| Help me understand John Coltrane .... seriously. @erik_squires , E, this is another provocative thread you authored. I enjoy the questions you ask in this manner. They really get you thinking. Also, I enjoy how you adroitly "stay out of it". You are setting up the question and if a debate ... | |
| Help me understand John Coltrane .... seriously. Miles criticized Coltrane for playing too long and too much. But I think that was in the early days. I bet Bill Evans was thinking, dude chill and make it musical! | |
| Anyone have experience with the Tung Sol 7581a vs. EL34, KT66, KT88, 6L6 I finally tried the Gold Lion KT77s. Great tube. I think they are as good as the 7581. The GL KT88 was not as good in my setup. | |
| Manley Chinook with (very) low output MC ZYX? @johnss , So after a year of using the Burr Brown 2134 opamps in the Chinook, I bit the bullet and bought the Sparkos Labs SS3602. The Burr Browns provided a subtly nice improvement--mostly a lowered noise floor from what I could tell. The Spar... | |
| Help me understand John Coltrane .... seriously. Erik, I love jazz and I don’t love Coltrane. I respect him and like some of his work. Overall, I find his lead lines stabbing, terse and not very melodic. He often sounds like he’s racing through scales and modes. I’m with you. When I was first ex... | |
| Would you donate a dollar to have these Members Review a Product? MrDecibel! Of course you can join the cast of reviewers! I agree completely-we have to learn to trust our own ears. | |
| Would you donate a dollar to have these Members Review a Product? If someone like Ericsquires, for example, has been listening and tweaking for 30-40 years I’d be curious to hear what he has to say after living with a component for a month. Then it would be cool to contrast his view with several others who also ... | |
| Would you donate a dollar to have these Members Review a Product? @stereo5 , wow! So if you're a fan of a product line you cannot review any other products? And, yes, starting a website with a panel of reviewers is something I've kicked around for a couple of years. Maybe I'll take this subject over to Steve H... | |
| Would you donate a dollar to have these Members Review a Product? erik, you can be lead on any Luxman amps! But seriously, who wouldn't love to hear ordinary folks review stuff? I'd love to hear what Millercarbon thought about a Luxman Class A amp versus what he/she has and how it was living with it for a mont... | |
| Would you donate a dollar to have these Members Review a Product? Ha geoffkait! Nope--I want to hear your voice, your quips and your insight! | |
| Would you donate a dollar to have these Members Review a Product? @millercarbon, hope you weren't offended. I meant it as a compliment. I'd enjoy hearing 3-4 frequent flyers from these boards review stuff. You chime in with meaningful posts so you came to mind. | |
| Would you donate a dollar to have these Members Review a Product? So maybe the parameters needed to be spelled out. And, yes and no on whether this is serious, but humor the thought as you may find value in it. 1. Members don't own the gear. 2. Gear is purchased and makes the rounds across 3-4 members. They live... | |
| Guttenberg's Cornwall IV Review -- I'm in trouble @johnmohr, your post made my day--from the upgrade, description to the coffin comment. thank you! | |
| Have you heard of Tsuyoshi Yamamoto and Why no Tsuyoshi Yamamoto albums on Vinyl???!!! Hi All. I'm resurrecting this old thread because I got back into using my CD player. I'm not abandoning vinyl; I'm just going hard at both CD and vinyl because holding something in my hand provides more enjoyment. At any rate, I picked up a new c... | |
| Guttenberg's Cornwall IV Review -- I'm in trouble @ghjuvanni, we are walking parallel paths here. I, too, scoffed at Klipsch for many years. I used to think of them as something beyond its heyday. But 30 years later I get it. They are heavy. I guess we can call them huge. Pushing a tube amp at Kl... |
