Name your favorite sax solo.
Iso,That whole album was a masterful offering.At 12, as a little boy, I loved it, appreciating on a purely emotional, visceral level--and today, I still love it, and appreciate it viscerally, emotionally AND intellectually.Nancy's voice, Cannonbal...

It's fitting to me, that Jim's last design was a 3 series product.My first ownership from him was the 03a, an equalized, 25Hz to 20Khz, loudspeaker of relatively diminuitive stature...then within a couple of years, the CS3, (Coherent Source 3) the...

Martykl,Thanks, me like.What an incredible 'invention'--is that his design, or did that already exist? I remember when Andreas Vollenweider(spelling?)did his first album with the Electro Acoustic Harp...it was so different I immediately loved it. ...

Another performer that I've grown to love is, Melody Gardot. Great singer and songwriter.Several videos of her on YouTube.Really, great music and writing.Good listening,Larry 
Why do intelligent people deny audio differences?
I sincerely hope that all of you realize one thing...many years ago, I would admonish my customers at the retail level..."This is a singular hobby, don't expect your friends to begin to understand."They'll come over, you'll be all excited about yo... 
Manufacurers I have known.... 2 Bobby Palkovic
Another thing about 'the Bobster'.When I was rebuilding my friend's loudspeakers that had been hit by lightening, and Bob was 'talking me through it' (with incredible patience)...I remember how stunned I was at the finish work, and level of parts ...

Thanks Iso,When Liz was so excited and effusive about hearing all the 'new music' I was introducing her to, I too became reenergized, realizing almost from a 3rd party kind of thing, what she was experiencing...and wondered, 'What if' some of my f... 
Why Don't More People Love Audio?
The larger question is most likely, 'Why don't more people love music enough to make it a LARGER part of their daily lives?' For example, why don't more people become more invested in music as opposed to Television?The other night, I was talking t... 
Name your favorite sax solo.
Martykl,To finally answer the question, was there 'any Parker solo, specifically that made me think that', NO.As is usually the case, it's the 'body of work', the style, the simple phrasing, repeated 'licks' that a player uses that become his sign... 
Bublé's Louisville Concert 6/4/11
I'm surprised that more people haven't addressed the overall, larger concept of Concert Sound.The Bublé experience was just one...I've had so many, and virtually every one, (excluding Phoebe Show's Louisville show) was better.It was tragic, as I, ... 
Name your favorite sax solo.
Martykl,It's been more than two years since you asked the question about Charlie Parker's works, and I just now noticed,. Sorry. Because of his era, (he died, I believe in 1955/56), his recordings insofar as I know would all have to have been mono... 
Anyone compared NAD and Cambridge Intergrateds?
I haven't heard this particular unit...but the 'House Sound' of the Cambridge is smoother and more musical than NAD to my ears.That, and NAD has a bad habit, (in the past maybe not this unit), of having some thermal issues, or current greater than... 
Classe SSP 800 vs. Krell S-1200
Classe's circuitry is almost always smoother sounding to me. Repeat, to me. I really can't explain why...and I know it seems that I give Krell a shot every time it comes up.Classe is very smoothe and musical sounding in all areas of their product ... 
Why do intelligent people deny audio differences?
Tubegroover..."My question to you Larry is How do you two get along otherwise?:) There appears to be something deeper going on than your question..."I was talking to a friend, who's also a shrink telling him about some of our interactions, like th... 
Bublé's Louisville Concert 6/4/11
Shadorne,The crew I heard was unbelievably talented...the guy playing bari sax was the best I've heard, and I'm a Gerry Mulligan fan. They were, in a word magnificent...my only gripe, again was the sound system/venue or both.Also, to say he has an...
