| Pure Music vs. Audirvana Plus Thanks all for your comments - I have the newest MacBookPro, with two Thunderbolt and two USB ports. I bought an external hard drive that has both hookups. I do not have a network set-up, everything is hard wired. I downloaded a free trial version... | |
| Primaluna - Rolling pre tubes question... Hi - I have a Dialogue 2, and I had a 12au7 go out on me, so I bought a new pair, and they were not as good as the stock tubes were - the stock au7s in the PrimaLuna amps are pretty good. Next time, I will be buying them, as they were also less ex... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hi guys - I am still lurking here, and feel compelled to agree 100% with Rok's last post. This is a major reason why so many professional musicians do not have much respect for audiophiles - most of them, in my experience, don't actually care abou... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10 (and Rok) - I have been away from this board for some time again, and have returned this morning to read what has passed here the last couple of weeks with great sadness. I feel that I must respond to some of the comments made here. I pick th... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frpgman has made some more excellent posts - I would add only one thing in response to O-10's latest post about subjectivity and his example of 30 different people seeing 30 different things when looking at the same object. No one is denying this.... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hello all - I have been away from this board for several days, and may be for several more. I have read the conversation going on between O-10 and Frogman with great fascination. O-10, your latest statement, "Frogman, our problem in regard to the ... | |
| Do you listen to non-music media? I have some comedy albums, but the largest part of my spoken word collection is Shakespeare plays, most of them from the Caedmon label. For Shakespeare lovers, there is also a great record by John Gielgud of his Ages of Man one man show. This is a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados By the way, it should be said here of all threads - RIP Clark Terry. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Joe Alessi is a damn good player, period. In fact, I believe him to be the very best trombone player in the world - at least I can't think of another who is quite his equal. Met him when he came to do a master class at my undergrad school. One of ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @Schubert and Mapman -I agree with Schubert that Glenn Gould just doesn't do it for me, at all. I frankly don't really get why so many people think he is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Certainly Bach would roll over in his grave....@Frogma... | |
| Jazz for aficionados First, @O-10 - I agree with you on Lee Morgan. One of my very favorite jazz trumpet players. Such a shame that he died so young. Ok, @Rok - you still seem to have a fundamental misconception about how musicians work, despite our best efforts. Ther... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @Schubert - Since the Minnesota Orchestra does not currently have any horn openings, at least that I am aware of, can I assume that you meant your comment to be a critical one on the quality of the current section??@Rok - Frogman's reply to your p... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, that is one of the best posts I have ever seen on this site, where you explain differences between jazz and classical musicians to the layman. I was very tempted to chime in first when I read that question, but refrained, as I knew you wo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman said "where I have a problem in this shortsightedness is in how it can influence the young minds of young students and artists and stifle their growth." I agree 100%, and this is one of the many reasons why Branford has always puzzled me -... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Schubert, I agree with you that Shaham is one of the best I have ever heard live as well. I have played with most of the really famous ones of the past twenty years now. Another favorite of mine, though very different, is Perlman. He did one of th... |
