| Kind of Blue SACD on a whim. @tablejockey I didn't (and don't) intend to start an argument about what works and what doesn't. I am pretty jaded about a lot of claims aimed at audiophiles but I do have good equipment and expensive cables. BUT, the claims made in the ad for tha... | |
| Kind of Blue SACD on a whim. @tablejockey Yep. I just haven't been able to pull the trigger on a couple bottles of this stuff:https://www.highfidelitycables.com/Nanoparticle/NPS1260.php?utm_source=audiogon&utm_medium=banne... | |
| Kind of Blue SACD on a whim. Thanks again guys. Will look into those other albums. | |
| Kind of Blue SACD on a whim. Thanks guys. Good info. It sounds like I didn't screw up at least. For $30 I thought it was worth trying.Not into vinyl. And in reality I'm not super finicky in terms of being an audiophile. CD quality has always been good enough for me as long as... | |
| Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz. Follow up from the OP (me). It has been nearly a year since my last post in this thread.During the following months I had pretty much given up on jazz. Just wasn't going back to it much other than Branford Marsalis' album "Eternal" on Sunday morni... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Bozz Skaggs - Silk Degrees. A few good ones on this album. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? The Honey Drippers - Volume One. Good stuff. Some of Plant's best. A shame there was no volume 2. | |
| Anyone have experience with Aerial Acoustics 6Ts? I think I gave an update in another thread but I did get the 6Ts. I was able to audition then with the Bryston 5 channel 140 watt amp they were originally paired with. Obviously they sounded amazing. But the Bryston required a pre-amp etc and that... | |
| The Tragic Decline of Music Literacy (and Quality) @bdp24 , Are you seriously suggesting that the decline in public schools teaching the humanities began on the right? Even if you could prove such a thing, it would be hard to support that that is still the case. Technology has driven the STEM curr... | |
| The Tragic Decline of Music Literacy (and Quality) mahgister wrote:"How can you distinguish head and tail in your life in north-america with a so abyssal ignorance?"Seriously? North America has cornered the market on abysmal ignorance? Where do you suppose the wisdom resides? Europe? That’s laugha... | |
| Looking for new streaming service. Some unusual requirements. I’m trying out Qobuz right now. Looks and sounds good. I have not spent much time messing around with it yet and one thing I don’t see is recommendations based on my listening history. Does it do that? Am I overlooking it? Thanks.If it does not ha... | |
| Take up drums at age 56? Great video. Reminds me of Bernard Purdie's ghost notes. You can't even see his hand move. | |
| The Tragic Decline of Music Literacy (and Quality) For the last three years my wife and I have sponsored our new local symphony at the second highest sponsorship level. Not bragging, she has been active in the organization and its what we wanted to do. And it has been a pleasure to be able to do s... | |
| Take up drums at age 56? That pretty much describes me. I don't think I'll ever be good but I'm having a lot of fun. Also learning a LOT. About drumming and technique of course but also about music in general, as well as about a lot of great drummers.The thing that keeps ... | |
| Take up drums at age 56? I had forgotten about this thread. So here is an update. Much of it verifies the great advice I got here.For about the last 18 months I’ve been a member of Drumeo, a drum instruction web site. It is simply amazing. Set courses. Hundreds if not tho... |
