| Absolute Best CD Players Out There Under $12k ? FWIW, Judy's post strikes me as having a cruel undertone, e.g. "...ad nauseum...", "...always the greatest thing...", etc. Norm is one of the very few people I know of who is almost constantly trying new, cutting edge components. And I gather from... | |
| Which musician retired too soon? These are not individuals, but for rock 'n roll bands I'd nominate Buffalo Springfield (and, of course, that group Paul McCartney was in during the 60's : ) | |
| Best live album you've ever heard? Keith Jarrett's Whisper Not or At the Blue Note.Or Bill Evans' Waltz for Debby or Sunday at the Village Vanguard | |
| "The Ground" by Tord Gustavsen Trio. Anyone heard? p.s. Wasn't "Always Let Me Go" released a few years ago. Obviously I don't have it, but I just realized it's title is very familiar to me. I believe it was one of the trios "free" recordings, a la "Inside Out". | |
| "The Ground" by Tord Gustavsen Trio. Anyone heard? Dopogue: Thanks for the info on other Pieranunzi discs!Marty: I didn'mention "Suspended Night", but did mention Stanko. I like "...Night", but, FWIW, I like "Soul of Things" more. I haven't heard about "Always Let Me Go", nor can I find it at allm... | |
| "The Ground" by Tord Gustavsen Trio. Anyone heard? Yes, I have Pieranunzi's "Fellini Jazz". I recommend it, but it's generally faster tempo(ed) and "louder" than the ECM discs mentioned in the thread. That's not a criticism, just something I just wanted people to know. Another ECM disc I highly re... | |
| Sonus faber Cremona Auditor and Jeff Rowland?? Brain7466: I think you would find that the newer Rowland electronics - Concerto, 201s, 501s, 300 series, etc - would tighten and control the bass CONSIDERABLY more. Rowland gear has come a long way in this regard. | |
| Tally up best preamplifier ever CTC Blowtorch...but Pedrillo, I don't think you're going to ever get a "...genuinely accurate picture of which is the best preamplifier". Tallying these responses is skewed (obviously) by what people have heard, so preamps that are more expensive ... | |
| Which Is Better: Esoteric DV50s or Levinson 390s? 3zub: I'll respond since you seem somewhat troubled. I'm not familiar with either player, but suggest you do a search. I think you'll find quite a bit from several people with regard to some modded players being better than at least the Esoteric. ... | |
| Transparent , Kubala , Luminous , or RS Poiema I'll add another cable for you to consider: the Cerious Technologies. Some may "disbelieve" immediately when they see the prices and the new technology being used. I've owned and auditioned Valhalla, Silversmith (silver and Palladium),Transparent,... | |
| The Best Live album Keith Jarrett at the Blue Note, John Mayall (with Room to Move - can't remember if that's the title), and The Allman Bros. at the Fillmore. | |
| What's your latest "Discovery" Steven Bernstein's "Diaspora Hollywood" and Beethoven piano and cello music with Andras Schiff (2 CD set on ECM for the latter). I have to agree with Wagzel on Andrew Hill's "Dusk" as well, even though I've had it for some time. | |
| speaker synergy and halo jc-1's Vargus - In the price range you're considering I would also suggesting checking out the Merlin VSM MX and the new Cerious Technologies "Cerious One". | |
| Best solid state pre-amp below US $ 10.000,00 ?? I don't how any of us can say which pre-amp is THE best. I would certainly consider the CTC Blowtorch, however. Possible caveat, however: I'm not sure what the current price is. Good luck Frank | |
