| Jazz for aficionados @nsp You are very welcome. I love the tone of bass clarinet. Much preferred over the standard B-flat instrument. I played both years ago...not very well, mind you. Wish I’d taken opportunities with the bass clarinet more seriously; "Youth is waste... | |
| Aleph 4, or else? (good general purpose class A amp) I encourage your interest in First Watt. Using a recently purchased (Reno HiFi) F7 with Silverline Prlude Plus towers rated at 92 db. I have been very happy with the pairing. The F7 is 20 watts into 8 ohms and 30 into 4. | |

| Jazz for aficionados @pryso Pleased that clip connected. It is a quirky and memorable movie. One of my favorites too. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Okay. Thanks. If I had to guess, she woulda been my guess. Your Fifth Element comment reminded me of a music scene from another movie. This isn't jazz either...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJKpYnMMKKM | |
| Jazz for aficionados There is the top three, and then all the rest.Rok - Who is the third in your top three? (btw - no opinion about it, just curious). | |

| Speakers that work well with Hegel H30 amp (10K or less)? At the other end of the $ spectrum from Raido and Magico, I’m using a Hegel H200 to drive a pair of Silverline Prelude Plus speakers (~$2000 delivered) that are supplemented with two SVS SB1000 subs (~$1000 for the pair). The Silverlines took quit... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @rok2id Okay. A pretty easy to understand personal preference for Ella over Sarah Vaughan or any other female jazz vocalist - I get it. Making that preference some kind of universal truth is a different matter, however. What about her puts her in ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nature abhors a vacuum....So, in the absence of anyone posting, I’ll take the opportunity to post this bit of musical excellence: Bruford/Towner/Gomez "If Summer Had Its Ghosts", Track 2 Never the Same Way Once. Best I can tell from the All Mus... | |

| Jazz for aficionados @pryso Yes...I hear the same thing. Very different styles (not to mention different "voices"). To my ear, Sarah's voice is more complex with more character. Acman's link further underscores that. She tends to slide into pitch on some notes, I ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks for that. Sarah has the voice for which the cliche "smoky" was invented...or so I think. It has a lot of "texture" to it. Did you listen to "The Lost Weekend"? Thought it would be interesting to compare styles on one of the greatest songs e... | |
