| Great and well-recorded jazz on CD Joe Henderson's State of the Tenor, recorded live at the Village Vanguard in 1985. A two CD re-issue on Blue Note. He is accompanied by Ron Carter (one of my favorites) on the bass and Al Foster on the drums. This is, IMHO, great stuff. Sorry for ... | |
| Popping noises Yes. It could be JJ's. I've had noisy ones. But as often as not with newer tubes it was a seating/contact problem. One of the reasons I suggested that as a probable issue for you was the appearance of the noise during warm up but not continually t... | |
| Popping noises Could be just a bad connection developing between tube pins and socket connection. Try removing and re-seating the tubes, power and small tubes. If you can identify the specific tube, and you might do this by rotating tubes from channel to channel... | |
| Need help with Jazz Some up-beat jazz singers that might interest you. Amongst some of the contemporary singers I really enjoy are ReneMarie, Mary Stallings, and Laverne Butler. They have each recorded several CD's for MaxJazz. Great stuff to my ears. | |
| Need some Jazz recommendations..some pop and swing Jazz with a swing influence, up beat. My favorite for that would be Scott Hamilton. He recorded a lot of stuff for Concord Jazz. Excellent recordings as well.You might do well to find a copy of AMG's All Music Guide to Jazz. It is an excellent and... | |
| What is “warmth” and how do you get it? Learsfool, I think you are absolutely correct. I could go on ad nauseum, but suffice it to say that I see only one term when talking about electric signals, 'harmonic distortion', with the word 'distortion' being a noun and 'harmonic' being an adj... | |
| What is “warmth” and how do you get it? Hi Mr T,As I have said in a post previous to the one you have quoted, my only hope when I listen to recorded music is to hear something that sounds natural, consonant with that which I would experience live. My live experiences leave me with littl... | |
| What is “warmth” and how do you get it? Mapman, FWIW, I agree with your first two sentences. I think tonal differences in speakers can easily be effected by enclosure design, speaker selection, and crossover design. Except for those speakers which have been intentionally designed to use... | |
| What is “warmth” and how do you get it? Bryon, Re Room treatments/tuning, like everything else in audio, ain't a Sunday walk in the park with a pretty girl.Depends on what you are trying to change to create 'warmth'. In this post I will assume that 'warmth' means unemphasized highs with... | |
| System Synergy I also agree with Byroncunningham's observations except that I think it omits an important initial step, that is determining which type of speaker (dynamic, horn, planer, electrostat) is most likely to produce the type of sound and 'sound-stage' t... | |
| Most Challenging CD Dafos IMHO has its most lasting quality in the cut with the crashing bass drum. When your system replicates the sound in one of the cuts on side two, I forget which, clearly for what it is, not just a big unmusical sound, you're well on your way t... | |
| Danny Boy - Recommendations Dtc, I can't really help you as I've never really focused on the various performances of this song. I've Cassidy's version and I love her performance as well.My question for you is based on my perception that the lasting power of this simple music... | |
| What is “warmth” and how do you get it? FWIW, I think someone has already touched upon one of the critical elements to the appearance of warmth in a system with balanced tone, that is the proper rise and decay of the signal without which balanced tone becomes meaningless. IMHO proper ri... | |
| Seeking comments from ProLogue 3-5-6-7 owners... Morganholz, I infer from your comments that you have done a lot of reading of reviews of the Primaluna equipment. That is good, but in the event you have not read the review of the 3/5 combo in 6moons, and you are interested in possibly using thes... | |
| Seeking comments from ProLogue 3-5-6-7 owners... You've probably already picked up my comments on the 3/5 combo from other posts when you used the search feature. The Readers Digest version is they work well in combo but separately for me not so much so. Their sound is linear and detailed. Moder... |
