| 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,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 | |

| Preparing for Montreal Jazz Fest, who would you want to see live? I second Joey Alexander. I'd love to see this kid live. If he shows up within 300 miles, I'm going.I would also throw a vote in for Lauryn Hill. Maybe too far on the R&B side for you, but she's the real deal.The other standout for me is Chi... | |

| Jazz for aficionados rok,The first time I heard Bitches Brew I was about 19 and still living at home. I had a high end system even then. Pioneer speakers, Radio Shack amplifier and an AR turntable. I put the record on, was suitably stunned. I left before the first... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Anybody ever listen to the M.O.B. Trio? I can't find anything on YouTube but here is a link to some samples. I've got a couple of their cds and like them very much. A bit out there, but very accessible.http://www.allmusic.com/album/loose-mw0000... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Man, I love this thread!Rok, Herbie Hancock's Butterfly--- First heard this tune live at the Paramount Theater in Seattle. I was completely knocked out. I'd never heard anything so wonderful and to this day it is one of my favorite songs. Chec... | |
