| Standout track on an album Hey bdp - I personally think West is a strong album. The good news, as you know, with Tidal and Spotify and the like, you can check out an entire album and decide if it's a "must buy" for you...more critical for folks committed to vinyl, I suppos... | |
| Standout track on an album @bdp24 Have quite a few of Lucinda's recordings, though not Essence, as it turns out. Some gaps to be filled. FWIW, two standout tracks for me are "Pineola" from Sweet Old World and "Unsuffer Me" from West. | |

| Jazz for aficionados @rok2idYou are very welcome.Here’s a link to them on Audio Advisor under the "powered speaker" heading. Other brand options shown too. Buying from AA you would be able to return them if you did not like them. Don’t know anything about your intende... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Was way wrong about Satriani. Enjoyed the heck out of What Happens Next, now listening to his 1995 S/T release as per another Nutty suggestion. Great stuff. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @rok2id Check out the various AudioEngine models. I have a pair of A5s in bamboo. Not sure if they qualify as "latest and greatest" but they are good sounding and good looking. Affordable too. | |
| Tune of the Day @slaw What Happens Next from Joe Satriani's album of the same name. Nutty turned me on to this. I gotta change my O-pinion of Joe if this is typical of his stuff. I always thought he was just another shredder. But these are nicely structured h... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cg6JDTaxosAThanks, Nutty. This album is a lot more melodic than what I usually associate with JS. Great sound too. Bass is subterranean.This thing is LOUD! | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report @nutty Thanks for the suggestion. New music ideas always appreciated. I admire Satriani’s technical skill but like Malmsteen there’s no emotional connection (at least for me). But I’m curious how an instrumental project w/Glenn will sound. Thanks... | |
| Tune of the Day @slaw Been a little while but looks like Dulcinea is yet another example of overlapping taste. Great sonics throughout. For me the track that is most moving: Begin. Thanks for the reminder about this great recording. Up next for me. | |
| Need some Speakers with sensitivity >90db A floorstander alternative to the well-regarded Ref 3As: Silverline Prelude Plus (92 db). Used will be necessary to hit your friend’s budget range though they can be had new for under $2000 (and sometimes well under that). Enjoying a pair with a 2... | |
| Need passive aggressive advice For $700 bucks you could try a Schiit Freya or Saga for $349. Schiit does allow returns albeit with a restocking fee. The Freya provides pure passive, JFET unity gain, or tube (13 db gain) modes and is a balanced design though it will also accept ... | |
| Recommend some Jazz to me A jazz novice myself, O10’s recommended thread, "Jazz for Aficionados" (which he started, by the way) has been like a Jazz 101 course for me. My tastes, however, tend to run to fusion as opposed to the more traditional 50s & 60s jazz that is t... |
