| Jazz for aficionados You guys are killing me! I've been working 10-12 hours a day for the past couple of months. I come home, land here, listen to music and go to bed. Geez, o10 cost me almost 45 minutes with one post. (Trilok Girtu)Thank you all. I've been listen... | |
| Jazz for aficionados acman3,Whoa, Larry Young? Who? Never heard of the guy and now I'm scrambling to find a copy of this. Thank you!Bob | |
| Jazz for aficionados frogman,You said, " Art reflects the culture. Think about it: is it any surprise that a culture that moves more and more towards the elimination of borders and away from individuality and self-reliance should see more and more "fusion" in art?... | |
| I got my stereo back after almost 20 years! George,I wasn't that I disliked her. She is a terrific person and it was wonderful for my kids to have their grandmother at the house for so many years. The difficulty was that I was essentially living with my mother in law's daughter and not my... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Loving the discussion of classical. When I invite a friend over for serious listening we always start with jazz. I play a cut, he plays a cut, etc. Then we find the blues, a little r&b and then classical. Sometimes opera and then make our ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados O10,Got it. Will do. Sorry if I offended you. | |
| Guidelines for buying used speakers (as in, are there any?) Yeah, read the feedback. But that's no guarantee either. I bought a pair of supposedly super fine Quad 2805s and one of the speakers arrived with a damaged panel. A month trying to work it out, ( not really good, but I got some compensation) an... | |
| Who has tried "TIDAL" vs other streaming applications? marktomaras,I hear a lot about Roon. How easy is it to use for a complete hack like myself?Thanks in advance,Bob | |
| Jazz for aficionados O10,You said, " I say that practice could take away some of the "instantaneous" improvisation required of a musician who is playing Trane’s kind of jazz, which was the exact same kind of jazz my friend was playing."I’m an amateur hack that has had... | |
| I got my stereo back after almost 20 years! Thank you all for your kind and at times, humorous comments. A lot of very good points and observations and I’m really liking the different perspective you all have.Ghosthouse: very good point on the difference in recording quality. When I first h... | |
| I got my stereo back after almost 20 years! marktomaras,I used aiff. And now you got me worried I made the wrong choice!Bob | |
| Jazz for aficionados O10,Okay, I’ve been locked into Eddie Fisher for the past hour. Any tips you can give me on buying his music on cd? I’d even go for some downloads.I agree that the scratchy version is sublime. The music is so good the scratches disappear.Thanks,Bob |
