| Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz. @jjss49: I will certainly look into Kenny Burrell. Thanks.@stuartk: Thanks for those recommendations as well. | |
| Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz. stuartk, I am branching out with the artists you mentioned. I think I'm drawn now to the late bop and early modal stuff.As for your question, I'm not sure. I think it will take some more thought since I like all of the songs. Probably not sophist... | |
| What would be your favorite 3 tracks that demonstrate how great your system sounds? Dire Straights - You and Your FriendSting - The Wild Wild Sea from Soul Cages QSound CDMiles Davis- Kind of Blue SACDBonus: Anything from Steely Dan’s Two Against Nature (Any lossless format will do). | |
| The Black Keys - Delta Kream I love the song but it sounds terribly compressed to me. All of their other stuff is too.For those interested, check out Jimmy "Duck" Holmes, a modern blues man from Mississippi. Auerbach plays some on his latest album. Maybe produces it as well?A... | |
| The Black Keys - Delta Kream Just listened to Crawling Kingsnake........sounds just like Auerbach's take on Junior Kimbrough......which is what I like so much about Chulahoma. I think I'm going to love this album. | |
| The Black Keys - Delta Kream I look forward to hearing it. I like the band. I like what they have done with and for a number of blues men. Loved their last album but my favorite is still Chulahoma. | |
| Kind of Blue SACD on a whim. @mrdecibel It was a typo. You are correct my pre is the LS-16 (earlier version) not LS-15. The later model LS-16 MkII had a different tube configuration. I will definitely look up "A Tribute to Jack Johnson". Thanks for the tip. | |
| WHAT IS THE MOST UNIQUE SONG THAT YOU HAVE EVER HEARD? Troglodyte by The Jimmy Castor Bunch. Funny. Awesome funk baseline.https://youtu.be/JNS42Na2mpcHappy Boy by the Beat Farmers. Possibly the only song in history to include a gargling solo.https://youtu.be/LEZtII8rt_Y@clearthink The New Oxford Ameri... | |
| Kind of Blue SACD on a whim. I have a pair of 6Ts in my living room. They sound pretty good too. | |
| Kind of Blue SACD on a whim. @jafant My main system: Audio Research LS-15 tube pre-amp, Proceed Madrigal HPA-2 amp (Levinson), Oppo BDP-105D player, Aerial Acoustics 7B towers with Transparent Super Bi-wire cables. | |
| Kind of Blue SACD on a whim. Correction: My reference to All Blues above should have read Flamenco Sketches. | |
| Kind of Blue SACD on a whim. Got the SACD today. It sounds great. DR is stellar as expected. And if it was anything but stellar this type of music would be ruined in my opinion. At moderately loud volume this SACD sounds fantastic. To me, low and marginal DR music sounds wors... | |
| Kind of Blue SACD on a whim. Indeed! | |
| Kind of Blue SACD on a whim. Thanks. I started the journey about 12 months ago but it just sort of faded away but now its getting rev'ed up again so who knows, maybe it'll take this time.Just listened to Cannonball's "Somethin' Else" and really liked it. Miles shines on this ... | |
| Kind of Blue SACD on a whim. @tablejockey I’m also at a happy point as far as systems go. And as with other hobbies, once I get to that point gear no longer interests me. I decided a while back that vinyl was not my thing. Not a knock on anyone who loves it but the level of c... |
