| Who is Most Beautiful female singer ever Karen Carpenter question: Sorry to borrow this thread for a second -- Mfb33, Garfish, Do you have a suggestion for a good Karen Carpenter recording? I'd love to have one. Her voice was magic. But there was so much vapid material. What should I try... | |
| Isolation vs. Absorbtion Sean, since you mention that your explanation of how cones do what they do was quoted at length by J Scull in Stereophile, can I ask for more explanation? No disrespect intended – for you are a sane poster whose views on AudiogoN I tend to pay att... | |
| True Confessions of a Soul Man Yeah, Tube, you talkin' about "the boss with the hot sauce." | |
| You got to show me something more! Coltrane1, you said, "I believe you have mistaken [my]enthusiasm of JAZZ for arrogance." I do appreciate the points you've made about jazz. But you did walk in here with a missionary complex, out to "enlighten" (your word, used several times) othe... | |
| Best sounding CD of Brass? Just received Ebony Jazz Quintet's "Brand New Bag" on Mapleshade. Would be excellent for your purpose. Good bite, air and buzz (where called for) to the brass. Unadorned, very natural sound. Two trumpets, fr. horn, trombone and tuba (playing jazz)... | |
| Ken Burns' JAZZ starts Monday on PBS! Hi, Snook2. Maybe someone else should have stepped forward, but Marsalis did step forward. The man has a vision and a mission. I have my gripes about him, and I share your concerns about lack of exposure for other deserving musicians, but I'm not ... | |
| Ken Burns' JAZZ starts Monday on PBS! That's life, folks. I agree w TubeG. How can you dig into the origins of the sound of jazz without dealing with racism (among other factors)? That would be the same as trying to understand the blues without dealing with racism. And what makes look... | |
| Best Music Review Resource Yes, it is a shame about the less-than-optimal quality of many recordings. I am bothered a bit when I catch myself selecting music to put on based on recording quality, because it limits my choices so much. This surely is part of the curse of audo... | |
| Ken Burns' JAZZ starts Monday on PBS! I'm really looking forward to this, but don't know when I'll have time to watch that much TV, even on time-delay. I'm sure there'll be much fascinating material, even though Sugarbrie's reservations sound realistic. Along these lines, note that al... | |
| Anti-skating question Hi, Joepetro. Not to put you off, but I don't think you can do better regarding what's involved with the upgrades than the OL site, www.originlive.com. Anyway, the numero uno upgrade is structural, not electrical. OL re-machines and replaces the c... | |
| Opinion on Buena Vista social club CD? Oops, a small correction to my 1-5 post. Ruben Gonzales' CD is not "solo." I meant to say his first CD under his name. Anyway, his playing is vigorous, refreshing and beautiful. | |
| Bituminous Damping How is this stuff as far as thermal insulation is concerned? Any concerns about heat dissipation and operating temperature inside the box when this is used? | |
| Best Music Review Resource Kitch, I cannot allow one more glorification of Cowboy Junkies on this list to pass unattended, esp. when it comes at the expense of Lucinda Williams. Yeah, Margo Timmons voice sounds nice, but she doesn't actually sing with it much. It's kind of ... |
