| Streaming music without a Laptop (or tablet, smartphone etc) I think Cocktail streamers might do this too. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, Figures you would be "steps ahead". hahahaI did give a quick listen to the Metheny, Brecker, McBride Jazz Baltica 2003. I do like Metheny but that straight up jazz guitar stuff just doesn’t (usually) do much for me. I did not get too far ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I am somewhat surprised that so few people participate in this thread.Quality over quantity, I guess. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @inna - Can’t say I didn’t try, though possibly my last effort to find some mutually gratifying listening :-)Not jazz (apologies O) but "Modern Composition". Dunno if that’s the same as your "Neo-Classica").Check out the Kuba Kapsa Ensemble. Kapsa... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, pleased someone else is liking Jazz Pistols. I could hear the time signatures were complex/unconventional and appreciate getting the technical details from you. The interaction between the three musicians is "tightly woven". Am not up ... | |
| Cable for my Rythmik F12SE Sub Greetings bdp. Thanks for that history on your Kimbers. Maybe some day I'll try a pair of Heroes but right now I've got a good few IC options "in the bank". I'll probably get some Kimber 8PR for the SVS subs. | |
| Tell Us about an Album That Took a Long Time to Grow on You Yes - Big Generator. Only liked Shoot High Aim Low when it first came out. Thought the album was too blatantly commercial. Almost 30 years later, now thinking this is a great album. Songs are strong; arrangements and sound quality are great. | |
| Advice on best upgrade path for a Mac Mini setup Hey @jond - glad to return a favor. | |
| Jazz for aficionados "...no musical ideas at all there."Huh. Well, inna, I'm not prepared to say that yet. Haven't made it through the entirety of Superstring but can say their music is growing on me. Right now listening to Track 6 Smbh and liking it. Only time w... | |
| Advice on best upgrade path for a Mac Mini setup @sbank - Thanks for your comments, especially the tips on the album artwork. I need to see if I can identify some common denominator between the albums that are missing artwork via the Lightning. I don't have any purchases from the iTunes store... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Wanted to share a new music suggestion from Spotify’s Browse/ Discover function: Jazz Pistols.Fusion from Germany (those madcap Germans, you know :-). Guitar, Bass, Drums. Instrumental (my preference). Latest album (on Spotify): Superstring (2010)... | |
| Inexpensive way to test Litz wire akg_ca - Would that were true all the time. I suspect there are a good number of cases where build does not reflect pricing. Instead, with some manufacturers, folks are paying a premium for brand name or some other "intangible" not related to b... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Inna - with all due respect, I don't agree completely with your statement about Miles' bands being one man bands. Sure, his influence must have been enormous but I do believe he gave his musicians (I almost wrote, "magicians") space to express th... | |
| Advice on best upgrade path for a Mac Mini setup Okay, jond. So you too are running the Aries Mini into an external DAC and still hear a benefit with an LPS. Good to know. That Sbooster looks like it might be better constructed than the Auralic LPS based on some photos I saw. Thanks yet again. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman - thanks for your insights into that HH Cataloupe Island performance. Just to be clear, I wasn't commenting negatively about the smiles at the end of it, just curious what the inside joke might have been. |
