| Jazz for aficionados @rok2id "I don't understand why I am part of the problem. Please elaborate."The problem I presented to O-10 is different from the problem you see. I said: <<Too few do ("get it"), as denial of the history and lasting impact of American A... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @rok2id <<are you American?>>Yep. WASP baby boomer. Why do you ask? | |
| Jazz for aficionados @rok2id Your guess is wrong; that's not my thinking. My point was well stated - no need to ask what it was or try to distort it by re-stating things your way.You're clearly part of the problem, and you'll never see it. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @orpheus10 It’s a relief to run into Americans who “get it.” You too Schubert – thanks. Too few do, as denial of the history and lasting impact of American Apartheid runs very, very deep. It’s there for those who want to research it, but most ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados << The best Jazz drummers, you hardly know they are there. >>Tony Williams. Just sit and listen. If you can focus on sax or trumpet, you can focus on drums. Williams was the best. | |
| High output MC cartridges @chakster <<I think there is only one reason people buying HOMC cartridges, the reason is the phono stage that can’t handle LOMC. But if they got a decent MM phono stage to handle MI then a decent SUT (or headamp) will help to handle some... | |
| Looking for a good full range floor stander @schubert "I've owned over 100 speakers."Yikes. I'm at the opposite end of the spectrum; I've owned 2 primary pair in 43 years (Dahlquist DQ10a's, Aerial 10T's). My selection process was always exhaustive, and I've listened to over 100 speakers... | |

| Jazz for aficionados For decades, one of my favorite "unknown" recordings has been Yusef Lateef's "Live at Pep's." Lateef (like many) doesn't get the credit he deserves as a jazz legend.Just finished listening and wanted to share.This particular recording aside, I've... | |
| Recommendations for Vintage Speakers @geoffkait **** Sorry, dude. I did not say that. I said the opposite. Cheers! ****It was a direct quote. You said it. ****But whatever that sound is, of live unamplified music, that is the absolute sound.**** Scroll up and verify.Who are you... | |
| Recommendations for Vintage Speakers @geoffkait ****But whatever that sound is, of live unamplified music, that is the absolute sound.****Bingo. When you're familiar with sound of live unamplified music, you understand the absolute nature of it. They can vary the setting, the reco... | |
| Recommendations for Vintage Speakers @geoffkait "There is no absolute sound."It's sad you believe this. There is indeed an absolute sound.It's a simple and important concept. The absolute sound is what we experience when we hear live music. It is nirvana for music lovers and thus... | |
| Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music. @rok2id "Beautiful music. Typical left-wing liner notes."We've already debated the political divisiveness that makes its way even into this otherwise wonderful forum.Give it a rest rok. It doesn't accomplish anything to say things like this. | |
| Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music. To me, "Death Letter Blues" will always be one of the most heart-wrenching recordings from the Delta. It ain't load-the-dishwasher music - it's riveting and spine-tingling. |
