| Another great gone, this time its Charlie Watts Charlie Watts mentioned Shelly Manne as a major influence. Not sure about what other drummers he was influenced by. | |
| Another great gone, this time its Charlie Watts gpgr4blu, Hal Blaine was another drummer who brought out the musicians that surrounded him in the studio. John Von Ohlen was a drummer for the Stan Kenton Band and taught at CCM and he always spoke about enhancing the melodic line. He started out... | |
| Another great gone, this time its Charlie Watts When I saw Buddy Rich with his big band, I new what to expect and I was very entertained. When I saw Paul Motian with Paul Bley and Steve Swallow, I had no idea what to expect and I was awestruck.I’m thinking Charlie Watts may have more drum solos... | |
| Another great gone, this time its Charlie Watts bdp24, Yes, there's certainly no problem with sounding idiosyncratic where it applies to rock/pop/jazz, etc.. Playing in a rock band isn't like singing a Bach Aria. And the impromptu nature of 'Exile On Main Street' gives it a charm not found on ... | |
| Another great gone, this time its Charlie Watts roxy54, I don’t so much think of Charlie Watts as a drummer as much as I think of him as a musician. Too many drummers believe that a flashy technique is required but typically the opposite is true. Studio drummer Gary Chester, who was also a grea... | |
| Another great gone, this time its Charlie Watts I listen too 'Exile on Main Street' and 'Between the Buttons' fairly regularly. What I loved about Charlie Watts was an anticipated kick that gave the Rolling Stones its drive and energy. As simple as those fills seemed to be, they took me by surp... | |
| HDCD To MacMini To Ayre QB9 Twenty DAC All-right, well that just proves how out of touch I am. The early Joni Mitchell HDCD's interest me. Recently, I purchased a Japanese paper sleeve of Nick Drake's 'Pink Moon' and was taken by how open and analogue it sounds for a cd. I spoke with m... | |
| HDCD To MacMini To Ayre QB9 Twenty DAC toddraymond,My amp was repaired and now I’m back up and running. Yes, as reported earlier with the Bryston BDP Pi, I’m seeing the h44 reading in the display which indicates that my Ayre is reading the HDCD file.80s_forever, thank you for the advice! | |
| Bach - Goldberg Variations you favourite Andante was my favorite label but they couldn’t make it given the production costs while attracting such a limited niche market. The Orfeo d’Or label has produced remasters of some very fine concerts. I am particularly fond of the 1950’s Salzburg ... | |
| Bach - Goldberg Variations you favourite Jim, I don’t mean to sound like I’m criticizing anyone, it’s just that I never see her name mentioned. Fortunately, there are a lot of good remastered mono recordings of early classical artists. And I realize that seventy year old mono recordings... | |
| Bach - Goldberg Variations you favourite Rosalyn Tureck was Glenn Gould’s favorite Bach interpreter. I find it hard to understand why I’m the only one who mentions her. | |
| Wireworld Platinum Starlight 8 USB I've had mine since it was introduced and I've never felt the need to change. Mine runs from my Bryston renderer to an Uptone Audio ISO Regen and then to an Ayre QB9 Twenty. As for the length, balanced cables shouldn't be needed unless the length ... | |
| Replacing DH Labs Thick Locking Banana Plugs on Eight Gauge Speaker Cable Yes, rotation does help though I spent ten minutes doing that and didn’t get any further. I guess I could keep trying. I was thinking that there might be some way of doing this that I wasn’t aware of, some special technique but I guess not. I don’... | |
| Replacing DH Labs Thick Locking Banana Plugs on Eight Gauge Speaker Cable Thanks Erik but the problem I’m having is getting the banana plug over the tube shrink and far enough down to where that it matches the length of other plug. I can work the plug down to where it’s close but not exact. I’m wondering how the tech go... | |
| HDCD To MacMini To Ayre QB9 Twenty DAC Hi toddraymond, I ended up buying a Bryston BDP Pi and since using it, I have noticed my Ayre DAC on the HDCD setting. The Bryston is a considerable improvement over the MacMini and the Bryston/Ayre Twenty combination is like a dream.Unfortunately... |
