| Jazz for aficionados Now, now . . . we all know that everyone has different preferences in music. Aside from my love of jazz, which my wife doesn't like at all, I love Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Pink Floyd. She hates ELP, but loves Pink Floyd. Why? No real way... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @rok2id, the track list from the DVD (released in 2003) includes more of the songs than were on the LP or CD. I've been unable to locate a copy of the DVD, however . . . :(As an aside, I am blown away by the amount of content on Youtube of old cl... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I think that there is no right or wrong when talking about Sound of Jazz. Rok2id is certainly correct that there are other jazz "greats" that should have performed with the 32 that did, but as frogman pointed out, who knows what Louie Armstrong's... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @rok2id, interesting . . . Fine & Mellow didn’t make me sad, other than to think how we lost such a great talent. Even with her voice shot, she was amazing, and you’re right, she OWNED that song. Look at her face as her friends are doing their... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman, thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. I actually just put it on tonight as I haven't seen it in a while. Even better than I remember! Red Allen's "Rosetta" with Coleman Hawkins et al. is masterful, as is Billie Holliday's "Fine and Mellow," a... | |
| New format, dislike..... I like the new format. The old one was so tube-like in terms of age and technology but not smoothness . . . :) | |
| Jazz for aficionados All of the above are phenomenal suggestions, and the number of fantastic recordings make it difficult to pick out even four or five. So I will try to suggest one that hasn't been mentioned and is a little obscure: The Sound of Jazz - A TV special... | |
| How much do I have to spend? I respectfully disagree that the preamp is responsible for "Everything else, soundstage, imagine, refinement, detail . .. " I just swapped between my Plinius SA 100 Mk III and my Theta Digital Dreadnaught because the Plinius is going to the spa f... | |
| Cables for Focal Utopia Diablo I switched from the Cardas Golden Cross to a pair of MIT S3's and I have to say that after breaking them in for a couple of weeks, I prefer the MIT cables. As usual, the differences are subtle -- better soundstage, a smoother sound, so I would co... | |
| Joseph Audio Pulsars v. Focal Diablo Utopia's Thanks for the feedback! There are no Joseph dealers anywhere near me, so their sound is a mystery to me. However, I went to a local Focal dealer and listened to the Diablos and they sounded superb. I got a good deal on a pair here and ended up ... | |
| Power Cable choices Audience Power Chords. Expensive, but great cables. I was actually surprised at the improvement they made in focusing the bass. I'm a convert to the potential of power cords to audibly improve your sound. I used to think that it was complete BS. N... | |
| I'm studying MIT cables I'm weighing in late here because I just picked up a set of MIT Shotgun S3's from Joe. I have to say that the whole "poles of articulation" sounds like complete BS to me, but then, I'm no engineer, just a lawyer, :). What I can't argue with, and w... | |
| MIT Shotgun Question. I'm coming late to this party. Just happened upon it because I was interested in what others thought about the MIT 1.3 speaker cables versus Cardas Golden Cross. I have to say that as much as I liked the Golden Cross with my Joseph Audio rm25XL's,... | |
| Cables for Focal Utopia Diablo I'm a little late to this party, but I just acquired a pair of Diablo Utopia iii's and I am running them off my Plinius SA103 with Cardas Golden Cross speaker wire. Sounds excellent! Although I have to confess to a bit of heresy: my Joseph Audio r... | |
| who has experience with Joseph Audio? A little late in responding but I have been out of the audiophile game while I moved. I have to say that the Joseph Audio RM25si's are wonderful in my 2 channel music system. Incredible, in fact. I have an all B&W Nautilus 805 HT system powere... |
