicas. The only caution is to hear them first with the electronics you will be using (i.e., what you currently own or new tube gear). |
