| Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music. @orpheus10 You do realize I was quoting rok2id for discussion purposes, I hope. | |
| Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music. @rok2id "Give it a rest. In Texas we say, 'that dog won't hunt'. There are folks in inner city America who have never known, or known of, a family member that has ever had a job. Generations."The more you post, the more we see who you real... | |
| Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music. So, rok, you said they didn't follow the "new work" once they were in the north. I asked you where that "new work" was. You said the jobs went overseas.Thanks for making my point. | |
| Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music. @orpheus10 "In one word, what took St. Louis down was "JOBS"; when the going got rough, the tough got going and left, leaving the majority of neighborhoods to those least able to fend for themselves, and crime was for some, the only viable way... | |
| Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music. @rok2id "St Louis has suffered the fate of all large cities."An incredibly gross over-simplification. Austin, Seattle, San Francisco, New York, Boston, Denver, Pittsburgh, Phoenix, San Diego - need I go on? Stick with music rok - your understan... | |
| Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music. @rok2id "When jobs were lost in the north, they didn’t follow the new work"Where exactly was that new work? | |
| Recommendations for Vintage Speakers @lg1 Yep the Quantum would have been a bad match.I know in the receiver world 160 wpc was "monster" power. Not so much in high end, especially for demanding speakers. And then there's the question of the quality of the amp.Which leads me to this... | |
| Recommendations for Vintage Speakers <<The Dahlquist DQ-10 would be on my list!>>I second that. I spent many, many years mesmerized by my DQ-10s' imaging capabilities and tonal accuracy. They were never regarded as speakers with an authoritative bottom end, but the bas... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Interesting that most posters here list rock. That's fine - rock is a genre I grew up with and enjoy.Is there a similar thread that focuses on jazz and blues? | |
| Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music. You're just plain wrong, and I can tell our disagreement will never be resolved.Keep in mind - Louis Armstrong was inspired not by piano, but by the rags bottles and bones guy playing his heart out on a tin horn.King Oliver, Buddy Bolden, Louis...... | |
| Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music. Piano is in no way the most important jazz instrument. You must be hung up on European heritage.Jazz and blues are founded in "vocal" expression emanating from the human soul. Wind and brass instruments are perfect for "singing" or "crying out" ... | |
| Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music. I'll never understand the Wynton critics.Why is creativity the measure? The man is a consummate student of jazz and a fantastic horn player. He's been passing the torch for decades. The jazz world is much richer due to his presence and vision. | |
| What were some of your early Hi-End audio gear/influences? @gillatgh: "today's worst will beat yesterday's best every time."There you go again. So the latest mass-market Onkyo preamp beats a 70's Audio Research SP3? And you might want to A/B a pair of 50's Quads against a pair of current big box store ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @big_greg "Santana- S/T MFSL"I appreciate that there's an insider language here on Audiogon, but WTF does this mean? Some of us have no idea. |
