| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Loomis - might this be the one you were referring to?"Art Blakey & Ginger Baker: "Drum Battle" (1972)http://artblakey.com/battles/ | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Hey Loomis...I will look for the video. I like Ginger as a rock drummer a ton and though I know he (and Jack) came out of jazz backgrounds I don’t know enough to say how good a jazz drummer he was. I watched a concert (on YouTube) of him with Char... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Loomis - another great contribution. Art Blakey compared to Ginger Baker, "like watching michael jordan play one-on-one with Herve Villechaize." Great analogy though I'm wondering if you are overstate the case?? on the other hand, I'm no jazz e... | |
| Your not a serious audiophile I'd you have?????? You’re not a serious audiophile if you aren’t curious how much better things would sound using Synergistic fuses; have even less curiosity about the differences between Red vs Black fuse versions; and have absolutely no interest whatsoever finding... | |
| Do you have a secret "guilty pleasure" recording? Electric Light Orchestra. Was just listening to and enjoying their, "Out of the Blue". Don't really care what the "effete audio snobs" think...so not so guilty, I guess. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Thanks Nutty. Looks interesting. Now I gotta go track down that Jerry Lee Lewis recording (though I really don’t care that much for him). Hope you are back to feeling 100%. | |
| I got my stereo back after almost 20 years! "I really can't hear much of a difference between Spotify, my ripped music on my Macbook or the transport."jzzmusician -Your unselfishness and charity towards your MinL is to be commended. Glad you are getting back to listening as you want. Is y... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Hi Mitch...I saw Robin a couple weeks back. Wrote about it 4/22 in this thread. Did seem like he still enjoyed playing. His sound was spot on to the records. He did quite a few songs from Bridge of Sighs. Hope you enjoy the show. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? @bdp24 - I did not know you held The Band in that high regard. I think we are on the same page as far as what makes them "special"...e.g., "technical execution that illuminates the composition" = "playing in a manner so as to benefit the song its... | |
| Best cartridge/stylus under $80? Another vote for Grado Black. As Czarivey notes, you can replace the stylus yourself and use either a Gold stylus OR an 8mz. Some seem to claim the 8mz is better than the Gold. They are both $150 at Needle Doctor. So there's an easy upgrade pa... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Thanks for the history lesson, bdp. Whatever their motivation for making it, MDM is an enjoyable recording. The Band on track after track in this recording and others displays excellent "musicality"...wonderful arrangements, soulful vocals, tech... | |
| Who has tried "TIDAL" vs other streaming applications? Chubaka - you need a DAC (digital analog converter). Toslink from computer to DAC. RCA (or XLR) from DAC to pre-amp or amp. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? YAW :-) jafant.Mapman - "Ain’t Got No Home"...I take it you are talking Moondog Matinee? Don’t know the version you are familiar with but the re-issue (black cover) includes a great Chuck Berry tune as a bonus track, "Back to Memphis". I really en... | |
| Who has tried "TIDAL" vs other streaming applications? grm - BTW & FWIW...I'm a happy SPOTIFY subscriber. | |
| Who has tried "TIDAL" vs other streaming applications? A college student listening to Dire Straits, Brothers in Arms? Ain't that kind of old hat? Nothing with sound quality worth A/B'ing from this decade??? :-) The illuminati here will definitely tell you Tidal is better...vastly better. Even you... |
