| How should I install the new tubes in my stereo amplifier? Matched pair in each channel. | |
| New Luxman DA-06 doesnt sound so great. Will it get better? Are you using a voltage converter. I assume your CDP is 100v which needs to be converted to 115v. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hi O-10,I'm talking about both. How about we just call it 'musical anthropology', FWIW this is a a' defined' phrase. I guess you didn't know of its existence.Personally, I can't begin to understand how you can separate the two words when that is... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Jeez, if I had known about the Grammy Award first I'd probably never have listened to it, let alone recommended it. :-) But I'm glad I did. Are you a regular member of this group? I think I have most of their recordings which I highly value BTW. ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, FWIW I can hum Stravinski. :-)If you care to hear something less heard by his occasional listeners who only know him from his to Ballets, pick up 'Shadow Dances' by the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra Orchestra on DG. His Tango in cut 1 is (for me... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I'm sure there are plenty of recordings of African drum beating, but if you have have a penchant for vinyl recordings seek out "Professor Johnson's Amazing Sound Show" on Reference Recordings I believe. It has some 'amazing' displays of solo Afric... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, Re Beethoven's connection to my African log beater - think 'rhythm'. Ludwig really understood the use of rhythm. It dominates his music - its what really grabs your attention, especially in his 5th, 7th, and 9th, in particular, I think. That'... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, Perhaps Rok was thinking about Shostakovitch when he said 20th century classical composers stole from jazz. Actually I think his attempts to compose 'jazz' might be more accurate, especially his jazz suites, which while pleasant enoug... | |
| Frequency band of sibilance Thanks Rodman, that helps a lot. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I can't (or maybe just won't) try to answer your 'unanswered question', except to say that I thought that your posts as well of the posts of Orpheus were, far more often than not, more about yourselves and your perceptions/opinions, than the ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, First, nice thoughtful post.My POV is a bit more simplistic perhaps, but I believe most folks are anchored to music they found appealing during their youth and unless they developed a serious interest in a particular idiom they, at least sub... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, If you are interested in 'jazz' vocalists you might be interested in the music of Laverne Butler, Rene Marie, and Mary Stallings. All contemporary vocalists. All have recorded on the MaxJazz label. I'm not sure how well known they are (o... | |
| Lector CDP-0 6T or Denon 3930ci? I don't have a Lector, but it sounds like you need a little work to the transport and/or laser. Could be a simple as cleaning the laser's lens yourself if you can figure out how to access it. Works for me. When my last laser/transport failed (of... | |
| Will Changing my 100 Watt Tube Amp to a 200 Watt SS Amp Solve My Problem? Mark, I forgot to mention, be careful thinking about the wonders of a tube phono stage, ARC or not. The sonics are quite often great but noise, not so much. When I think about tubed phone stages I always think of high output MC cartridges. Low out... | |
| Will Changing my 100 Watt Tube Amp to a 200 Watt SS Amp Solve My Problem? Mark, I don't know how assessible the folks at Whest are but my next move would be to contact their service department or technician and set out the issues to them and see what response you draw, if any. |
