| Spotify Premium vs Tidal ... opinions? Bob - Streaming from computer to a DAC external to the computer will give you better sound quality than trying to use the computer's DAC and running from the headphone jack into your 2 channel system. The quality of that outboard DAC will definit... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hey Frogman - Thanks for your insights into preparations for that Mingus sextet performance. "...that solo by Dolphy is deliciously strange." :-) Well said. I'm no Dolphy-ologist but the little I know, that seems to be the story on him. Zappa... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok - I think he's sort of conducting...counting off so they all hit the (time signature?) change together. Clarinets come in for a little break and then the trombone guy solos. Loved how everybody was really watching the drummer on his solo las... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok - thanks so much for that Wynton Marsalis. The sound is EXCELLENT on it. For one reason and another a bit of a downer kind of day but it is putting a smile on my face. REALLY liked the opening Horace Silver piece. Wynton's solo on Inner Ur... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Orpheus - OK. I getcha. No argument from me on the "artist" not always getting their fair share "back in the day". Plenty of examples even outside jazz where unscrupulous agents and managers ripped off their clients. Sad story about Grant Gree... | |
| Pangea Audio P 100 replacement cable Excellent. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Orpheus - apologies but you will have to connect the dots for me on the why for the Grant Green bio. Don't misinterpret my comments as being down on musicians getting paid and making money. It's more a case of their priorities...doing what they ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados YAW, Jafant - as ever, a pleasure to talk about the music. Hey Rok - when you get a chance, check this out. Curious what you think of it (hoping it is new to you but pro'ly. not).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuCbQCnoIzI Ciao. | |
| Pangea Audio P 100 replacement cable Did you look on Audio Advisor? Maybe give them a call. They are big on Pangea but you probably already know that. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks for the Caterina Valente, Orpheus. Not my usual listening but those certainly open a window back to another time, "In the days before rock 'n; roll" to quote Van. How did things get so f'd up? Love the somewhat busy string arrangement on... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pardon the non-commercial interruption...Just wanted to reply to Orpheus' previous posts and pay a compliment to Leon Thomas. At the risk of trivializing his talent, I want to say, "what a nice voice". When he's singing a lyric...no posturing ju... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Found Karma. Had not realized that's the album that originally contained, "...a Master Plan". So nothing's changed there for me though maybe I can listen a little further in on repeated attempts :-) The review on The All Music Guide is helpful... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Jafant - Listened to the album "Thembi". Things like Astral Traveling and the title song are definitely interesting and more accessible to me. Have to say, so far with Sanders, I like his arrangements...the percussion instruments he uses as we... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report jafant - decided to try, "Classics - Pharaoh Sanders". First track is, "The Creator Has a Master Plan". Like the title a lot (I don't think we're the product of spontaneous generation no matter how big you make the box). At any rate, loved the ... | |
| Silverline Speaker Opinion Uncledemp - I've never heard the higher end Silverline speakers. Given what Alan Yun can do for $2G and less, however, I bet they sound fantastic. I do think the narrow baffle of the Preludes is a contributor to their specific sound but don't th... |
