| Kind of Blue SACD on a whim. @n80 Funny, I have 10T's. 7B's - no wonder you heard such good imaging. | |
| Kind of Blue SACD on a whim. @n80 Fantastic news. It's always great to hear that someone is thrilled by the combination of outstanding music and amazing SQ. Nice job on your description of the imaging as well.I'm beating a dead horse, but this was recorded in Spring 1959 - ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados In catch up mode again. Lots of music posted this week.As some of you know, the OP turned me on to Oscar Pettiford. Does anyone own this on vinyl (1957)? How is the SQ? Seems like something's off with the recording of the bass solo on Track 3,... | |
| Record Cleaner Advice? All, as I mentioned a month ago, the VPI HW-17 I bought online arrived with a damaged MDF frame. It's working perfectly. It's a shame, really. It had been pristine before the seller (a grand daughter who inherited it) did a poor packing job.I'm... | |
| New turntable: TW or Obama? This has made me interested in opinions comparing the Kuzma Stabi R and the "ancient" SOTA Star Sapphire.Does anyone here have the listening experience to weigh in on that? If so, how did you get there?All I can say is, when I put a record on the... | |
| Kind of Blue SACD on a whim. When you start a thread with "Miles Davis" in the title, you're going to get plenty of discussion. This has been enjoyable.Just want to reiterate - let's always be thankful that the art of recording had been nearly perfected (at least for small c... | |
| Kind of Blue SACD on a whim. @n80 @whart Great posts today. Everything very well said. Enjoy your journey n80. Obviously many in the jazz crowd are very passionate about the art form. Hopefully you'll let us know in 6-12 months how your exploration went. (You'll get the ... | |
| Definitely lonely to be an audiophile @ghdprentice Your career interests me because our arenas seem to have some commonality. If you'd like to share details, please send me a private message. If not, I understand perfectly. I've only exchanged private messages with one member so far! | |
| Kind of Blue SACD on a whim. @tablejockey No big deal. My apologies, but when you stated: That makes you the most enlightened here. Just enjoying the music. my inference was that those who eschew vinyl or high end gear are more "enlightened" than those who are into more fa... | |
| Kind of Blue SACD on a whim. @n80 Probably much more reaction than you bargained for today (i.e., TMI). I"m sure you'll love the SACD - you have an Oppo, so maybe you'll look for more. If streaming is good for you, no need. You'll know soon. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, fantastic Grossman clips, thanks! At least I’ve known about him for ages, unlike Berg. I appreciate your never-ending willingness to share great stuff with members here. I would say the “educational” balance is: gain for JFA members +9... | |
| Kind of Blue SACD on a whim. @tablejockey **** That makes you the most enlightened here. Just enjoying the music. ****2,000+ posts and you think non-audiophiles enjoy the music music more? C'mon. | |
| Kind of Blue SACD on a whim. @cd318 **** I'm not sure if any of the digital versions of KoB matches the superb Classic Records cut.****The CR is amazing. We're lucky the art of recording had come so far in the 50's.Late 90's - a friend was excited to bring a new "improved"... | |
| Kind of Blue SACD on a whim. I'm really fond of "Nefertiti." Wayne Shorter was in the group by that time and his compositions are fascinating. Recorded in mid-1967, less than a year after "Miles Smiles" (mentioned earlier in the thread). The quintet is probably the greates... | |
| Kind of Blue SACD on a whim. I only own three versions of KOB - early Columbia vinyl, 1995 Classic Records double vinyl (includes original and corrected speeds for Side 1 - the corrected tracks are in sequence on the 2nd disk) and the 1996 Columbia SACD.Of these, I think the ... |
