| I think I've Just Seen Absolute Proof That Audiophiles Are Insanely Gullible @don_c55 , you're right. There are probably silly priced cables, fuses, whatever, that can be viewed as a rip-off. And if someone was marketing the Dalby D7 Vinyl Stabilizer as the most bitchin' nicest looking record clamp that money could buy, h... | |
| I think I've Just Seen Absolute Proof That Audiophiles Are Insanely Gullible for @ebm , "A legendary Shun Mook product now being made in a very, very limited number. This record clamp is made from extremely rare pieces of dried ebony briar. This extra heavy century old ebony root which were immersed in the swamps of Africa... | |
| I think I've Just Seen Absolute Proof That Audiophiles Are Insanely Gullible @jmcgrogan2 , you've given me a new idea . . . I think that I might start writing a "scam of the week" based on what appears to be the most ridiculous snake oil being sold on AudioGullible that week! :)@jond, you raise a very good point. It does ... | |
| Recondition My Old Plinius M12 Preamp or Junk It For Something Better (and what)? @jond , that was really what I was thinking . . . I guess I have to look at what performance I am getting for $1100, not what it is worth on the used market. I was contemplating a Classe 700, for example, something used in the 2000-3000 range. V... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman, rules to live by!Now, on to the music. First, thanks for the Les McCann suggestion, @jzzmusician! Never heard it before, at least, not that I can recall! Just gave it a listen and it definitely rocks -- not my "favorite," but great li... | |
| Do you think audiophiles are the most gullible hobbyists Wow, here is an emotionally charged issue! Still, I will wade in. Audiophiles are music aficionados, and chase an elusive quest . . . to be able to put music on and feel as if the band (or orchestra) is right in front of you. The fact of the ma... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @rok2id , Glad I could help. But I have to say that the BluRay audio is light years better that even the CD in terms of sound quality. I'm actually not sure how they cleaned it up so well, but it is pretty impressive. When I get the BluRay audio... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @rok2id, at the risk of being too much of a "fanboy" for The Sound Of Jazz," I have the BluRay version ripped to my music server in two flavors: one is a 2.5 gig MKV and one is a 22 gig BDMV file. It has more stuff than was on the Sound of Jazz ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @orpheus10, Señor Blues rocks! never listened to that before. Really great stuff! I like both versions! | |
| 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 . . . :) |
