| Jazz for aficionados But I will make one exception. He is very famous, plays a few instruments, leads a group, plays with different musicians from various musical traditions, tours the world, teaches theory. He is very traditional but he sometimes takes the tradition ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I never thought of it in the words that you used, but I think you are right - no tension/release in Armenian music. Different state, 'position'. And constant tension/sorrow/longing, I would say.I intentionally don't post purely ethnic mus... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Orpheus10, you might indeed have American Indians' blood in you, or your predecessors had a lot of more than superficial contact with them. Memory is a very complex and in many ways unknown thing. There is a kind of memory called memories-in-feeli... | |
| The High End for Under a Grand? This would not be exactly high-end but not too bad.-computer HP Pavilion $300 or so.- Oppo dac/headphone amp $300 or so.- Grado RS1 headphones $700. - Audioquest cable $90.A little over $1k, sorry can't do for less new. | |
| Help me replace ancient speakers - or not Let the dream come true - Audio Note it is. And much better electronics and cables and power cords.Probably player too. Not necessarily all at once. But if you like your speakers.. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Orpheus10, the first track is absolutely great. It is not just her singing but the musicians too. Haunting, evocative, powerful, nostalgic in an unusual way, coming from very distant times. Now that resonates.Scandinavians, especially Norwegians, ... | |
| I need your help. I have an ARC Ref 3, ARC 110, Vandersteen 5As, but no turntable. Pear Audio turntables/tonearms deserve consideration as well. Point is that turntables of the same level do not sound identical at all. We all have preferences. Judging by your choice of speakers and electronics, your taste is not far from mine. I... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Armenians don't improvise much, their main musical form, besides folk and dance, is what I would call existential ballads, whether there is vocal or not.Azeri are close to Iranians. In fact, many talented musicians and singers in Iran are ethnic A... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Orpheus10, I liked the second track most, but they are all good.Iranian and Indian rhythms and art of improvisation go back thousands of years and must be respected regardless of preferences. I do not listen to Indian music much, it doesn't really... | |
| Amplifier for Harbeth 40.2 I would try both Gryphon and Ypsilon integrateds and would go with tube separates if I insisted on tubes. I believe that no tube integrated would cut it. No, I didn't hear what I suggested to try. | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? Both tubes and transistors suck and hybrids double that. I wait for the third way to be invented. But since no-one invents anything significant anymore the wait might be for nothing. Still hoping.We are as far from real sound in reproduction as we... | |
| I need your help. I have an ARC Ref 3, ARC 110, Vandersteen 5As, but no turntable. If I remember right, Fremer has Ypsilon tube phono stage, his favorite phono stage. Unless this has changed.Yeah, that Continuum must be something, but he compared the Technics with other tables too. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great belly dance music. I'll try to find some interesting Moroccan or Egyptian or Turkish music.In the meantime, let's call it Iranian jazz. Not bad, I think.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DayfXQXyenQ | |
| Jazz for aficionados orpheus10, you might've seen this movie or you might not. Soundtrack composed by Hans Zimmer, Gasparian's duduk. He is thought of as the greatest living duduk player.No, Armenian music is far from Arabian in many ways. Armenia itself is a very anc... | |
| Accuracy vs. Enjoyment Both are high end in my view but not the highest end, good enough for me. |
