| Who was the best jazz guitarist ever? I only know Egberto as a composer, never heard him play. I better check it out. | |
| Interface: Cartridge-Preamp or Cart-Tonearm? "Similar" was not quite the right word. I meant certain chemistry, synergy. Cartridge and speakers are two points where the energy conversion occurs, the rest are "wires" and "supporting structures" with the exception of the table itself which occ... | |
| Interface: Cartridge-Preamp or Cart-Tonearm? First I would match the cartridge sound to the sound of the speakers - they should be similar.Then I would match the cartridge to the tonearm. Then I would match cartridge/arm to the table and then to the phono stage. The final tuning would be the... | |
| Who was the best jazz guitarist ever? If anyone is interested in Paco de Lucia but not well familiar with him, I recommend "Siroco" album. I think it is his best release, and he himself thinks so too. It is in essence solo performance, no flamenco singing, with some jazz influences. H... | |
| How do you listen to new music? I listen to the entire album once in the main system. Yes, some music grows on you, but if I don't like it at the first listen it won't. The tracks I really like get recorded on my Nak deck and I listen to these compilations. I should be in the mo... | |
| Question on small bass drivers in tower speakers Is it more difficult for an amp to drive,say, two 6.5" woofers than one 8" ? | |
| XLR and RCA interconnects in the same system? Can there be connectors better than XLR, theoretically? | |
| Who was the best jazz guitarist ever? For my taste Al Di Meola's best and great work is "Cielo e Terra" album. It has nothing to do with jazz and cannot really be categorized. I also very much like some tracks from "Heart of the Immigrants", "Kiss my Axe", "Casino" and "Splendido Hote... | |
| Who was the best jazz guitarist ever? John McLaughlin. But I don't care about his music after 1992 though whatever he plays he does it well. So what? Also, he, along with Paco de Lucia, is the most technically proficient guitar player I heard. And he can play equally well jazz, fusion... | |
| The downward spiral..... It's a relief that at least female vocals sound better on hi-fi. And I believe that some just can't tolerate more real sound in their rooms so in this sense low-fi sounds better to them. | |
| Cartridge protractor- the best? Are you familiar with exhaust sound of Ferrari? Can't confuse it with the others. I heard that they invite someone to tune it by ear. In any case, it sounds better than stereo.Mounting cartridge by eye-balling it? That could be fun but I am afraid... | |
| Cartridge protractor- the best? Your ears. Spend a day or two aligning the cartridge and adjusting the arm and phono stage and you will find the best possible setting. Or you can spend $700 on something sold here, spend an hour and possibly get the second best.Your choice. | |
| Best Integrated amp for Wilson Audio Sasha Anyone familiar with Swiss music? And what the hell is A. Lange&Sohne anyway? Rolex I heard of. Swiss sometimes have interesting ideas about things including prices. As a result of this advanced thinking most of their stuff is good and way ove... | |
| The downward spiral..... It also depends, of course, how lucky you are when you buy used or even new.I bought some used items for half the price and some for less than that. Sometimes I myself look down at my system especially the Audiolab integrated. But I prefer to wait... | |
| The downward spiral..... Yeah. As I said in other threads $5k-$50k range in used prices seems reasonable to me unless the room is very big. This includes analog front end. Spend less and it won't be good enough, spend more and it might be better but not by much. My system... |
